Overview

What is hotel revenue management consulting in Fargo?

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 Fargo. Fargo and Moorhead sit on two sides of the Red River and two state lines, with three universities, a large healthcare sector and a football team used to playing deep into December. NDSU Bison home games at the Fargodome, including FCS playoff rounds, drive the autumn. Summer is the leisure season, and winter is long and cold. I price game weekends and playoff dates quickly, and lean on monthly stays for nurses and medical staff through the winter.

For a Fargo owner I start by matching the property to its likely guest: Bison fans, medical contracts or business travel. Then we set a winter monthly plan, game tiers and a playoff playbook that can be switched on within a day, and agree how to review results each month.

The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Fargo.

My take on Fargo

Hotel revenue management consulting in Fargo: how I approach it

When I review a Fargo hotel, I often find playoff dates left at ordinary December rates, healthcare negotiated rates with no blackout dates and a comp set that mixes interstate hotels near 13th Avenue with downtown properties. I also look at how the hotel handles harvest season, when agricultural travel lifts weekdays, and whether Moorhead hotels are benchmarked separately.

I deliver a clear plan: playoff readiness rules, corrected negotiated rate terms and a comp set split by location and guest type.

April to MayShoulder

Spring flood watch on the Red River can disrupt travel, then commencement at NDSU, Concordia and MSUM and the Fargo Marathon weekend bring the first real premiums of the year.

June to AugustHigh

Youth tournaments, the Red River Valley Fair in West Fargo and summer concerts fill weekends; I hold Friday and Saturday pairs and fill weekdays with families and work crews.

Near NDSU and the Fargodome

Game day convenience is the selling point, so I put the strongest autumn premiums here and offer parents' weekend and graduation packages in spring.
