Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Athens, Georgia: Georgia Bulldogs football at Sanford Stadium; University of Georgia graduation and parents' weekends; The Athens music and downtown scene; AthFest in June. Guests I price for: Bulldogs fans and alumni on 2 to 3 night game weekends, UGA families, and music visitors. Where I start: Home-game premiums tiered by opponent, graduation pricing, and summer floors.
Hotels in Athens, Georgia juggle Sanford Stadium compression, two commencements a year and Classic Center conferences that want the same rooms. I help decide which conference blocks to accept on contested dates, set deposits and minimum stays for home games, and plan June and July around orientation, AthFest and university visitors.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Athens, Georgia.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
Revenue work for a hotel in Athens, Georgia runs on three overlapping calendars: Bulldogs football at Sanford Stadium, the university year with its two commencements, and conferences and concerts at the Classic Center. Downtown properties within walking distance of North Campus feel game compression hardest, while hotels along the loop rely more on weekday visitors to UGA, Piedmont Athens Regional and St. Mary's. I keep both streams in view.
I open with a merged calendar of home games, ceremonies and Classic Center bookings, so I can see which weekends collide and where group rooms would cost the hotel football rates.
Basketball at Stegeman Coliseum and events at the Classic Center bring scattered weekends, so I price those dates individually and keep weekdays at winter floors.
Spring break empties campus for a week, which I price down, while G-Day and the Twilight Criterium lift April weekends sharply.
Walkable to campus, the Georgia Theatre and the bars; I price football and concerts both, with short stays allowed for music visitors outside game weekends.
My full Athens, Georgia calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Athens, Georgia.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Prices below are for a hotel of up to 20 rooms; larger hotels move up the size bands on the hotel plans page. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

Busiest in Athens, Georgia: Georgia Bulldogs home football weekends in the autumn, plus graduation and the spring G-Day game. March to April: Spring break empties campus for a week, which I price down, while G-Day and the Twilight Criterium lift April weekends sharply. May: Commencement fills hotels and rentals for a short window, so I open those dates early, hold two or three night minimums and avoid last-minute discounts. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How easy it is to walk to Sanford Stadium or downtown, since game-day guests avoid driving into the centre and pay more for a home they can leave the car at.
Price G-Day in April and spring graduation as clear premiums, and open them early for families. Next: lift AthFest weekend in June and the Twilight Criterium in April, which bring visitors when campus is otherwise quieter. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Athens, Georgia property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Athens, Georgia: June to July and late December. January to February: Basketball at Stegeman Coliseum and events at the Classic Center bring scattered weekends, so I price those dates individually and keep weekdays at winter floors. June to July: AthFest and orientation help, but most weeks are quiet; I target music fans and Atlanta weekenders with shorter stays and accept softer weekdays.
Pricing downtown apartments and family homes in Five Points or Normaltown on the same curve and letting summer collapse because students have left, rather than marketing to music visitors and Atlanta weekenders. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Athens, Georgia, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Athens, Georgia, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Athens, Georgia sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. January to February: Basketball at Stegeman Coliseum and events at the Classic Center bring scattered weekends, so I price those dates individually and keep weekdays at winter floors.
Downtown Athens: Walkable to campus, the Georgia Theatre and the bars; I price football and concerts both, with short stays allowed for music visitors outside game weekends. Cobbham and the Boulevard area and Watkinsville and Oconee County get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
AthFest in June, Georgia Bulldogs football at Sanford Stadium and University of Georgia graduation and parents' weekends are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Athens, Georgia. June to July: AthFest and orientation help, but most weeks are quiet; I target music fans and Atlanta weekenders with shorter stays and accept softer weekdays.
