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 Norman. Norman is a Sooners town first. Home Saturdays at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium carry the year, and the move to the SEC has brought a new mix of visiting fan bases. Commencement in May, the Medieval Fair and the Norman Music Festival add spring weekends, and the Women's College World Series up the road in Oklahoma City fills early June. December to February and July are slow. I tier games by opponent and keep winter floors honest.
For a Norman owner I begin with the Sooners schedule and the opponents' travelling support, then build the quieter months around Oklahoma City events, research visitors and summer stays. We agree bands, minimum stays and floors together, and I show you how to judge a Tuesday booking from a visiting scientist against holding the date for a weekend.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Norman.
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.
In a Norman hotel review I look first at football discipline: whether rates and stay restrictions matched the size of each opponent, or whether the hotel sold every home Saturday the same way. Then I check how weekday university and research business is priced, how the property handles the quiet winter and July, and whether the comp set reflects both campus and I-35 hotels.
I would start by ranking last season's home games by demand and setting the hotel's actual rates beside that list, which usually shows the gaps quickly.
Spring brings the Medieval Fair, the music festival, campus visits and commencement, so I price each of those weekends on its own and hold storm-season cancellation terms clearly in the listing.
The Women's College World Series runs in Oklahoma City, and I lift the full tournament window when the Sooners are playing, with shorter minimums because fans follow the bracket day by day.
Walkable to bars, the Norman Music Festival and a quick ride to campus; I price these for couples and groups who want nightlife as much as football.
My full Norman calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Norman.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. 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 scoping chat 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!

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 deals with storm season properly, with a clear note on shelter or safe rooms and a sensible cancellation policy, since spring travellers in Oklahoma ask about it before booking.
Busiest in Norman: Oklahoma Sooners home football weekends in the autumn, plus graduation in May and the Women's College World Series in nearby Oklahoma City in June. Late August to November: Move-in weekend then football: I price each home Saturday from the opponent's travelling support, keep away weekends near base and keep watch for Thanksgiving week when the schedule ends at home. March to May: Spring brings the Medieval Fair, the music festival, campus visits and commencement, so I price each of those weekends on its own and hold storm-season cancellation terms clearly in the listing. 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.
Opponent-tiered game pricing, graduation premiums, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Norman calendar before I make it. July to mid-August: Heat and a quiet campus make this the softest summer stretch, so I welcome single nights, lean on Lake Thunderbird visitors and quote weekly rates for interns and new staff.
I tier games by opponent and keep winter floors honest. Norman is a Sooners town first. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Norman.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Norman the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: leave the Texas weekend at normal rates, since the Red River Rivalry is played in Dallas, not in Norman. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Norman sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. June: The Women's College World Series runs in Oklahoma City, and I lift the full tournament window when the Sooners are playing, with shorter minimums because fans follow the bracket day by day. For hotel revenue management consulting in Norman, 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 Norman, not the city. Lift the Women's College World Series dates in early June, especially when OU is in the field. Next: use 2-night minimums on game weekends and allow single nights in July.
East Norman near Lake Thunderbird: Larger homes with land suit family reunions and lake weekends, so I market them for space in spring and summer and keep football premiums lighter because of the drive. Campus Corner and the university core and Downtown Norman and Main Street get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Norman, not the market average.
