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 Manchester, Vermont. Manchester and Southern Vermont sell foliage, skiing and shopping. October is the top month, Stratton and Bromley fill winter weekends, and outlet shopping adds holiday weekends. Guests come from New York and Boston for short stays. Mud season and early November are the weak points.
For a Southern Vermont owner I review the year as three short peaks, foliage, ski and summer, with retail weekends between them, then check road access, tax and registration, and set a plan that keeps midweeks and mud season from wiping out what the weekends earn.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Manchester, Vermont.
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.

Stratton and Bromley carry the weekends, so I keep Friday and Saturday priced up, set Presidents' week as a premium block and offer midweek ski rates to fill Sunday to Thursday.
Mud season is quiet and roads can be rough, so I drop the floor, allow single nights and invite outlet shoppers and fly anglers rather than leaving the calendar dark.
The Dorset and Weston theatre seasons, the Battenkill and Hildene's gardens bring summer weekenders, so I hold weekend rates and add value-priced longer stays for families.
Peak colour weekends sell first, so I open them early with two or three night minimums and keep the weeks before and after at their own premium, not a lower summer rate.
Thanksgiving and holiday shopping weekends in Manchester Center earn a premium while the weekdays stay quiet, so I price those weekends individually.
Holiday ski weeks are the strongest nights of winter; I set four or five night minimums and open them as soon as summer bookings settle.
Price October foliage weekends as the top band.
