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 São Paulo: Corporate and conference travel; São Paulo Grand Prix; Fashion Week and Bienal; Stadium concerts. Guests I price for: Business travellers midweek and event visitors at weekends. Where I start: Corporate midweek rate cards and event premiums.
With my five-star chain experience I help São Paulo hotels and serviced apartments negotiate corporate accounts, forecast the trade-fair weeks and fence weekend leisure packages away from weekday business rates, so concerts and races lift revenue without eroding the corporate base.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in São Paulo.
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.
“São Paulo is Latin America's business capital. Weekdays are corporate, and weekends depend on events like the Grand Prix, Lollapalooza and big concerts. January and July are quieter as locals travel. The city is huge, so short travel times to business districts or event venues are often the deciding factor for guests and should be reflected in price. I keep weekend event pricing separate so corporate rates do not undersell concert and race weekends.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Paulistanos leave for the litoral and offices slow, so I lower floors, accept shorter stays and court tourists and relocating families on monthly terms.
Street Carnival now fills whole neighbourhoods and Lollapalooza takes over Interlagos, so I price those weekends as events and restore the corporate rate card the moment offices reopen.
Trade fairs at São Paulo Expo, Anhembi and Expo Center Norte fill weekdays, so I track the fair calendar and add a premium for any homes with easy access.
School holidays thin corporate travel, so I ease floors gently, open shorter leisure stays and keep a monthly offer ready for project workers.
This is the busiest business stretch, with Fashion Week, the Bienal in Ibirapuera and the Grand Prix at Interlagos in November. I hold weekday rates and lift event weeks.

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.

|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |

| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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 São Paulo: Business-travel weeks, Formula 1 in November, Carnival, and Lollapalooza Brazil in March. February to March: Street Carnival now fills whole neighbourhoods and Lollapalooza takes over Interlagos, so I price those weekends as events and restore the corporate rate card the moment offices reopen. August to December: This is the busiest business stretch, with Fashion Week, the Bienal in Ibirapuera and the Grand Prix at Interlagos in November. I hold weekday rates and lift event weeks. 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 can issue a nota fiscal or invoice and shows a proper desk, since many business guests cannot expense a stay without that paperwork.
Offer monthly rates for relocations. Next: lower January and July floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a São Paulo 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 São Paulo: January and July. January: Paulistanos leave for the litoral and offices slow, so I lower floors, accept shorter stays and court tourists and relocating families on monthly terms. April to June: Trade fairs at São Paulo Expo, Anhembi and Expo Center Norte fill weekdays, so I track the fair calendar and add a premium for any homes with easy access.
Events ignored and neighbourhoods priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in São Paulo, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in São Paulo, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. São Paulo sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. February to March: Street Carnival now fills whole neighbourhoods and Lollapalooza takes over Interlagos, so I price those weekends as events and restore the corporate rate card the moment offices reopen.
Vila Madalena: Bars, street art and live music keep weekends lively, so I price Friday and Saturday above weekdays and target visitors from other Brazilian cities. Brooklin and Berrini and Avenida Paulista and Consolação 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.
Stadium concerts, Corporate and conference travel and São Paulo Grand Prix are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in São Paulo.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in São Paulo I would start from February to March: Street Carnival now fills whole neighbourhoods and Lollapalooza takes over Interlagos, so I price those weekends as events and restore the corporate rate card the moment offices reopen.
