Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Lincoln. Lincoln is a Husker town. Seven or so Saturdays at Memorial Stadium decide the autumn, and the sellout tradition means demand is reliable even in a losing season, though a marquee Big Ten opponent still matters. Volleyball at the Devaney Center, May graduation and the Unicameral session add steady demand. July and winter are quiet. I tier game weekends by opponent, protect 2-night minimums and keep weekday floors sensible for government travellers.
With a Lincoln owner I sit down with the Husker football and volleyball schedules and rank every home date. Then we agree tiers, minimum stays and when to release unsold game nights, and set a summer plan that does not leave July empty. It is a short list of rules that carries the whole year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lincoln.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.
When I review a Lincoln property, I usually find football weekends sold at one flat premium regardless of the opponent, and team or band blocks released too late to resell. I also look at how the hotel prices July, when campus is empty, and whether Haymarket hotels are benchmarked against interstate properties near the airport that serve a different guest.
I hand over a game-by-game pricing tier sheet, revised block release dates and a summer plan aimed at camps, youth sports and state government travel.
Commencement weekend and the Lincoln Marathon fill the city in quick succession; I price both with two-night minimums and keep the weeks between them close to normal.
With students away, I target summer camps, youth tournaments and families visiting relatives, and I relax minimum stays from mid-June until move-in weekend at the end of August.
Older family houses a short drive from campus; I sell them to alumni groups and visiting parents who want space and character over walkability.
My full Lincoln calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Lincoln.
Performance has flattened

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether the calendar opens far enough ahead, since alumni and season-ticket families plan around the schedule months before kickoff and book the best homes long before game week.
Busiest in Lincoln: September to November Nebraska Cornhuskers home football weekends, plus May graduation. May: Commencement weekend and the Lincoln Marathon fill the city in quick succession; I price both with two-night minimums and keep the weeks between them close to normal. September to November: Each home football Saturday gets its own tier, set when the schedule comes out; volleyball weekends at the Devaney Center and parents' weekend sit just below the game weekends. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
