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 Flagstaff: Grand Canyon South Rim visitation; Route 66 and Sedona road trips; Arizona Snowbowl ski season; Northern Arizona University calendar. Guests I price for: International and domestic road-trippers on 1 to 3 night stays, Phoenix families escaping summer heat. Where I start: Summer premiums, road-trip-length minimum stays, and shoulder floors.
Flagstaff has many motels and hotels along Route 66 and Milton Road, all competing for road trippers and tour groups. I help set rate fences for summer and ski weekends, plan tour group allotments, and choose comp sets by location and guest type rather than star rating alone.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Flagstaff.
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.
“Flagstaff is a road-trip base. International visitors and families stop for one to three nights on the way to the Grand Canyon, Sedona or Route 66, while Phoenix residents escape summer heat. Ski weekends at Snowbowl add winter demand. Minimum stays are the most common mistake, because long ones block exactly the guests the town attracts.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Snowbowl weekends and Phoenix families chasing snow make Saturdays the strongest winter nights, so I price storm weekends and holidays well above quiet weekdays when the roads stay dry.
Spring break road trips to the canyon and late ski days overlap, so I price spring break weeks individually and accept softer weekdays as the season turns.
NAU commencement opens the summer rush, then Phoenix heat sends families north, so I lift weekends first and keep one-night stays open for international drivers heading to the South Rim.
Monsoon afternoons do not stop visitors, but I watch for road closures and fire restrictions and avoid holding rates so high that mid-week road trippers choose Williams or Tusayan instead.
Aspen colour on the Inner Basin and cool hiking weather bring weekend couples, so I price those dates firmly and lower weekdays until ski season opens.
Allow 1-night stays most of the year for road-trippers.
Price May to October as the main season.
Add Snowbowl ski weekends and holidays as winter premiums.
Price Northern Arizona University graduation and family weekends individually.
Set November and April floors.
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. 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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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 Flagstaff: May to October for the Grand Canyon and ski weekends at Arizona Snowbowl from December to March. December to February: Snowbowl weekends and Phoenix families chasing snow make Saturdays the strongest winter nights, so I price storm weekends and holidays well above quiet weekdays when the roads stay dry. May to June: NAU commencement opens the summer rush, then Phoenix heat sends families north, so I lift weekends first and keep one-night stays open for international drivers heading to the South Rim. 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 the listing explains travel times to the South Rim, Sedona and Snowbowl, because road-trip guests choose Flagstaff bases by drive time rather than by neighbourhood.
Add Snowbowl ski weekends and holidays as winter premiums. Next: set November and April floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Flagstaff 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 Flagstaff: November and April. October to November: Aspen colour on the Inner Basin and cool hiking weather bring weekend couples, so I price those dates firmly and lower weekdays until ski season opens. March to April: Spring break road trips to the canyon and late ski days overlap, so I price spring break weeks individually and accept softer weekdays as the season turns.
Winter treated as low season despite ski weekends and summer weekends priced like summer weekdays. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Flagstaff, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Flagstaff, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Flagstaff sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to April: Spring break road trips to the canyon and late ski days overlap, so I price spring break weeks individually and accept softer weekdays as the season turns.
Downtown and historic Route 66: Walk to breweries, restaurants and the train station; I price these homes for couples and road trippers, with one-night stays allowed most of the year. Fort Valley and the Snowbowl road and Williams and the Grand Canyon Railway 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.
Northern Arizona University calendar, Grand Canyon South Rim visitation and Route 66 and Sedona road trips are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Flagstaff. October to November: Aspen colour on the Inner Basin and cool hiking weather bring weekend couples, so I price those dates firmly and lower weekdays until ski season opens.
