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 Wilmington. Wilmington combines a historic river town with nearby beaches and a film industry. Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure beaches run on summer weeks, while the Azalea Festival and production crews add demand outside summer. Beach and town homes should never share a strategy.
For a Wilmington owner I separate downtown and beach demand first, then review summer weeks, festival weekends and off-season options for film crews and long stays. We agree on changeover days, minimum stays and floors together so the home earns well all year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Wilmington.
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.
Film crews, traveling nurses and snowbirds carry the quiet months; I offer monthly rates and keep weekend floors modest for couples visiting downtown.
The Azalea Festival in April, spring break and UNCW graduation lift weekends; I price those dates individually and start opening summer beach weeks.
Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure beaches fill with families; I run fixed weekly turnovers and price July 4th week highest.
Riverfest in October, fishing weekends and quieter beaches draw couples; I shorten minimum stays and price event weekends separately.
Run summer beach homes on weekly stays with fixed turnover.
Price the Azalea Festival in April as a premium for Wilmington homes.
Offer monthly rates for film and TV production crews.
Price Bald Head Island and Topsail homes on their own comps.
Lower December to February floors.
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.

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 close it is to the beach, the Cape Fear Riverwalk or production studios, since each location draws a different guest and supports a different price.
