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 Memphis: Memphis in May and Beale Street Music Festival; Elvis Week at Graceland; Grizzlies season and FedEx corporate travel; Blues and barbecue tourism. Guests I price for: Music and cultural travellers on 2 to 3 night stays, corporate guests midweek. Where I start: Festival premiums, corporate midweek rates, and winter floors.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Memphis hotels balance convention, sports, music tourism and medical segments, set group blocks for the barbecue contest and Liberty Bowl, and use rate fences so festival weekends do not undercut the corporate weekday business.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Memphis.
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.
“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.”
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.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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 Memphis: Memphis in May, Elvis Week in August, and Grizzlies season. 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. August: 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. 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. 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.
Set weekday corporate rates for FedEx and medical travel. Next: lower January and February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Memphis 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 Memphis: January to February. January and February: 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. 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.
Homes near Graceland priced from downtown comps and weekday corporate demand ignored. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Memphis, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Memphis, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Memphis sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. January and February: 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.
Downtown and South Main: Close to Beale Street, FedExForum and the riverfront festivals; I price these for events and weekends and use midweek offers for business travel. Midtown, Cooper-Young and Overton Square and Whitehaven near Graceland 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.
Blues and barbecue tourism, Memphis in May and Beale Street Music Festival and Elvis Week at Graceland are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Memphis. 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.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Memphis I would start from August: 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.
