Revenue management helps hotels to drive more revenue from their stagnant source of income (i.e. their rooms). By applying the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeemint.com\/hotel-revenue-management-services\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revenue and marketing management strategies<\/a>, hotels can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Understand the guest\u2019s demands (and booking pattern)<\/li><li>Apply the right room rates<\/li><li>Expand the hotel business<\/li><li>Win against competition<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite such benefits, most of the hotels ignore managing their revenue.

However, most of them are superficial and don\u2019t cover the nitty-gritty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is why I am presenting you with the 17 solid hotel revenue management strategies that you can apply right away and milk benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"BudgetAndForecast\"><strong>1. Budget and forecast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget planning is a critical part of a hotel\u2019s success, any day. Doesn\u2019t matter what\u2019s the size of your hotel, a robust and mindfully created budget can keep your property profitable, attractive, and functioning properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, you need to top up hotel budgeting with forecasting. If you aren\u2019t forecasting it is a systematic estimation of guests\u2019 demand and future preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not to mention, budgeting and forecasting are a brilliant combination that will always help you refrain from exhausting your financial reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, do read out hotel budgeting article to learn more about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548\" id=\"hs-cta-023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/502973\/023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img lazyload\" id=\"hs-cta-img-023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/502973\/023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548.png\" alt=\"Hotel Budgeting 101\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(502973, '023a968f-c599-4089-afd4-f83eabf9f548', {\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"CompetitionAnalysis\"><strong>2. Do competition analysis&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept of revenue management for the hospitality industry cannot be covered without touching base with competitor analysis. After all, competition analysis is one of the fundamentals of creating robust hotel revenue management strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/hotel-competition-analysis\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">competition analysis<\/a>, you can understand your and your competitors\u2019 strengths and weaknesses. You can know your position in the market and eventually work to stand out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But first things first, not every hotel next door is your competitor. You have to define your competition set (AKA compset). There are certain parameters that you should consider before considering any property as your competitor. Some of them are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No.of rooms<\/li><li>Room types<\/li><li>Accommodation type<\/li><li>Size of property<\/li><li>No. of OTA connections<\/li><li>Number of services<\/li><li>Average ratings and&nbsp; reviews<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the RIGHT compset is defined, you can analyze their rates via tools like <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ezeereservation.com\/features\/hotel-rate-shopper.php?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\">Rate Shopper<\/a>. You can check and compare their current pricing strategy and update your rates accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will not only help you strategize and manage revenue, but it will also provide you with proper forecasting. As a result, you can attract the right kind of guests at the right time and maintain the revenue you earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"RatesandInventory\"><strong><strong>3. Load rates and inventory<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelling is spiking, and you, as a hotelier, should definitely not miss out on the bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, looking at the current scenario, the travel numbers in 2024 are likely to surpass the numbers in 2023. The industry is going to witness a good amount of people travelling to various places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about hotel revenue management best practices, loading your room rates and inventory on all the channels is certainly the first and foremost thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven\u2019t done so yet, this is certainly the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"CheckCalendar\"><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>Check the calendar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, this point is one of the prominent revenue management strategies. Talking about checking the calendar, it is about listing down all the events when people are likely to travel and stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What could be those events? Weekends, holidays, concerts, festivals etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you\u2019re done listing, try to come up with strategies to attract your guests to your hotel. Maybe you could try offering a discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you\u2019re a pro hotelier, you will never even think of skipping this part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><em>Pro Tip: When you\u2019re listing holidays and festivals, do include holidays from neighbouring states and provinces. Because it might be a working Tuesday in your town, but a holiday in some other place. So, make the most out of it.<\/em><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><em>Also, many people are now not travelling faraway distances, rather exploring nearby places. So, catering to your neighbouring guests is certainly a great idea.<\/em><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"DemandForecasting\"><strong>5. Perform demand forecasting<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analyzing your past and present data is important to channelize your marketing efforts and is one of the top strategies to increase hotel revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But extracting the right data and actually going through them in detail is quite hectic. Then how to figure out which strategy is working for you?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/hotel-demand-forecasting\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demand forecasting<\/a> comes into the picture. It is the prediction of future business performance. In which, data is of utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is how you can perform demand forecasting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Data Collection:<\/strong> Gather data such as peak and weak seasons, long weekends, festivals and so on.<\/li><li>Analysis: Find out how you\u2019ve performed on these occasions. Then predict how you\u2019ll be able to perform in the coming year.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In that case, a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hotel management system<\/a> helps you get detailed reports and business insights that include the revenue you earned, your best-selling factors, your ADR, and more. These reports will help you make precise decisions in your hotel revenue strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, data analysis will help you come up with better revenue management techniques to implement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"OTAConnection\"><strong><strong>6. Think again about OTA connections<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to hotel revenue optimization, you need to have the right DISTRIBUTION of the rooms to sell the right room at the right prices. For that reason, you have to give fresh thought to your OTA connections:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Select the regional as well as international OTAs<\/li><li>Consider your property type and your target audience<\/li><li>Last but not least, OTAs that fall into your budget.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me give you an example to have a better idea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a B&amp;B in Europe, then you should connect to regional OTAs like eDreams Odigeo and global OTAs like Expedia, and Booking.com. Since you are a B&amp;B, you also need to consider OTAs such as Airbnb and bedandbreakfast.com that help you target your potential guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center\"><strong>However, when you zero in your distribution method, keep in mind that they should be light on your pocket.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, you should not limit yourself to 2-3 OTAs. The more the OTA connections, the wider the exposure is. In turn, more bookings and revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244\" id=\"hs-cta-7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/502973\/7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img lazyload\" id=\"hs-cta-img-7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/502973\/7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244.png\" alt=\"Your Hotel Needs More OTA Connections\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(502973, '7632c8a5-3ebf-4759-86b9-cd36ef113244', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"AdoptUniformDistributionMethod\"><strong>7. Adopt a uniform distribution method&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides selecting the right OTAs, it is equally important to select the right distribution method as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, many of you still prefer the allocated inventory distribution method in which you allocate a fixed inventory to a particular channel. However, you may lose potential booking opportunities in this scenario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, you should apply a uniform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/hotel-room-inventory-management\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inventory distribution method<\/a> and list all your inventories on all channels. As a result, you get bookings from all the possible channels and your inventory is utilized to the fullest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center\"><strong>#ProTip: Use technology like <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeecentrix.com\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>channel manager<\/strong><\/a><strong> to practice this method effectively.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"GuestSegmentation\"><strong>8. Perform guest segmentation&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Segmentation is a key element of hotel revenue management. Targeting all types of customers for your hotel is a waste of time and money. Therefore, segmenting and pitching the right set of guests is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best ways to segment your audience is by their reason for travel. It could be a family holiday, wedding, tourist event, adventure, relaxation, business, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only that, identifying your guests and evaluating their habits; for example, the kind of rooms, hotel facilities and location they&#8217;re looking for. Of course, several other factors will help you optimize your room rates and showcase your services accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides, you can analyze and drill down the segment that is giving you more business. In this way, you can strategize to make more revenue from them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, knowing your target audience is important to plan and execute your hotel\u2019s revenue management strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, you can also tap into guest personas. If you aren\u2019t aware of it, a guest persona is a fictional character that a hotel creates to describe its ideal guests. Meaning, it is the representation of a guest demographic that is likely to stay at the property.<br>Talking about its prominence, guest personas help hotels in delivering personalised experiences to their guests and gain their trust, loyalty and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/increase-repeat-guests-for-hotel\/?utm_source=guestpersona&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increase repeat bookings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ResponsiveWebsite\"><strong>9. Make a responsive hotel website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the facts stand in 2019, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>1\/3rd of the total bookings are made through mobile.

Use metasearch to your advantage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When people like a property, they look it up on Google, TripAdvisor, Trivago, etc. to get more information about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be an excellent opportunity for you. Therefore, you should add your hotel website to the Google My Business listing so that a customer can go to your website and explore the options of booking directly with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Google has also a program called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/free-hotel-booking-links\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free Hotel Booking Links<\/a> that allows you to display your real-time rates for free. Meaning, you can drive more direct bookings without any hassles. You can enrol on this program through an authorised partner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TripAdvisor, on the other hand, allows hoteliers to connect the hotel booking engine with their search engines so that a guest can book directly from the hotel website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can take advantage of this and provide add-ons, which you generally do not offer via OTAs because of hefty commissions. This way you can save on some commission and guests would get more value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"YieldManagement\"><strong>12. Practice yield management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yield management is an inseparable part of revenue management for hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is a common misconception that revenue management is the same as yield management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, that\u2019s not the case. Yield management for hotels encompasses the revenue generated through room charges or occupancy. Whereas revenue management in the hospitality industry involves a whole lot more than just occupancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Basically, it is all about demand and supply.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have to set different rates for different occupancy levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can define different occupancy slabs and set different rates for each slab. And as the occupancy increases, there is a percentage or amount increase in the basic room rates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of this, it is considered the most important tool to balance the revenue that you earn, especially when the demand is less. Hence, yield management proves to be the most practical way to increase your revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how you can practice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/yield-management-in-hotel-industry\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">yield management strategies<\/a> to get more revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"PricingStrategies\"><strong>13. Try multiple pricing strategies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pricing strategies play an important role in hotel revenue management. There are different pricing strategies, some of them are as mentioned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Segmented rates<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this strategy, segment your customers and offer different rates to each customer segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Following the rate parity strategy, the rates for the open market should be the same.<\/li><li>On the other hand, offer negotiated rates to the corporate segment and in return ask them to commit a certain number of rooms for the negotiated rates.<\/li><li>Connect with a tour operator and sell them some rooms at special rates.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rates as per the length of stay (LOS)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adjust your prices based on your guests\u2019 length of stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>For example<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><em>Mandate the length of your guest\u2019s stay by offering them good prices.<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Get a 3N\/2D stay at Avalanche Resort and at 200 USD only.<\/em><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Offer packages<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A package is a room rate clustered together with other products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>For example<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong><em>Offer a <\/em><\/strong><em style=\"font-weight: bold;\">free meal package<\/em>. <strong><em>If your guests have selected a European plan, then offer a free meal for the first day as a package.<\/em><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are top-performing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/hotel-pricing-strategies\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pricing strategies for hotels<\/a> explained in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"LocalBusiness\"><strong>14. Partner with local businesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have not considered it important enough, but partnering with local businesses can actually be a great catalyst for your revenue management strategy for hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Following rooms and amenities, activities make up the next largest revenue source for hotels. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local partnerships can expand your revenue streams and provide authentic experiences to your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are located in a place with scenic destinations, offer your guests a city tour. If you are nearby an amusement park then you can tie up with them, and offer tickets at some discounted rates to your guests.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, you can explore many such additional avenues of extra revenue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, not to forget, chances are that those businesses around your property are also open for such partnerships. So, ensure that you do reach out to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"AdoptTechnology\"><strong><strong>15. Adopt the latest technology solutions&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now if you look around, technology is everywhere. It\u2019s in the payments you make (digital you know), the shopping you do, the services you consume, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further, the current and future generations are tilting toward innovative technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you know why? Simple \u2013 the ease of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, providing quick service through the latest technology is key to increasing bookings and hotel revenue. However, the question is: which technology solution you will use to streamline your operations and increase productivity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d say a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete suite of seamlessly integrated solutions<\/a> can be a shot to your arm. With automated solutions, you can provide quick and better services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides, these days technology such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/hotel-chatbots\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hotel chatbot<\/a> is being used to assist with basic operations and information and improve guests\u2019 experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotels can also perform the quick operation at their voice command with a digital assistant, thus reducing their time and effort in getting a task done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, these days, a few hotels have started practising the Internet of Things (IoT). For example, there are IoT solutions that adjust room temperature depending on room occupancy, energy management systems, in-room concierge and whatnot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how the next-gen technology like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/blog\/iot-in-hospitality-industry\/?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IoT can increase your hotel revenue<\/a> and expand your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ManageReviews\"><strong>16. Manage your reviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first thing guests check before visiting a hotel is its reviews. With the increasing number of online platforms, guests often communicate and interact online to share the experiences they had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why hotels these days need to focus on their hotel reviews and reputation. This also forms an essential part of your hotel revenue management strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You see, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Customer ratings affect hotel revenue. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How? Well, today people can search and find all the travel and hotel information provided by different sites. Let\u2019s take TripAdvisor for example. TripAdvisor provides information and reviews written by the guests about the particular hotel and its services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this ultimately influences the guest&#8217;s final decision to book a hotel. This way, hotel reviews have a greater impact on the current and future guests that you may welcome at your hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, to ensure that none of the reviews are left unresponded, hotels use review management software like Critique. Here&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lfv86AVyc-0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/p><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, <strong>you must respond to all the reviews <\/strong>(especially, the negative ones).

Mostly these kinds of guests are business travellers who prefer to utilize services from trusted hotel brands. Hotels need to face this fact as soon as possible and make good use of it by running some good loyalty programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, don\u2019t you think guests will prefer hotels that offer discounts or rewards to value their frequent guests? Well, hotel loyalty programs are the best way to do that and increase repeat guests as well as direct guests. This makes them an undeniable aspect of your hotel revenue management strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sad thing is \u2013 only a few hotels consider loyalty programs as an important part of their marketing strategy. But the truth is loyalty programs can be a key factor in the guests\u2019 decision-making process. Especially, those who frequently visit your hotel. Employing a stable hotel loyalty program software can strengthen a hotel\u2019s reward programs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"offerSection\">\n<div class=\"offerSectionImg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/images\/book.png\" alt=\"Hotel Revenue Management eBook\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"offerSectionContent\">\n<h4>Finding ways to grow your hotel revenue?<\/h4>\n<p>Get this FREE guide to your hotel revenue management<br><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ezeeabsolute.com\/hotel-revenue-management-book.php?utm_source=RMStrategies&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=eABlog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bonus\"><strong>Bonus: Expense management<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve discussed several strategies to drive more revenue.
