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 Clemson: Clemson Tigers football at Memorial Stadium; Clemson University graduation and campus events; Lake Hartwell boating and summer season; Blue Ridge foothills tourism. Guests I price for: Football fans and alumni groups on 2 to 3 night game weekends, and Upstate families on summer lake weeks. Where I start: Game-weekend premiums with lake-house minimum stays, summer weekly rates, and winter floors.
Clemson hotels sell out on game weekends and then face long quiet stretches, so the work is mostly in the gaps. Using my five-star revenue background, I help set football packages and minimum stays, build university and contractor rates for weekdays, and plan lake-season and tournament groups that keep summer occupancy healthier.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Clemson.
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.
A Clemson hotel lives on sharp compression and long gaps. Home games at Memorial Stadium can fill every room in the area, commencement adds two more peaks, and the rest of the year depends on university visitors, contractors and some summer lake traffic. I manage restrictions for game weekends, negotiate weekday accounts and plan groups around summer tournaments and campus events.
My first step is loading the athletics, commencement and campus event calendar into the forecast, then reviewing how the hotel priced last season's home games.
Campus breaks and cold lake water leave little leisure demand, so I lower floors, welcome monthly stays from visiting academics and builders, and use the quiet weeks for dock and boat maintenance.
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.
Walkable to campus and the stadium, so football weekends lead pricing; I keep summer rates modest here because families heading for the lake have little reason to stay in town.
My full Clemson calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Clemson.
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.

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

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 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 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 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.
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. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Clemson 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 Clemson: December to February. December to February: Campus breaks and cold lake water leave little leisure demand, so I lower floors, welcome monthly stays from visiting academics and builders, and use the quiet weeks for dock and boat maintenance. March to May: 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.
Listings silent on dock depth when lake levels drop in a dry year and seneca and Anderson-side homes priced as if they were a walk from campus. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Clemson, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Clemson, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Clemson sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to May: 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.
Downtown Clemson and College Avenue: Walkable to campus and the stadium, so football weekends lead pricing; I keep summer rates modest here because families heading for the lake have little reason to stay in town. Lake Hartwell near Seneca and Anderson and Portman Shoals 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.
Blue Ridge foothills tourism, Clemson Tigers football at Memorial Stadium and Clemson University graduation and campus events are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Clemson. 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.
