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 Door County: Wisconsin Dells waterparks; Door County cherry season and fall foliage; Lake Michigan cottage demand; Chicago and Milwaukee weekend travel. Guests I price for: Midwestern families on 3 to 7 night stays. Where I start: Summer weekly pricing, foliage premiums, and long off-season floors.
For Door County inns and Dells resorts I work on the balance between weekly family stays, weekend couples and group bookings. I help set fences for summer weekends and colour season, plan packages with waterparks and local attractions, and decide how to handle the long off-season.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Door County.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“Door County and the Wisconsin Dells are both Midwestern family markets, but different ones. The Dells run on waterparks and school holidays, Door County on cottages, cherry season and autumn colour. Both have long off-seasons. I price summer by the week and make the shoulder months work for couples and weekenders.”

Indoor waterparks keep the Dells busier than Door County, so I price Dells winter weekends and school breaks firmly while Door County homes rely on monthly stays and the odd snowshoe weekend.
Door County blossom season and the Dells' spring breaks lift some weekends; I keep minimums short and price for couples and families testing an early trip.
Families fill both areas, with Door County cherry picking in late July and Dells waterparks all summer, so I protect week-long stays and price weekends highest.
Door County fall colour and festivals like Sister Bay Fall Fest bring strong weekends, so I price those firmly and keep Dells pricing moderate after Labor Day.
Door County slows sharply after the colour, so I set realistic floors and use Christmas weekends, while Dells homes price around holiday breaks and indoor waterpark demand.
Run summer on weekly or long-weekend stays for families.
Price Door County October colour weekends as a premium.
Price Dells homes around school holidays and waterpark demand.
Shorten minimum stays in spring and autumn for couples.
Offer low winter floors and weekend stays.
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.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
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.

|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

Busiest in Door County: June to August, with October foliage in Door County and school holidays in the Dells. June to August: Families fill both areas, with Door County cherry picking in late July and Dells waterparks all summer, so I protect week-long stays and price weekends highest. September to October: Door County fall colour and festivals like Sister Bay Fall Fest bring strong weekends, so I price those firmly and keep Dells pricing moderate after Labor Day. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. How the listing describes lake, bay or waterpark access, because guests in Door County and the Dells choose by water and park distance before price.
Price Dells homes around school holidays and waterpark demand. Next: offer low winter floors and weekend stays. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Door County property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Door County: November to March in Door County. January to March: Indoor waterparks keep the Dells busier than Door County, so I price Dells winter weekends and school breaks firmly while Door County homes rely on monthly stays and the odd snowshoe weekend. April to May: Door County blossom season and the Dells' spring breaks lift some weekends; I keep minimums short and price for couples and families testing an early trip.
Foliage weekends ignored and long summer minimums kept into autumn. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Door County, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Door County, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Door County sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April to May: Door County blossom season and the Dells' spring breaks lift some weekends; I keep minimums short and price for couples and families testing an early trip.
Fish Creek, Ephraim and Sister Bay: Bayside sunsets, Peninsula State Park and shops make this the busiest part of Door County; I price summer and colour weekends highest and keep weekly stays in July and August. Baileys Harbor and the quiet side and Lake Delton and the Dells strip get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Chicago and Milwaukee weekend travel, Wisconsin Dells waterparks and Door County cherry season and fall foliage are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Door County. November to December: Door County slows sharply after the colour, so I set realistic floors and use Christmas weekends, while Dells homes price around holiday breaks and indoor waterpark demand.
