“Saugatuck is a compact summer and arts market, busy from May to October with Oval Beach, galleries and colour tours. Chicago couples and groups fill weekends. After October, the town winds down. I price a short season firmly and use monthly winter rates.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.

Offer monthly winter rates.

The galleries and restaurants close or slow down, so I market cosy monthly stays and winter weekends for couples, keeping rates modest rather than leaving the house empty.
Tulip Time in nearby Holland and the first warm weekends bring early visitors; I open Memorial Day weekend at a premium and lift Saturdays gradually.
Chicago weekenders fill every Friday and Saturday; I protect July 4 and Labor Day with longer minimums and price walkable homes near Oval Beach highest.
Apple harvest in Fennville, wine trail weekends and October colour keep weekends strong, so I keep weekend rates firm and offer weekday deals.
After the colour ends, I shorten minimums and price holiday weekends moderately, then switch to monthly rates for winter.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Saugatuck needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Saugatuck owners I review how your short season is priced and whether winter has a plan. I set summer weekends, holiday dates and autumn colour pricing, check the local rules for your address and leave you with a calendar that makes the most of a compressed year.
I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with summer weekend minimums, holiday weekends priced highest and October colour weekends as premiums. Winter moves to monthly pricing for remote workers and people renovating nearby, and Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com share one set of rates.
Saugatuck inns and small hotels depend on summer weekends and Chicago demand. My hotel background helps with weekend length-of-stay controls, wedding and group pricing, and a comp set divided between downtown inns, Douglas properties and lakeshore resorts, with the short season priced to carry the quiet winter months.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. 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!
Airbnb host
June to August, plus October colour weekends. Alaa prices both.
Monthly stays at lower rates. Alaa builds a winter rate card.
Some do, especially couples who prefer a quieter base. Tulip Time in May brings large crowds to Holland, and nearby Saugatuck homes benefit from overflow. I add a modest premium on those weekends and keep minimum stays short, since many visitors plan only one or two nights.
Saugatuck and Douglas have long welcomed LGBTQ visitors, which supports strong summer weekends. I price based on the same seasonal demand, highlight welcoming policies and local events in the listing and make sure group-friendly homes are priced for friend groups rather than only families.
