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 Sarasota. Sarasota, Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island are winter snowbird markets with a second summer family season. Snowbirds book months, sometimes the same homes every year, while summer families book weeks. Hurricane seasons have also affected the area in recent years. I compare monthly winter revenue with short-stay revenue before accepting long bookings.
For Sarasota, Siesta Key and Anna Maria owners I review how your home balances snowbird months, spring peaks and summer families. I set monthly, weekly and nightly pricing, check local rules and build a plan for hurricane season so the year does not depend only on winter.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Sarasota.
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.
Snowbirds and northern families arrive, and I price monthly stays against short-stay revenue, keeping the best weeks for higher-value bookings around holidays and events.
Spring Training for the Orioles in Sarasota, the Pirates in Bradenton and the Braves in North Port, plus spring break and Easter, make this the top period of the year.
Snowbirds leave and summer families have not arrived, so I shorten minimums, target couples and offer weekday discounts while keeping weekends near spring levels.
Southeast families book weekly beach stays; I use Saturday-to-Saturday weeks where that is the local pattern and keep a weekly discount to fill full weeks.
Hurricane season and school return slow demand, so I lower floors, add flexible cancellation and price shorter stays to catch local and Florida visitors.
Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks lift sharply, so I price them as holiday bands and open monthly stays for the coming snowbird season.
Price each winter month separately, with March and Easter highest.
Compare monthly snowbird offers with short-stay revenue for the same dates.
Run summer on weekly stays for families.
Price Siesta Key and Anna Maria homes by beach access.
Lower September and October floors with flexible cancellation.
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. How the listing shows beach access, walking distance and beach equipment, since snowbirds and families both compare these features before price.
Busiest in Sarasota: January to April, with Spring Break and Easter the highest, and a summer family season. June to August: Southeast families book weekly beach stays; I use Saturday-to-Saturday weeks where that is the local pattern and keep a weekly discount to fill full weeks. January to February: Snowbirds and northern families arrive, and I price monthly stays against short-stay revenue, keeping the best weeks for higher-value bookings around holidays and events. 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.
Monthly winter rate cards, weekly summer pricing, and hurricane-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Sarasota calendar before I make it.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Sarasota the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: compare monthly snowbird offers with short-stay revenue for the same dates. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
