During peak holiday periods, consider adopting a revenue management system that factors in various parameters such as historical booking data, competitor pricing, local events, and even weather forecasts. TargetedMarketing and Segmentation Segment your audience based on demographics, interests, or past booking behaviors.
This includes offering tailored packages, suggesting room upgrades, promoting in-house dining experiences, and even curating special entertainment events. This data-driven approach allows hoteliers to make informed decisions about pricing, promotions, and packages based on historical data, market trends, and forecasts.
Is it an event? Is it a recurring event or a one-time event? Are you going to have the same events and holidays for next year? You might consider offering special promotions or targetedmarketing campaigns to attract guests during these quieter times and ensure your rooms aren’t sitting empty.
Key factors considered in market segmentation include length of stay , day-of-week stays, total revenue per room , total revenue per client, booking lead time, cancellation percentage, and no-show ratio. This information enables revenue managers to strategically target specific holidays or events with tailored offers and packages.
Rate Management: Thereafter, channel management systems help hotels set different room rates for each channel based on demand, seasonality, events and other criteria. They can seamlessly increase revenue and effectively respond to market conditions, thanks to their ability to manage rates.
By gauging the strengths and weaknesses of other hotels in the vicinity, one can identify unique selling points and potential market gaps. By analysing historical data, current bookings, local events, and even broader market trends to identify patterns, your hotel can anticipate busy and quiet periods.
This type of model covers the up-front media required to run campaigns and you pay a commission net revenue (after cancellations). Paid Search For the last 2 decades, paid search has been the leading digital marketing channel for hotels and resorts and over that time Cost-Per-Clicks (CPCs) have had peaks and valleys. Remember, #SMYKM.
The revenue forecast report provides a prediction of future occupancy and revenue based on factors like historical data, market trends and upcoming events. For example: A hotel’s booking pace report for the upcoming month falls short of the occupancy target. No, it’s no magic crystal ball.
Rather than depend on one or two booking channels, hotels can targetmarket segments on multiple distribution channels such as OTAs, the GDS, and bed banks. For example, if you receive a lot of group bookings, you may decide to divide them into social (weddings, events, etc.) Maintain a diverse distribution strategy.
The entertainment businesses can include attractions of special interest such as zoos and museums, or spectator events such as theatre performances or sports games. Promotions are special rates that can change depending on: – The season or holiday period; – If the guest is a VIP; or, – You want to capitalise on an event. –
Guest Profiles: Stores guest information, preferences, and booking history, facilitating personalized service and targetedmarketing efforts. No-show and Cancellation Policies: Specify policies for no-shows and cancellations, ensuring transparency and managing guest expectations.
Which is why it is imperative to offer flexible booking options, such as the ability to easily change or cancel reservations. Elegan offers flexible booking options that allow guests to change or cancel their reservations up to 24 hours before their arrival date without any penalties. No doubt, it is going to be a major selling point.

Better Budget Allocation : By targeting areas with higher interest in specific travel services, companies can allocate their budget more efficiently, ensuring they’re spending money where it’s most likely to convert. Consider featuring tours of popular landmarks, live events, or Q&A sessions with travel experts.
Commissions per stay: This commission-based system doesn’t make you shoulder the cost of cancellations, as you only pay a portion of the room booking value if a guest stays. Commissions per conversion: This system requires you to bid a percentage of the booking value for each secured hotel room through your ad.
Does the hostel’s current targetmarket match your ideal targetmarket? You need to be clear on your rules around booking, cancellation, arrival, departure, payment, and all your on-site rules, which can be as easy as sending a clear and concise email before they arrive. Is the property an appropriate size?
