Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Birmingham, UK. Birmingham is exhibitions and events. NEC and ICC shows fill midweeks, and concerts, the Frankfurt Christmas Market and football fill weekends. Many guests come for one exhibition, so I price from the NEC calendar. The NEC is outside the city centre, so homes near the airport and the exhibition centre behave differently from city-centre flats. I price the two locations on separate comps.
For a Birmingham owner I decide first whether the home is an NEC property or a city property, then build pricing from that calendar. We set exhibition, concert and match premiums, weekday corporate rates and winter floors, so the home is priced for the guests who actually stay there.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Birmingham, UK.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

The Spring Fair at the NEC in February is the main exception. I price that week strongly near the NEC and keep city-centre floors realistic for the rest of winter.
Crufts in March and the spring exhibition calendar create sharp peaks near the NEC. I price each show by expected size and keep city flats on weekday business rates.
Test matches and concerts at Edgbaston, Villa Park and the arenas fill weekends. I price event weekends individually and accept shorter stays outside them.
Party conferences in some years, the Horse of the Year Show and autumn exhibitions bring strong midweek demand. I price conference weeks as premiums near the ICC and the NEC.
The Frankfurt Christmas Market and Christmas parties lift weekends in the city centre. I raise those weekends and keep weekdays priced for business travellers.
Load NEC and ICC exhibitions and price each by size.
Add Utilita Arena concerts and the Christmas Market.
Set midweek corporate rates.
Add Aston Villa fixtures as premiums.
Lower January and February floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

Strong work!

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!
