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 Norman: Oklahoma Sooners football at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium; University of Oklahoma graduation and campus events; Lake Thunderbird recreation; Oklahoma City event spillover. Guests I price for: Sooners fans and alumni on game weekends, university families, and Oklahoma City event visitors. Where I start: Opponent-tiered game pricing, graduation premiums, and winter floors.
Norman hotels depend on football weekends, graduation and university business, with Oklahoma City events adding overflow. With my five-star revenue background I help set game-day packages and restrictions, negotiate university and research park rates for weekdays, and build a comp set that reflects both the campus hotels and the I-35 corridor.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Norman.
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.
Running revenue for a Norman hotel means living by the Sooners schedule. Home Saturdays sell out every room near campus and along I-35, commencement and the spring festivals add a second layer, and the National Weather Center, the research park and university departments bring weekday business. I handle game-day restrictions, negotiated university rates and the overflow that Oklahoma City events push south.
My first step is building a forecast from the home schedule, ranked by the visiting team's travelling support, alongside commencement and the Women's College World Series dates.
With students away and football over, I drop floors, open monthly rates for visiting scientists and contractors, and lift only the dates of big Sooners basketball games at the Lloyd Noble Center.
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 most valuable game-day location in town, so I sell Saturdays at strong rates with two-night stays and price weekdays for visiting parents and faculty instead of fans.
My full Norman calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Norman.
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. Prices below are for a hotel of up to 20 rooms; larger hotels move up the size bands on the hotel plans page. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel Pricing Strategy Setup | One-time, done first: market, comp set, room types and rates turned into your strategy | From $750 |
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | From $900/mo |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | From $1,150/mo |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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!

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. 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. 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 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 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.
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. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Norman 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 Norman: December to February and July. 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. December to February: With students away and football over, I drop floors, open monthly rates for visiting scientists and contractors, and lift only the dates of big Sooners basketball games at the Lloyd Noble Center.
July and winter weekends priced like spring and homes near Lake Thunderbird marketed only to football fans. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Norman, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Norman, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Norman sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. 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.
Campus Corner and the university core: The most valuable game-day location in town, so I sell Saturdays at strong rates with two-night stays and price weekdays for visiting parents and faculty instead of fans. Downtown Norman and Main Street and East Norman near Lake Thunderbird 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.
Oklahoma City event spillover, Oklahoma Sooners football at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and University of Oklahoma graduation and campus events are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Norman. 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.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Norman and work remotely in Central Time (UTC-6). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: leave the Texas weekend at normal rates, since the Red River Rivalry is played in Dallas, not in Norman.
Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. 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 Norman I would start from 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. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Norman.
