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 Ocean City. Ocean City and the Delaware beaches are weekly summer markets for Mid-Atlantic families, with events like Senior Week, Sunfest and the White Marlin Open adding spikes. Rehoboth and Bethany attract different guests from the Ocean City boardwalk. The season is short, so every summer week has to be priced right and opened early.
For an Ocean City or Delaware beach home, I review how each summer week is priced, what your rules say about groups and events, and how the shoulder months are being handled. Then I give you a week-by-week summer plan and an off-season approach that keeps the house earning past Labor Day.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Ocean City.
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.
I offer weekend getaways at modest rates and monthly stays for contractors and off-season workers, keeping floors high enough to cover heating and cleaning.
Springfest, the air show and early beach weekends get dated premiums; in between I allow two-night stays so the calendar does not sit empty before summer weeks begin.
Weeks sell as fixed blocks, and I price each one by its demand rather than flat, with the White Marlin Open week and the July 4th week at the top.
Sunfest, Bike Week and the Sea Witch Festival in Rehoboth anchor the autumn, so I price those weekends up and drop weekly rules for the rest.
Holiday light displays and Thanksgiving gatherings bring short stays; I keep two-night minimums and price the holiday weeks above the quiet weeks around them.
Price mid-June to August on weekly stays with fixed turnover.
Price July 4th week as the top band.
Decide deliberately how Senior Week bookings fit the property and its rules, and price or restrict them accordingly.
Add White Marlin Open and Sunfest weekends as date premiums.
Offer weekend stays and low floors outside summer.
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.

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 names its exact block or street number and its distance to the boardwalk or beach access, since families compare walking distance before anything else.
Busiest in Ocean City: Mid-June to August, with July 4th and Senior Week in June. Mid-June to August: Weeks sell as fixed blocks, and I price each one by its demand rather than flat, with the White Marlin Open week and the July 4th week at the top. 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.
Weekly summer pricing with fixed turnover, event premiums, and off-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Ocean City calendar before I make it. September to October: Sunfest, Bike Week and the Sea Witch Festival in Rehoboth anchor the autumn, so I price those weekends up and drop weekly rules for the rest.
Rehoboth and Bethany attract different guests from the Ocean City boardwalk. The season is short, so every summer week has to be priced right and opened early. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Ocean City.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Ocean City the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price July 4th week as the top band. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Ocean City sells mostly through Vrbo, Airbnb and Booking.com. Mid-June to August: Weeks sell as fixed blocks, and I price each one by its demand rather than flat, with the White Marlin Open week and the July 4th week at the top. For hotel revenue management consulting in Ocean City, 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 Ocean City, not the city. Decide deliberately how Senior Week bookings fit the property and its rules, and price or restrict them accordingly. Next: offer weekend stays and low floors outside summer.
Rehoboth and Bethany Beach: Rehoboth draws a strong Washington and Philadelphia weekend crowd with restaurants and outlets, while Bethany is family-focused; I price each against its own town. Downtown Ocean City and the boardwalk and North Ocean City and Fenwick Island get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Ocean City, not the market average.
