Revenue Management
In conjunction with our central reservations services we also assist our member establishments with revenue management.
Revenue management is crucial to optimising your properties revenue performance. We ensure that each property is proficient in this critical area. We achieve this by predicting demand and supplying at the correct rate at the proper time and then applying this information to your distribution channels. Selling the right room at the right time, at the best price, with the lowest possible commission can be a challenge if you don’t have the time to crunch the numbers. We could suggest and assist with the implementation of BAR (Best Available Rates) as well as yielding and updating your distribution system and channels accordingly to prevent rate parity issues. By managing these essential areas, we increase the average room rate by ensuring your pricing is market-related to increase your occupancy.
