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 Clemson. Clemson and Lake Hartwell are two markets sharing one map. In the autumn everything turns on Tigers home games at Memorial Stadium, where groups want two or three nights and arrive early on Friday. In summer the lake takes over, with Upstate and north Georgia families booking full weeks around the dock. Winter is quiet on both. I run lake homes with game-weekend minimums in the autumn and weekly blocks in summer, and I price the two seasons on separate curves.
With a Clemson or Hartwell owner I map the home against two calendars, Tigers football and the summer lake season, and decide which one it should lead with. Together we set changeover days, minimum stays and winter floors, and I show you how to judge an early group inquiry for a home game against the rate the date could earn.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Clemson.
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.
When I review a Clemson hotel, I look at how much compression was captured on game weekends and how well the hotel filled the quieter weeks around them. Were stay restrictions held? Were university and contractor rates realistic? Does the comp set include properties in Seneca, Anderson and Central that football guests actually compare? Those answers shape the plan.
My first job is setting football weekends side by side with the dull weeks around them, so the plan addresses both compression and the winter gap.
Spring bass tournaments, the Orange and White game and May commencement give a few sharp weekends; I lift those and keep the rest priced to catch early lake couples.
Lake season is all about whole weeks, so I protect Saturday changeovers, open next summer's dates in the autumn and only allow short stays when an orphan gap appears late.
Waterfront homes on the Oconee side work in both seasons; I price summer weeks by dock quality and still push autumn game weekends for groups wanting a lake base.
My full Clemson calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Clemson.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. 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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How far the home really is from Memorial Stadium in game-day traffic, since a lake house across the water can feel much further on a Saturday than the map suggests.
Busiest in Clemson: Clemson Tigers home football weekends from September to November, plus summer on Lake Hartwell. June to mid-August: Lake season is all about whole weeks, so I protect Saturday changeovers, open next summer's dates in the autumn and only allow short stays when an orphan gap appears late. September to November: Home Saturdays at Death Valley carry the autumn. I price each one by opponent and kick-off, then set a weekday rate for the gaps that still suits leaf-peepers and Upstate visitors. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Game-weekend premiums with lake-house minimum stays, summer weekly rates, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Clemson calendar before I make it. Late August: Students return and lake families thin out; I shorten minimum stays, quote move-in weekend at a modest premium and start releasing football weekends at their proper rates.
I run lake homes with game-weekend minimums in the autumn and weekly blocks in summer, and I price the two seasons on separate curves. Clemson and Lake Hartwell are two markets sharing one map. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Clemson.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Clemson the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: run Saturday-to-Saturday weeks on lakefront homes from mid-June to early August. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Clemson sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. June to mid-August: Lake season is all about whole weeks, so I protect Saturday changeovers, open next summer's dates in the autumn and only allow short stays when an orphan gap appears late. For hotel revenue management consulting in Clemson, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Clemson, not the city. Price homes with a deep-water private dock above those with a shallow or shared one. Next: lower December to February floors and open monthly stays for visiting faculty and contractors.
Anderson and Portman Shoals: Further from campus but closer to Anderson and I-85, these homes suit summer families from across the Upstate; I keep football premiums smaller and lean on weekly lake rates. Downtown Clemson and College Avenue and Lake Hartwell near Seneca get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Clemson, not the market average.
