Hotel Revenue Optimization Consulting Services
Many areas of your property, including public spaces and revenue-focused zones, can often be overlooked as potential revenue boosters. Whether it’s adding a lobby market, training staff to encourage guest utilization of amenities, transitioning low-profit outlets to more profitable ones, or evaluating operations to uncover profitability barriers, HDE provides tailored solutions.
We also assess procurement and pricing strategies, employee engagement, and guest experience to ensure every opportunity to optimize revenue is realized. With our expertise, we’ll help you enhance both your financial performance and overall guest satisfaction.
OTA Hotel Management Services
The world of OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) is vast, dynamic, and often challenging to navigate. To succeed, it’s crucial to understand the costs and benefits of marketing through these global platforms while maintaining strong direct bookings. Mastering distribution and channel management strategies will help build occupancy, set competitive rates, and improve your property’s market position.
Here are three strategies that hoteliers can implement to encourage guests to book directly rather than through OTAs:
- Retrain front desk staff or reservation agents to ask insightful questions when speaking with callers.
- Support industry-wide campaigns by national and international brands to educate consumers about the benefits and drawbacks of OTA bookings versus booking direct.
- Educate customers who have booked via OTAs to return and book directly next time, emphasizing the best rates and greater control over reservations, cancellations, and changes.
HDE’s hospitality consultants specialize in creating revenue management plans designed to build customer loyalty, leading to higher returns for owners and operators.
We look forward to speaking with you!
