“Helen is a small Bavarian-themed town with one very long peak: Oktoberfest, which runs for weeks in September and October. Summer tubing on the Chattahoochee is the other big season. Demand is intensely concentrated on weekends. I price Oktoberfest weekends aggressively and keep summer and winter realistic.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Helen books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price Oktoberfest weekends as the top band, with 2-night minimums.
Price summer tubing weekends above spring and autumn weekdays.
Add foliage weekends as premiums.
Discount weekdays and allow short stays.
Lower January and February floors.

Winter is quiet, so I lower floors, allow single nights midweek and lift Valentine's weekend for Atlanta couples looking for a cabin and a fireplace.
Spring weekends and waterfalls bring hikers back; I raise weekends gradually and offer midweek discounts for retirees and remote workers.
Tubing season fills weekends near the river; I price Saturdays above spring and keep weekdays lower for families on short summer breaks.
Oktoberfest weekends and early foliage overlap, so I open these dates early, set firm minimum stays and price Thursday nights higher than usual.
After Oktoberfest ends, I step floors down and lift the holiday lighting weekends and Christmas week moderately for families.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Helen needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
If you own a cabin or chalet around Helen, I review how Oktoberfest, tubing weekends and the soft winter are priced, check your position against the right village and mountain comps, and build a plan with you that earns from every season.
For Helen hosts I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with you: Oktoberfest weekends loaded early as the top band, summer tubing weekend rules, a midweek discount for retirees and sensible winter floors, with consistent settings on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com.
Helen's motels and inns sell the same Oktoberfest weekends as every cabin. With my five-star hotel revenue background, I help set event controls, packages with wineries and summer tubing outfitters, and winter offers that keep the property earning outside the festival.

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!
Airbnb host
As the top period of the year, especially weekends, with 2-night minimums. Alaa opens those dates early.
Yes, tubing on the Chattahoochee brings strong summer weekends. Alaa prices them above other seasons.
Yes, the wineries around Sautee Nacoochee and Yonah Mountain draw Atlanta couples year-round. I price winery weekends as steady, not peak, and mention the tasting rooms in listings outside the village, so couples searching for a wine weekend find the cabin even when Oktoberfest is not on.
Only if the home is set up for them and the house rules are clear. Groups often book early for whole weekends, which helps, but I price them at full festival rates, set guest limits and require a security deposit, so one rowdy weekend does not cost reviews for the rest of the year.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Helen, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Eastern Time (UTC-5).
