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 Sedona. Sedona has two peaks, spring and autumn, instead of one summer season, and a very dense supply of casitas and small homes competing on views and hot tubs. Guests are mostly couples on short stays, often driving from Phoenix or California. The difference between a well-priced and a poorly priced listing here usually comes down to weekends and features.
For Sedona owners I check your permit, then build pricing around two peaks, weekend demand and your home's views and features. I compare your listing with the right casitas nearby, set event dates and seasonal floors, and leave you with a plan that holds value in both spring and autumn.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Sedona.
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.

Cold nights and occasional snow on the red rocks bring photographers and couples; I offer weekly rates and keep weekends modest, with Martin Luther King weekend as an exception.
The Sedona Marathon and the Sedona International Film Festival bring early visitors, and Valentine's weekend sells well, so I lift those dates and keep other nights flexible.
Spring break, Easter and perfect hiking weather make weekends hard to find; I keep two-night minimums and lift hot-tub and view homes above standard casitas.
Heat and monsoon storms slow hikers, so I target Phoenix residents escaping the valley heat with weekend offers and price weekdays for road-trippers heading to the Grand Canyon.
Cooler days and autumn colour in Oak Creek Canyon bring the second peak; I keep weekend rates firm and lift Thanksgiving week as its own band.
Christmas and New Year sell as a holiday block for couples and families, so I raise those nights and keep earlier December weekends priced for festive getaways.
Price March to May and September to November as the main seasons, with weekend premiums.
Charge clearly for red-rock views and hot tubs against comparable casitas.
Use 2-night weekend minimums and allow 1-night weekday stays for road-trippers.
Price Christmas week as a separate holiday band.
Lower July, August and January floors with weekly discounts for retreats.
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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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 photographs red-rock views, hot tubs and dark-sky stargazing, since these features decide which casita gets the booking in a crowded market.
