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 Donegal: Slieve League cliffs and Glenveagh National Park; Surfing in Bundoran; Wild Atlantic Way road trips; Northern Ireland weekend visitors. Guests I price for: Irish and Northern Irish families on weekly summer stays and road-trippers. Where I start: Summer weekly rates, weekend demand from Belfast and Derry, and Ireland's short-term letting registration.
For Donegal hotels I work on wedding and event business, summer family packages and weekend demand from the North, with length-of-stay controls on festival dates. I apply the revenue habits from my years in five-star chain hotels to a seasonal county where weekends carry the shoulder months.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Donegal.
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 Donegal hotel's year turns on three things: the July fortnight when Northern Ireland heads for the coast, wedding Saturdays that book a year or more out, and the long winter when weekend breaks from Derry and Belfast carry the trade. When I run revenue I decide which summer Saturdays to protect for weddings rather than leisure, how to price family rooms, and when winter midweeks deserve a sharper rate.
My first step is reviewing how early the July holiday fortnight filled last summer, then setting opening rates and stay rules for those dates before families start enquiring.
I keep winter floors low but bookable, aiming at surfers, walkers and couples on weekend breaks from the North, and allow two-night stays.
Easter and the May bank holiday wake the county up, so I price those weekends high and publish summer weeks early, because families plan their holidays during spring.
Surfing and the beach drive weekend demand from the North all year, so I price weekends firmly and treat summer as family weeks.
My full Donegal calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Donegal.
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.

Strong work!
Airbnb host
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 Donegal: June to August. June to August: Family weeks dominate and festivals such as Earagail and the one in Dungloe add pressure, so I keep changeover days and firm weekly rates. 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. Heating, drying space and Wi-Fi strength, because Atlantic weather and remote locations make these the first things Donegal guests mention in reviews.
Price Friday and Saturday nights for Derry and Belfast weekenders from spring to autumn. Next: keep winter floors low but bookable for surfers and storm watchers on short breaks. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Donegal 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 Donegal: November to February. November to February: I keep winter floors low but bookable, aiming at surfers, walkers and couples on weekend breaks from the North, and allow two-night stays. March to May: Easter and the May bank holiday wake the county up, so I price those weekends high and publish summer weeks early, because families plan their holidays during spring.
Northern Ireland school holidays missing from the calendar and inishowen, Bundoran and the Gaeltacht coast priced as one market. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Donegal, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Donegal, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Donegal sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo. June to August: Family weeks dominate and festivals such as Earagail and the one in Dungloe add pressure, so I keep changeover days and firm weekly rates.
Bundoran and the south coast: Surfing and the beach drive weekend demand from the North all year, so I price weekends firmly and treat summer as family weeks. Inishowen and Malin Head and Dunfanaghy, Gweedore and the north-west 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.
