Overview

What is outsourced hotel revenue management in Oklahoma City?

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 Oklahoma City: Thunder home games and Bricktown events; State Fair and conventions; Broken Bow and Beavers Bend cabins; Dallas weekend drive-up demand. Guests I price for: Event travellers in the city, Texas families on 2 to 3 night cabin stays. Where I start: Event premiums in the city, weekend cabin pricing with hot-tub positioning, and midweek floors.

With my five-star hotel background, I help Oklahoma City hotels price convention, sports and corporate segments, manage room blocks for the softball series and big tournaments, and choose a comp set that reflects downtown demand. For lodges near Broken Bow, I focus on weekend leisure rates and midweek offers.

The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Oklahoma City.

Included

What I run for a hotel on a monthly plan in Oklahoma City

Daily rates and restrictions

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.

  • BAR and rate-plan strategy by room type
  • Seasonal, event and day-of-week rules
  • Length-of-stay and minimum-stay restrictions
  • Closed-to-arrival and stop-sell logic

Distribution and OTAs

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.

  • OTA and metasearch optimization
  • Rate-parity checks and promotions
  • Segmentation across OTA, direct and corporate
  • Channel manager and PMS mapping

Forecasts and budgets

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.

  • 12-month demand forecast
  • Annual budget and re-forecast
  • Group, corporate and event rate strategy
  • Pace and displacement analysis

Reporting and strategy calls

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.

  • Monthly performance summary
  • ADR, occupancy and RevPAR reporting
  • Monthly strategy call (Pro)
  • Quarterly business review (Pro)
Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Oklahoma City

“Oklahoma City and Broken Bow share a heading but not a strategy. Oklahoma City runs on Thunder games, the State Fair and conventions, while Broken Bow is a cabin market filled by Dallas families driving up for the weekend. For cabins, the hot tub and the weekend rules decide most of the revenue.”

How I price it

My Oklahoma City calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryLow

    City homes lean on corporate and medical weekdays, while Broken Bow cabins sell fireplace weekends; I keep cabin Fridays and Saturdays above weekdays even in the coldest weeks.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Texas Spring Break sends families to Beavers Bend, so I price those weeks one by one; in the city I load Thunder playoff dates the moment the bracket confirms home games.

  3. June to AugustHigh

    The Women's College World Series fills the city in early June; cabins run full summer weekends, and I allow shorter weekday stays for river floats and lake days.

  4. September to NovemberHigh

    The State Fair, autumn conventions and foliage around Beavers Bend make this a strong stretch; I raise October cabin weekends and price fair dates up for homes near the fairgrounds.

  5. DecemberShoulder

    Bricktown holiday lights and Hochatown cabin getaways keep weekends busy; I price Christmas and New Year as dated premiums and hold midweek floors where they are.

Where I price differently in Oklahoma City

Bricktown and Midtown
Walking distance to Thunder games, the canal and the convention centre; I price game nights and big shows as dated premiums and keep weekdays level with downtown hotels.
Plaza District and Paseo Arts District
Character homes in creative neighbourhoods suit couples and festival visitors; I price for style and local feel, with weekend minimums during arts festivals.
Hochatown and Beavers Bend
The core cabin cluster for Texas families; I tier cabins by hot tub, view and sleeping capacity, and keep weekends firm against the very large supply around them.

What I check first in Oklahoma City

  • Whether a Broken Bow cabin listing leads with the hot tub, fire pit and game room in its first photos, because Dallas families shortlist on features before they compare nightly rates.
  • How many weekend nights over the next three months are booked compared with similar Hochatown cabins, since a slow pace there usually means the rate is out of line rather than demand being weak.
  • Whether the city home sits within walking distance of Bricktown, the Paycom Center or the fairgrounds, because event guests choose by distance to the venue rather than by suburb.

Who it is for

When outsourced hotel revenue management makes sense in Oklahoma City

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.

How it works

From first message to results in Oklahoma City

  1. 01

    Tell me about the hotel

    Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.

  2. 02

    I build the strategy

    I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.

  3. 03

    I price it every day

    I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.

Step 4

We review each month

You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.

Pricing

Hotel plans and prices

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.
