Overview

What is outsourced hotel revenue management in Savannah?

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 Savannah: St. Patrick's Day festival; Historic District and SCAD events; Wedding travel; Tybee Island beach season. Guests I price for: Couples and small groups on 2 to 4 night stays in the Historic District, families on Tybee in summer. Where I start: St. Patrick's premiums with minimum stays, historic-district positioning under the city's STVR zones, and beach seasonality on Tybee.

Savannah hotels compete for weddings, leisure couples and festival crowds. My five-star hotel background helps with wedding block pricing, event-week length-of-stay controls and a comp set divided between River Street, the squares, the Midtown corridor and Tybee, so rates match how guests really choose between them.

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

Included

What I run for a hotel on a monthly plan in Savannah

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 Savannah

“Savannah has one of the biggest St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the country, and it is the single most important pricing weekend of the year. Outside it, the Historic District sells to couples and small groups, while Tybee Island runs on summer families. The city's short-term vacation rental zones and caps also shape where supply can grow, which keeps well-located permitted homes valuable.”

How I price it

My Savannah calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryLow

    The Savannah Book Festival and mild weather give me a few weekends to lift; otherwise I keep weekday rates modest and accept longer stays from snowbirds driving through Georgia.

  2. MarchPeak

    St. Patrick's Day dominates, and the Savannah Music Festival starts later in the month, so after the parade weekend I keep rates firm instead of dropping straight back to normal.

  3. April to JuneHigh

    Azaleas in Forsyth Park, weddings and SCAD graduation fill weekends in the Historic District, while Tybee begins its summer season with the Beach Bum Parade in May.

  4. July to SeptemberShoulder

    Heat slows the Historic District, so I discount weekdays there, while Tybee homes stay on weekly family pricing through July before softening in August.

  5. October to NovemberHigh

    Cooler weather, weddings, Tybee Pirate Fest and the SCAD Savannah Film Festival make autumn the second peak, so I keep weekend minimums and price event dates individually.

  6. DecemberShoulder

    Holiday tours of homes and family visits lift some weekends; I price Christmas and New Year as a short holiday band and keep the rest of the month flexible.

Where I price differently in Savannah

The Historic District squares
The core product for couples and wedding groups; I price weekends highest and use event dates, especially St. Patrick's and the film festival, as top bands.
Starland and the Victorian District
Artsy neighbourhoods south of Forsyth Park with a younger feel; I price them slightly below the squares and attract SCAD families and longer weekends.
Tybee Island
A beach town with week-long family stays in summer; I price by beach access and use Saturday changeovers where that suits the local pattern.

What I check first in Savannah

  • Whether the home's certificate and ward allow short-term rentals, and whether the Historic District cap leaves room for it, because that decides whether pricing even matters.
  • How close the home is to the squares, River Street and Forsyth Park, since couples here pay more for a short walk than for an extra bedroom.
  • Whether wedding weekends are priced as group stays, because many Savannah bookings come from wedding parties who need several homes on the same dates.
Pricing playbook

5 pricing moves, and 3 mistakes, in Savannah

  1. 1

    Price St. Patrick's Day as the top band, opened a year ahead, with 3-night minimums in the Historic District.

  2. 2

    Set spring and October to November weekends above midweek, with 2-night minimums.

  3. 3

    Run Tybee Island homes on weekly summer pricing and lower minimums outside summer.

  4. 4

    Add SCAD graduation and major event weekends as date premiums.

  5. 5

    Confirm the home's zone and certificate before setting its stay rules.

Mistakes I fix in Savannah

  • St. Patrick's Day priced like any March weekend.
  • Tybee summer weeks broken up by short bookings.
  • Ignoring the local zoning rules that decide whether a home can rent short-term.
Who it is for

When outsourced hotel revenue management makes sense in Savannah

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 Savannah

  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

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.

Busiest in Savannah: March (St. Patrick's Day, one of the largest in the US) to June and October to November.

April to June: Azaleas in Forsyth Park, weddings and SCAD graduation fill weekends in the Historic District, while Tybee begins its summer season with the Beach Bum Parade in May.
