Navigating New Frontiers of Hotel Revenue Management
Running a hotel in today’s world is a juggling act! You’re focused on keeping guests happy, your team running smoothly, and everything in between. But here’s the thing: a smart revenue strategy is what truly separates thriving hotels from those just getting by. Overlooking it? That means you’re almost certainly missing out on serious earnings.
The Sneaky Ways Revenue Gets Lost: It’s not always a leaky faucet or a bad review. Often, hotels lose revenue in subtle ways every single day. Think about it: underpricing rooms when there’s a big event in town, not offering that returning guest an upgrade, forgetting to adjust booking windows for the busy season, or just sticking with an old, automated pricing system. These little things add up to big losses over the year – we’re talking thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars!
Where’s the Money Going? Common Mistakes:
- Stuck in Static: The market changes constantly. If your prices don’t, you’re either selling yourself short or scaring away potential guests.
- Too Much OTA Love: Online Travel Agencies are helpful, but they shouldn’t be your main source of bookings. Those commissions eat into your profits.
- Untapped Tech: Is your PMS and RMS doing everything it could? Most hotels only use a fraction of what these powerful tools can do.
- Ignoring the Competition: Not keeping an eye on what your competitors are charging means you could be priced out or selling for less than you could get.
