Revenue management and pricing

What drives rate in this corridor

• Theme-park event calendars, which are published months ahead and move demand sharply.
• School holiday windows across multiple states and several countries.
• Tournament and competition schedules at the sports complexes.
• Convention weeks, which affect the corridor more than most people expect.
• Day of week: a Friday arrival and a Tuesday arrival are different products.

Why set-and-forget pricing loses money

A seasonal rate card cannot see a sold-out weekend three months out, so the best weeks of the year go at the same number as an ordinary one. That is the single most common thing we find when we take over a property: not that the rate was too low on average, but that it was flat.

Rates move daily against real corridor demand. The floor protects you from the race to the bottom; the ceiling is where the money is.

Minimum stays and gap nights

A three-night minimum that leaves a two-night orphan gap costs more than it protects. Minimums are adjusted as the calendar fills so the gaps close rather than sit empty, which is unglamorous work and adds up over a year.

What we will not do

We will not give you a guaranteed revenue figure, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. Occupancy and rate depend on the market, your home, and the calendar. What we will give you is a projection built from real comparables, and a monthly statement showing how reality tracked against it.
