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 Lake Norman: Summer boating and lake life; NASCAR race weeks and race-team industry travel; Charlotte weekend escapes; Davidson College events. Guests I price for: Charlotte-area families and groups on summer weekends, race fans, and corporate visitors on weekday stays. Where I start: Summer and race-week premiums, weekday corporate rates, and winter floors.
Hotels around Lake Norman live on corporate weekdays, race weeks and summer leisure, mostly along the I-77 exits. Drawing on my five-star hotel revenue work, I help set negotiated rates for local employers, length-of-stay controls for Coca-Cola 600 week and a comp set that splits lakefront product from interstate business hotels.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Norman.
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 Lake Norman hotel means balancing weekday corporate demand from Mooresville and Huntersville with summer leisure, race weeks at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Davidson College events. I set rates and restrictions for each pattern, protect peak race and summer dates, and keep weekday corporate business steady without letting it take the best weekend inventory.
My first step is building a calendar with race weeks, Davidson dates and corporate peaks, then setting group and stay controls around them.
I quote 30-night totals for relocating professionals and motorsport staff between seasons, and keep weekend floors modest because few leisure guests come for a cold lake.
Weekends warm up slowly; I lift Easter and Charlotte school spring breaks, and price the spring four-wide drag racing weekend at zMAX Dragway for homes near I-77.
Home to race shops and Lowe's corporate offices, with large waterfront homes on the peninsula; I price weekdays for motorsport and corporate visitors and weekends for boating groups.
My full Lake Norman calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Lake Norman.
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.

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 Lake Norman: May to September, with NASCAR race weeks at Charlotte Motor Speedway. May: Davidson commencement and the run-up to Memorial Day race week make May the busiest month for event pricing, so I set those dates before anything else and keep minimums on race weekend only. June to August: Charlotte families fill weekends with boating and Lake Norman State Park, so I hold Saturday rates, let Sunday nights go cheaper to stretch stays and sell Fourth of July as a full week. 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. Whether the pier and boat lift sit within Duke Energy's shoreline rules and how deep the water is at the end of the pier, since boaters ask about depth before they ask about price.
Price waterfront homes with a pier by cove depth and how quickly a boat reaches open water. Next: price the autumn ROVAL race weekend at the Speedway as a second motorsport peak. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Lake Norman 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 Lake Norman: December to February. December to February: I quote 30-night totals for relocating professionals and motorsport staff between seasons, and keep weekend floors modest because few leisure guests come for a cold lake. March to April: Weekends warm up slowly; I lift Easter and Charlotte school spring breaks, and price the spring four-wide drag racing weekend at zMAX Dragway for homes near I-77.
Charging the same race premium on the far western shore as in Huntersville, which is much closer to Concord and listing a waterfront home without explaining pier rules, boat lift access and water depth. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Lake Norman, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Lake Norman, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Lake Norman sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to April: Weekends warm up slowly; I lift Easter and Charlotte school spring breaks, and price the spring four-wide drag racing weekend at zMAX Dragway for homes near I-77.
Mooresville: Home to race shops and Lowe's corporate offices, with large waterfront homes on the peninsula; I price weekdays for motorsport and corporate visitors and weekends for boating groups. Cornelius and Davidson and Huntersville and the southern shore 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.
Davidson College events, Summer boating and lake life and NASCAR race weeks and race-team industry travel are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Lake Norman. September to November: Warm water lasts into September, corporate travel returns and the autumn race in Concord gives October a peak; I price weekdays for business and step weekends down after mid-October.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Lake Norman and work remotely in Eastern Time (UTC-5). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: keep weekday rates firm in Mooresville and Cornelius for motorsport and corporate visitors instead of discounting to fill.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Lake Norman I would start from May: Davidson commencement and the run-up to Memorial Day race week make May the busiest month for event pricing, so I set those dates before anything else and keep minimums on race weekend only.
