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 Gotland: Almedalen Week political festival; Medieval Week in Visby; Beaches and cycling; Swedish summer holidays. Guests I price for: Swedish families on weekly stays and festival guests on 3 to 7 nights. Where I start: Event-week premiums, short-season pricing and ferry-dependent minimum stays.
For Visby hotels I work on group and organisation contracts for Almedalen, length-of-stay rules for Medieval Week, and a sensible approach to the long quiet season, including whether conferences can fill autumn. I bring experience from years in hotel revenue, where event weeks were planned a full year before the doors opened.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Gotland.
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 for a Visby hotel is decided in a handful of weeks, and I run the calendar with that in mind. Almedalen and Medieval Week need their own rules, group contracts and deposits, while July depends on Swedish family holidays and ferry capacity. Outside summer I work on conferences, weekend breaks and deciding whether rooms should close for parts of the winter.
My first task is reading how Almedalen and Medieval Week sold last time, by booking date and source, to see where rooms went too early.
Visby has a little life from weekend visitors and business trips, but the countryside sleeps; I keep only town apartments open with short stays and leave rural cottages closed until Easter.
Spring cyclists, Ascension and Whitsun weekends and graduation season on the mainland bring short trips, so I sell weekends and three-night stays and keep summer weeks unbroken.
Cobbled lanes, ruins and the busiest weeks of the year make this the price leader; noise, steep streets and no parking need to be stated plainly in each listing.
My full Gotland calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Gotland.
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!

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 Gotland: July and August, with Almedalen Week and Medieval Week the highest. Almedalen week: Organisations book whole houses for the political week near the harbour and Almedalen park; I set a dedicated rate and stay rule, and prefer one clean booking over several fragmented ones. July: Swedish industrial holiday weeks and families from Stockholm keep demand high, so I hold weekly stays on cottages and check ferry availability before pushing any rate higher. 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 Almedalen dates were handled last time: whether the house went to an organisation early, at what price, and whether the same contact wants it again, since repeat event bookers are valuable.
Price homes inside the Visby wall above the rest of the island. Next: set lower floors from late August, when Swedish schools restart. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Gotland 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 Gotland: October to April. January to April: Visby has a little life from weekend visitors and business trips, but the countryside sleeps; I keep only town apartments open with short stays and leave rural cottages closed until Easter. May to mid-June: Spring cyclists, Ascension and Whitsun weekends and graduation season on the mainland bring short trips, so I sell weekends and three-night stays and keep summer weeks unbroken.
Minimum stays that ignore when guests can get a ferry and one rate for Visby inner town and countryside cottages. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Gotland, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Gotland, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Gotland sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and local agencies. January to April: Visby has a little life from weekend visitors and business trips, but the countryside sleeps; I keep only town apartments open with short stays and leave rural cottages closed until Easter.
Visby inside the wall: Cobbled lanes, ruins and the busiest weeks of the year make this the price leader; noise, steep streets and no parking need to be stated plainly in each listing. Fårö and Tofta and the west coast 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.
Swedish summer holidays, Almedalen Week political festival and Medieval Week in Visby are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Gotland. July: Swedish industrial holiday weeks and families from Stockholm keep demand high, so I hold weekly stays on cottages and check ferry availability before pushing any rate higher.

Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: open Almedalen dates early for organisations that book whole houses.
