Implementing a solid revenue management strategy ensures that a new property, and its entire team, hits the ground running from day one.
Opening a new hotel or resort property is both a thrilling and daunting undertaking. With a never-ending list of decisions to make, a diverse group of stakeholders to keep happy, constantly sliding timelines, and unforeseen problems arising daily, it’s a wonder new hotels ever see the light of their grand-opening day.
But you’ve got this, and it’s going to be great. You’re smart. You’ve done your research— maybe you’ve even done this a few times before—and your business plan is solid. Only, what about revenue management? We won’t hold it against you if pricing-strategy planning and revenue-technology evaluation didn’t make the very top of your to-do list, but we would advise you to reprioritize them.
Wherever you are on your new hotel journey, it’s never too soon to assess your revenue optimization needs. From staffing decisions to tech budgets to sales, marketing, and distribution tactics, your new hotel’s revenue management approach will play an impactful role at every stage of development.
