What is Revenue Management?
The practice of Revenue Management was first used on a large scale by American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall in the 1970s. Stories of Crandall’s thriftiness are the stuff of industry legend at this point. He once bragged he saved his company $40,000 dollars one year by removing an olive from the standard on-board salad.
It was, however, his solution to his ‘perishable inventory problems’ that really made waves. That should have gained him a plaque in the proverbial hospitality hall of fame.
On its most basic level, the aim of any kind of revenue management strategy is to not let anything go to waste. An empty seat on an airborne plane was to Crandall what a spoiled bag of carrots would be to a green-grocer. In other words, wasted product equals losing opportunities to make a profit.
Crandall’s revolution was to play with prices and marketing strategies based on past data and future trends. The end result was like our friend the green-grocer reducing the price of carrots by half on their last sellable day, but with aeroplane tickets. It meant the monetisation of what for years had been written off as a straight-up loss. What’s more – it’s now standard practice across multiple industries.
Hotel Revenue Management first took off after a meeting between Crandall and Bill Marriott, then the executive Chairman of the Marriott International hotel group. Crandall shared his solution to the perishable inventory problem and Marriott adopted the same method. It makes perfect sense when you think about it.
An empty seat on an aeroplane that’s taken off and a vacant room in a hotel on a night that’s almost past might seem like very different things. They look identical on an accountant’s ledger.
Why are we introducing Amenitiz PriceAdvisor?
Setting the prices for your hotel’s rooms following revenue management strategies and best practices can be a complicated task. It invariably requires an expert who regularly inputs data onto a spreadsheet and works with some elaborate formulas to calculate the best pricing options.
Although Amenitiz PriceAdvisor has a complex algorithm doing the maths in the background, it’s user-friendly layout allows you to see, at a glance, when you should raise or lower your prices to increase your revenues.
How to use Amenitiz PriceAdvisor
You’ll be amazed at how simple it is. Have a quick look at this video to see how it works.
One of its most amazing features is that it enables full autonomy to hoteliers, who have absolute control over whether to accept the suggested price or not.
Sometimes the tool will advise raising the price and other times it will suggest a reduction. For example, on past dates when you didn’t have reservations, the tool will calculate a lower price at which the room would still be profitable and more likely to be reserved. This way you can increase your occupancy rate and benefit. A room left unoccupied is money lost forever. Same as an empty seat on a plane.
