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 Portland, Maine. Coastal Maine has a short, intense summer and a strong foliage season, then a long quiet stretch. Acadia National Park drives Bar Harbor, while Portland mixes food tourism with cruise calls. Because the season is short, every July, August and October week matters. I price those weeks firmly and use the off-season for longer, cheaper stays.
For a Maine coast owner, I review local compliance, compare the home with similar ones in its own town, and build a calendar that prices summer and foliage firmly while making the long off-season work. You get a clear plan for each season, including how far ahead to open summer.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Portland, Maine.
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.

Portland's restaurant scene keeps city weekends alive while much of Mount Desert Island closes; I sell monthly stays and modest weekend rates rather than discounting every night.
The Park Loop Road and island businesses reopen; I raise weekends first and keep shorter stays until school holidays start in late June.
Acadia visitors, the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland and Windjammer Days fill the coast; I price each week from its own pace and never release peak dates cheaply.
Foliage and couples' trips keep demand strong after Labor Day; I price October weekends highest and lower midweek nights once the colour has passed.
Price July and August firmly with 3 to 7-night minimums near Acadia.
Give October foliage weeks their own premium.
Price Portland homes for weekend food and culture visitors outside peak summer.
Offer monthly stays from November to April.
Watch cruise-call days in Bar Harbor and Portland for short-stay demand.
