Right now, all hotels – but especially smaller, independent properties – are facing a never-before-seen set of challenges; from supply chain issues, to inflation, to rising energy costs, to the ongoing staffing crisis, it is a very difficult time to operate a hotel. Travelers are uncertain about what the future holds for them, financially, making many more hesitant to book travel, especially in advance. Add to this the fact that hotels are facing very stiff competition from the OTAs for bookings, it becomes harder and harder for independent properties to stay competitive and profitable.
But there is an easy way to improve your RevPAR, occupancy and ADR, while cutting back on time-consuming menial tasks.
It’s simple: automated pricing technology.
What is automated pricing?
Automated pricing technology, like RoomPriceGenie, helps hotels stay competitive by giving them more control over their pricing – no more Excel spreadsheets necessary! Automated pricing technology enables hotels to optimize rates based on real-time market data and demand, which can help attract more guests and maximize revenue (which is especially important for smaller hotels that may have smaller profit margins). It also enables hotels to ensure that their rates are in line with their competitors, to avoid overcharging (and losing out on the booking) or leaving money on the table. In short, automated pricing technology makes sure that your rooms are priced right, every night.
Not quite convinced? Maybe this will help… on average, a 19-room property will earn $70,000 more revenue per year using an automated hotel pricing solution
But there are many additional benefits to using an automated pricing solution…
Do more with less
With the ongoing labor shortage, hoteliers need to do more, with less, and an automated pricing solution can optimize labor, resulting in decreased payroll expenses; in fact, automated pricing technology “could save your hotel 20-40 hours of employee time per month, according to a recent study by Hotel Tech Report.” By automating routine analytical tasks, hoteliers have more time to focus on high-level strategic planning and the development of demand generation activities, which will help to further drive revenue. Automating prices also removes the potential risk of costly human error.
How Implement a more effective price optimization strategy
Automated pricing technology can also be used to help independent hotels better understand their customers and the market. By monitoring customer behavior and market trends, hotels can gain valuable insights into their business and make better decisions about pricing, promotions and overall guest service issues.
Improve guest service & earn more repeat business
In the end, pricing technology will give you more time to do what you do best: provide the best possible experience for every guest. And, of course, by providing the best level of service to your guests, you will also be encouraging repeat customers – another fantastic way to increase profits and decrease the cost of acquisition; after all, “acquiring a new customer costs anywhere from five to twenty-five times more than keeping an existing customer” and “boosting client retention rates by 5% improves profitability by 25% to 95%.”
