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 The New Forest: Bournemouth Air Festival over the seafront each late summer; the free-roaming ponies and ancient woodland of the New Forest; Beaulieu National Motor Museum and Buckler's Hard; the beaches of Bournemouth, Sandbanks and Lymington's yachting harbour. Guests I price for: Families and couples splitting time between forest cottages around Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst and beach flats in Bournemouth and Poole. Where I start: Running two linked demand curves, a rural New Forest cottage rate and an urban beach rate, and stacking air-festival and school-holiday premiums onto the coast.
For New Forest country-house hotels and Bournemouth seafront properties I work on weekend packages, conference and wedding business, and event rate fences for the air festival and the New Forest Show, using my five-star chain hotel experience to balance leisure and group demand.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in The New Forest.
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.
“The New Forest and Bournemouth sit side by side but sell different stays. Forest cottages sell calm and ponies, Bournemouth sells beaches and the Air Festival in late summer. I run two linked curves and stack school-holiday and air-festival premiums on the coast.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Forest cottages attract walkers and couples on winter breaks, while beach flats go very quiet, so I keep the two calendars separate and price forest weekends more confidently.
Easter, the May bank holidays and the first warm weekends bring families to the coast, so I lift those dates and keep midweek forest breaks available for walkers and cyclists.
School holidays fill both areas, and the New Forest Show near Brockenhurst lifts late July, so I sell full weeks on the coast and price show week up in the forest.
The Bournemouth Air Festival packs the seafront, so I price beach flats near the pier and the East Cliff for that weekend and keep forest cottages on normal late-summer rates.
Autumn colour draws walkers into the forest, and Christmas breaks fill larger cottages, so I offer short stays and price the holiday weeks as fixed blocks.
Price Bournemouth Air Festival weekend as a coastal premium.
Use weekly summer stays for beach flats.
Price New Forest cottages on their own comps.
Offer short breaks in the forest year-round.
Lower December to 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.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.

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!

Busiest in The New Forest: July and August for the beaches, with a September spike around the Bournemouth Air Festival. July to August: School holidays fill both areas, and the New Forest Show near Brockenhurst lifts late July, so I sell full weeks on the coast and price show week up in the forest. Late August to September: The Bournemouth Air Festival packs the seafront, so I price beach flats near the pier and the East Cliff for that weekend and keep forest cottages on normal late-summer rates. 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 the listing explains ponies, cattle and cycle routes in the forest, since guests value this information and it shapes expectations about driving and parking.
Price New Forest cottages on their own comps. Next: lower December to February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a The New Forest 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 The New Forest: December to February. January to March: Forest cottages attract walkers and couples on winter breaks, while beach flats go very quiet, so I keep the two calendars separate and price forest weekends more confidently. April to June: Easter, the May bank holidays and the first warm weekends bring families to the coast, so I lift those dates and keep midweek forest breaks available for walkers and cyclists.
Air Festival ignored and winter forest breaks not offered. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in The New Forest, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in The New Forest, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. The New Forest sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. April to June: Easter, the May bank holidays and the first warm weekends bring families to the coast, so I lift those dates and keep midweek forest breaks available for walkers and cyclists.
Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst: The heart of the forest, with the railway and walking routes on the doorstep, so I price for couples and families on short breaks year-round. Bournemouth seafront and Boscombe and Lymington and Beaulieu 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.
the beaches of Bournemouth, Sandbanks and Lymington's yachting harbour, Bournemouth Air Festival over the seafront each late summer and the free-roaming ponies and ancient woodland of the New Forest are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in The New Forest. October to December: Autumn colour draws walkers into the forest, and Christmas breaks fill larger cottages, so I offer short stays and price the holiday weeks as fixed blocks.
