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 Fire Island. Fire Island runs on ferries, wagons and summer shares, so I price it as a seasonal product first and a nightly product second. A full season, a half season or a group share for July and August is often sold by late winter, and only what is left goes onto Vrbo or Airbnb. Each community, from Ocean Beach to Cherry Grove and the Pines, has its own rules, crowd and calendar, so I never price the island as one place.
For a Fire Island owner I begin with the community, the ferry and the local rules, then design the mix of seasonal lease, shares, weeks and weekends that suits the house. We set the order in which each is offered and the date by which unsold time moves to the next option.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Fire Island.
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.
In a Fire Island review I often find hotels using the same price for every summer weekend, even though the Fourth of July, Invasion of the Pines and Labor Day are worth far more. I also look at deposit and cancellation terms, because weather and ferry cancellations make flexible policies expensive. Shoulder weekends in May and September deserve their own strategy rather than an afterthought.
I would deliver a weekend-by-weekend price ladder for the whole season, plus a clear cancellation policy tied to ferry disruptions.
Memorial Day weekend opens the island; I price it as a strong holiday, then sell June weekends to couples and small groups with Friday arrival and Sunday departure.
With shares and seasonal tenants in place, I price any remaining weeks firmly, treat Pines Party and Fourth of July weekends as the top dates, and refuse odd midweek fragments.
The island's LGBTQ+ communities reached from Sayville; I build the calendar around Invasion of the Pines, Pines Party and theme weekends that drive pricing here.

Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding

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. Whether the village or town rules covering the property limit occupancy, rental length or group shares, because Ocean Beach and Saltaire in particular run tighter rules than other communities.
Busiest in Fire Island: Memorial Day to Labor Day, with July and August weekends the highest. Late June to mid-August: With shares and seasonal tenants in place, I price any remaining weeks firmly, treat Pines Party and Fourth of July weekends as the top dates, and refuse odd midweek fragments. Late August to Labor Day: Labor Day closes the season for many houses, so I keep that weekend premium and offer late-August weeks a little earlier to groups who missed out on the main summer. 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.
Season, half-season and weekly pricing, ferry-schedule minimum stays, and holiday-weekend premiums. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Fire Island calendar before I make it. Late August to Labor Day: Labor Day closes the season for many houses, so I keep that weekend premium and offer late-August weeks a little earlier to groups who missed out on the main summer.
A full season, a half season or a group share for July and August is often sold by late winter, and only what is left goes onto Vrbo or Airbnb. Each community, from Ocean Beach to Cherry Grove and the Pines, has its own rules, crowd and calendar, so I never price the island as one place. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Fire Island.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Fire Island the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: set minimum stays around ferry timetables, so a weekend booking arrives on a Friday boat and leaves on a Sunday or Monday boat. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Fire Island sells mostly through Direct seasonal rentals, Vrbo and Airbnb. Late June to mid-August: With shares and seasonal tenants in place, I price any remaining weeks firmly, treat Pines Party and Fourth of July weekends as the top dates, and refuse odd midweek fragments. For hotel revenue management consulting in Fire Island, 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 Fire Island, not the city. Treat the Fourth of July, Invasion of the Pines and Labor Day as their own bands, priced above the July and August weekends around them. Next: charge for walking distance to the ferry dock and the ocean, because guests carry everything by wagon and feel every extra block.
Kismet, Fair Harbor and Davis Park: Smaller, quieter communities where weekly family rentals and long-standing tenants dominate; I protect relationships with returning renters and price spare weekends conservatively. Ocean Beach and Ocean Bay Park and Cherry Grove and Fire Island Pines get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Fire Island, not the market average.
