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 Little Rock: Hot Springs National Park and Bathhouse Row; Oaklawn racing and the Arkansas Derby; The Clinton Presidential Library; Lake Hamilton and Garvan Woodland Gardens. Guests I price for: Regional couples and racing fans on 2 to 3 night stays around downtown Hot Springs, Lake Hamilton and Little Rock's River Market. Where I start: Racing-season premiums through the Oaklawn meet, spa-town weekend minimums, and lake-house rate cards for the warmer months.
For Hot Springs hotels and Little Rock properties I work on racing-season rate fences, spa packages, government and medical travel rates midweek, and group blocks for festivals. My comp sets keep Central Avenue historic hotels apart from lakeside resorts and Little Rock business hotels.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Little Rock.
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.
“Hot Springs revolves around Oaklawn racing, which peaks in spring with the Arkansas Derby, and the national park's spa town. Lake Hamilton adds summer lake houses, while Little Rock brings business and Clinton Library visitors. After the Oaklawn meet ends, demand softens.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The Oaklawn meet is already running, so Friday to Sunday racing weekends carry Hot Springs. I price them steadily and keep weekdays low for spa-town couples.
The Bridge Street St. Patrick's Day parade and Arkansas Derby weekend are the year's top dates. I price both early with two-night minimums and keep rates firm until race week.
Racing ends and Lake Hamilton takes over. I move lake-house rates up for summer weekends and soften downtown Hot Springs homes as the track crowd leaves.
Heat and school schedules slow leisure trips. I lower floors, allow single nights and focus on Little Rock business travel and visiting families.
The Documentary Film Festival and autumn colour lift October, and Garvan Woodland Gardens holiday lights fill December evenings. I price those weekends up and keep the rest moderate.
Price the Oaklawn meet, with Arkansas Derby weekend highest.
Use 2-night weekend minimums in spa-town homes.
Price Lake Hamilton homes for summer with lakefront premiums.
Set weekday rates for Little Rock business travel.

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. 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 Little Rock: March to May for the Oaklawn racing finale and Arkansas Derby, with pleasant spring and autumn weekends around the national park. January to February: The Oaklawn meet is already running, so Friday to Sunday racing weekends carry Hot Springs. I price them steadily and keep weekdays low for spa-town couples. March to April: The Bridge Street St. Patrick's Day parade and Arkansas Derby weekend are the year's top dates. I price both early with two-night minimums and keep rates firm until race 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. How far it is from Oaklawn and Bathhouse Row in minutes and whether parking is available on race days, since racing guests weigh access above amenities.
Price Lake Hamilton homes for summer with lakefront premiums. Next: lower August floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Little Rock 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 Little Rock: August, after the Oaklawn meet ends. May to July: Racing ends and Lake Hamilton takes over. I move lake-house rates up for summer weekends and soften downtown Hot Springs homes as the track crowd leaves. August to September: Heat and school schedules slow leisure trips. I lower floors, allow single nights and focus on Little Rock business travel and visiting families.
Lake homes priced like town homes and post-meet months priced like racing season. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Little Rock, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Little Rock, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Little Rock sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to April: The Bridge Street St. Patrick's Day parade and Arkansas Derby weekend are the year's top dates. I price both early with two-night minimums and keep rates firm until race week.
Downtown Hot Springs and Bathhouse Row: Walk to the bathhouses, Central Avenue restaurants and the parade. I price these homes highest in racing season and use two-night weekends from February to April. Lake Hamilton and Little Rock River Market and Hillcrest 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.
Lake Hamilton and Garvan Woodland Gardens, Hot Springs National Park and Bathhouse Row and Oaklawn racing and the Arkansas Derby are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Little Rock. October to December: The Documentary Film Festival and autumn colour lift October, and Garvan Woodland Gardens holiday lights fill December evenings. I price those weekends up and keep the rest moderate.
