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 Fargo: North Dakota State University and the Bison football program; Fargodome concerts and events; Regional healthcare and agriculture business travel; Summer youth sports and tournaments. Guests I price for: Bison fans and visiting families on game weekends, business and medical travellers midweek, and travelling nurses on monthly stays. Where I start: Game-weekend premiums, monthly winter rates for medical and contract stays, and winter floors.
Fargo hotels live on healthcare, agriculture and corporate travel during the week, and on Bison football, concerts and tournaments at weekends. From my five-star hotel revenue background I help manage team and fan blocks for playoff weekends, healthcare negotiated rates and a comp set split between the interstate corridor and downtown.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Fargo.
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.
Revenue management for a Fargo hotel balances healthcare, agriculture and corporate travel during the week with Bison football, Fargodome concerts and youth tournaments at weekends. The hardest dates are FCS playoff rounds, which can be confirmed only days ahead. I manage each segment separately, keep a prepared playoff strategy and set winter rules that protect the rate in the coldest months.
My first move is to build a playoff playbook: rates, minimum stays and group release rules that can be switched on as soon as a home game is announced.
Deep cold limits leisure, so I run monthly offers for medical contracts and keep nightly prices for business travel near the hospitals and the Fargodome events calendar.
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.
Broadway restaurants, the Fargo Theatre and walkable nights out; I price for couples and event visitors, and keep business weekday rates firm all year.
My full Fargo calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Fargo.
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. 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!
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 Fargo: June to August and North Dakota State Bison home football in the autumn. June to August: 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. September to November: Bison home Saturdays and campus events lead the autumn; I tier games by opponent, add homecoming weekend and keep harvest-season agriculture travel in mind for weekdays. 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. Whether the listing is ready for a travelling nurse: monthly pricing, a proper workspace, reliable internet, laundry and clear notes on distance to Sanford and Essentia campuses.
Offer monthly rates near Sanford and Essentia for travelling nurses and medical contractors. Next: set winter floors that reflect real heating and snow-clearing costs. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Fargo 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 Fargo: December to February. January to March: Deep cold limits leisure, so I run monthly offers for medical contracts and keep nightly prices for business travel near the hospitals and the Fargodome events calendar. April to May: 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.
Pricing Moorhead homes as if Minnesota rules and taxes were the same as North Dakota's and running only short stays in winter instead of competing for medical monthly stays. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Fargo, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Fargo, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Fargo sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. April to May: 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.
Downtown Fargo: Broadway restaurants, the Fargo Theatre and walkable nights out; I price for couples and event visitors, and keep business weekday rates firm all year. Near NDSU and the Fargodome and Moorhead and West Fargo 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.
Summer youth sports and tournaments, North Dakota State University and the Bison football program and Fargodome concerts and events are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Fargo. December: If the Bison host playoff rounds, I switch on prepared rates within hours of the announcement; otherwise I lower floors and push holiday stays for visiting families.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Fargo and work remotely in Central Time (UTC-6).
