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 Chattanooga: Tennessee Volunteers football; Ironman Chattanooga and outdoor tourism; Riverbend Festival; Smoky Mountains overflow. Guests I price for: Regional families and game-day groups on 2 to 3 night stays. Where I start: Game-day and event premiums, outdoor-season weekend rates, and winter floors.
For hotels in either city, my five-star background helps me balance university and corporate demand, sports and festival weekends and leisure groups, with rate fences and group blocks that protect the busiest autumn weekends from early low-priced bookings and a separate comp set for each city.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Chattanooga.
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.
“Chattanooga and Knoxville are regional weekend markets with big football and outdoor events. Tennessee home games fill Knoxville, while Chattanooga sells outdoor tourism, Ironman and Riverbend. Some Knoxville demand also spills over from the Smokies. I price each city on its own event calendar.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Visitors thin out, so I lower floors in both cities, allow one night stays and keep weekly rates for travelling workers.
Spring outdoor trips and Knoxville's Dogwood Arts festival lift weekends, so I price those dates and keep weekdays flexible.
Riverbend fills Chattanooga's riverfront, so I price festival nights highest near downtown and keep summer weekends strong in both cities.
Heat slows demand, so I keep weekend rates for river and lake visitors and use weekly offers for families heading to the mountains.
Volunteer home games, Ironman and the Head of the Hooch regatta fill weekends, so I price each event date individually and open them early.
Holiday visits create a few good weekends, so I price those and keep midweek rates low for the rest of the month.
Price Tennessee Volunteers home games as premiums in Knoxville.
Add Ironman Chattanooga and Riverbend as event premiums.
Use 2-night weekend minimums in the outdoor season.
Price Knoxville homes near the Smokies for overflow demand.
Lower January and February floors.
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. 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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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!

Busiest in Chattanooga: April to October, with Tennessee home-game weekends, Riverbend Festival and Ironman. June: Riverbend fills Chattanooga's riverfront, so I price festival nights highest near downtown and keep summer weekends strong in both cities. September to November: Volunteer home games, Ironman and the Head of the Hooch regatta fill weekends, so I price each event date individually and open them early. 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 close a Knoxville home is to Neyland Stadium, since walk-to-game homes can price game days far above homes that need a drive and parking.
Use 2-night weekend minimums in the outdoor season. Next: lower January and February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga: January to February. December: Holiday visits create a few good weekends, so I price those and keep midweek rates low for the rest of the month. January to February: Visitors thin out, so I lower floors in both cities, allow one night stays and keep weekly rates for travelling workers.
Both cities priced from one comp set and winter priced like summer. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Chattanooga, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Chattanooga, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Chattanooga sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. January to February: Visitors thin out, so I lower floors in both cities, allow one night stays and keep weekly rates for travelling workers.
Chattanooga North Shore and Southside: Walkable to the riverfront and festivals; I price for event weekends and outdoor travellers, with Riverbend and Ironman dates highest. Lookout Mountain and Knoxville Fort Sanders and the Old City 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.
Smoky Mountains overflow, Tennessee Volunteers football and Ironman Chattanooga and outdoor tourism are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Chattanooga. July to August: Heat slows demand, so I keep weekend rates for river and lake visitors and use weekly offers for families heading to the mountains.
