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 Île de Ré: Île de Ré villages, beaches and cycling; La Rochelle old port and aquarium; Francofolies music festival; Parisian second homes and school holidays. Guests I price for: French families and Parisian couples on weekly summer stays and long weekends. Where I start: Peak weekly pricing, festival premiums and La Rochelle's short-term rental registration rules.
For hotels in La Rochelle or on the island I plan around events, rugby and business travel in the city, and short-season leisure on the island, drawing on my years running revenue in hotels where events and leisure needed different controls.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Île de Ré.
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.
Running revenue for a hotel in La Rochelle means working with a real city calendar: Francofolies in July, the film festival before it, the Grand Pavois in September, Stade Rochelais home matches and steady business and university demand. On Île de Ré, hotels face a short, intense season. I set different rules for each, using events in the city and weekly patterns on the island.
My first task is to load every Stade Rochelais home fixture and festival date into the forecast, then compare last year's rates on those nights with ordinary weekends.
The island is quiet and many homes close, while La Rochelle keeps business, students and rugby weekends. I set city weekday floors for work travel and keep island weekends modest.
Easter, the May bridges and the La Rochelle film festival bring Parisians and couples. I price long weekends strongly on the island and events in the city.
The island's main town, with Vauban fortifications and the harbour. I price highest here and hold weekly stays all summer.
My full Île de Ré calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Île de Ré.
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.

| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | From $900/mo |

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 Île de Ré: July and August, with Francofolies festival in La Rochelle in July. July: Francofolies fills La Rochelle and the island fills with families. I raise city rates for the festival and hold weekly stays across the island. August: Every island village is full, and the bridge toll and traffic do not deter guests. I keep weekly minimums and resist late discounts, which rarely help here. 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. Bike storage and cycling access on the island, because most guests arrive by car but spend the week on two wheels, and secure storage is a feature worth showing.
Add Stade Rochelais home matches and the Grand Pavois to the city calendar. Next: open long weekends for Parisians from Easter to October. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Île de Ré 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 Île de Ré: November to February. November to February: The island is quiet and many homes close, while La Rochelle keeps business, students and rugby weekends. I set city weekday floors for work travel and keep island weekends modest. March to June: Easter, the May bridges and the La Rochelle film festival bring Parisians and couples. I price long weekends strongly on the island and events in the city.
Rugby weekends ignored in La Rochelle and short stays allowed in peak island weeks. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Île de Ré, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Île de Ré, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Île de Ré sells mostly through Abritel/Vrbo, Airbnb and Booking.com. March to June: Easter, the May bridges and the La Rochelle film festival bring Parisians and couples. I price long weekends strongly on the island and events in the city.
Saint-Martin-de-Ré: The island's main town, with Vauban fortifications and the harbour. I price highest here and hold weekly stays all summer. Ars-en-Ré and the north of the island and La Rochelle old port and Les Minimes 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.
Parisian second homes and school holidays, Île de Ré villages, beaches and cycling and La Rochelle old port and aquarium are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Île de Ré. September to October: The Grand Pavois boat show and Jazz Entre les Deux Tours bring visitors to La Rochelle, and the island draws cyclists. I keep weekend rates firm and offer midweek breaks.
