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 Memphis. Memphis sells music, history and barbecue. Elvis Week at Graceland in August is one of the most predictable peaks in the country, Memphis in May brings spring visitors, and FedEx and medical travel support weekdays. Beale Street and Midtown homes attract different guests from those near Graceland.
For a Memphis owner I check the permit and neighbourhood first, then match the home to its best guest and build a calendar around the city's event dates, medical stays and weekday business travel, so every season has a clear plan instead of one flat rate.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Memphis.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Elvis's birthday celebration at Graceland and the International Blues Challenge on Beale Street give a few strong nights, which I price individually above a lean winter floor.
Spring weather brings weekend visitors and Grizzlies games, so I lift Friday and Saturday modestly and keep weekday rates aimed at medical and corporate stays.
Beale Street Music Festival and the barbecue contest in Tom Lee Park fill downtown, so I put two or three night minimums on those weekends and price midweek between them separately.
Heat slows leisure visits, so I lean on families attending St. Jude and travel nurses, offer weekly stays and keep weekend rates realistic.
Elvis Week turns Whitehaven into the top market in the city, while downtown sees a smaller lift, so I price each area on its own instead of one August rule.
The Southern Heritage Classic, Cooper-Young Festival, Grizzlies season, the St. Jude Marathon and the Liberty Bowl give a long run of event dates, which I load one by one.
Price Elvis Week in August as a top band for homes near Graceland.
Add Memphis in May events as spring premiums.
Set weekday corporate rates for FedEx and medical travel.
Add Grizzlies home games for homes near downtown.
Lower January and February floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether the listing shows parking and safety information clearly, since visitors to downtown and Midtown read these before booking and a vague description costs conversions.
Busiest in Memphis: Memphis in May, Elvis Week in August, and Grizzlies season. September to December: The Southern Heritage Classic, Cooper-Young Festival, Grizzlies season, the St. Jude Marathon and the Liberty Bowl give a long run of event dates, which I load one by one. May: Beale Street Music Festival and the barbecue contest in Tom Lee Park fill downtown, so I put two or three night minimums on those weekends and price midweek between them separately. 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.
Festival premiums, corporate midweek rates, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Memphis calendar before I make it. June and July: Heat slows leisure visits, so I lean on families attending St. Jude and travel nurses, offer weekly stays and keep weekend rates realistic.
Elvis Week at Graceland in August is one of the most predictable peaks in the country, Memphis in May brings spring visitors, and FedEx and medical travel support weekdays. Beale Street and Midtown homes attract different guests from those near Graceland. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Memphis.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Memphis the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Memphis in May events as spring premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Memphis sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March and April: Spring weather brings weekend visitors and Grizzlies games, so I lift Friday and Saturday modestly and keep weekday rates aimed at medical and corporate stays. For hotel revenue management consulting in Memphis, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Memphis, not the city. Set weekday corporate rates for FedEx and medical travel. Next: lower January and February floors.
Whitehaven near Graceland: Elvis Week and January's birthday celebration make these homes event-driven; I hold them at a premium for those dates and price the rest for value. Downtown and South Main and Midtown, Cooper-Young and Overton Square get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Memphis, not the market average.
