What is Revenue Management?
Revenue Management is the evolution of Yeld
Management: a variable pricing strategy, based on
understanding, anticipating and influencing consumer
behavior in order to maximize revenue or profits from a
fixed, perishable resource.
Yeld Management was introduced by American Arilines
at the end of the 70's.

What is Revenue Management?
According to legend, Robert Crandall (CEO of A.A. in
the 70’s) spoke to his friend John Marriott about Yeld
Management.
Marriott was impressed and started using the system in
the famous hotel chain.
Since “yield” was a specific airline term, Marriott
renamed it “Revenue Management”.

What is Revenue Management?
Main RM leverage is “price discrimination”
(customers consuming the same good/service at the same time but at different prices)
and can be applied with success to any perishable
resource (airplane seats, hotel rooms, concert tickets, etc.)
Thanks to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978
(that basically removed government restriction in terms
of air ticket rates and created a competitive market in
airline business) this strategy became extremely
important for airline companies to stay competitive.

Spillage:
When a hotel sells it’s rooms too quickly and
has to close availability. This usually happens
when the rate strategy is not adapted to Pick-up
or when a hotel gave too many rooms in
allotments to Tour Operators or OTAs.

Key Definitions
Spoilage:
This is when a hotel has too many unsold
rooms and has to sell them at a too low price.
The danger with spoilage is that you can get re-
bookings of guests thus losing revenue and
rate.

5 REMINDERS FOR REVENUE MGMT
WIHPHOTELS.COM #WIHPACADEMY
1. Use all 4 levers, not just 1
The four levers are: Rates, Inventory,
Distribution and Demand.
2. RevPAR is the Key, not ADR
ADR is good for your ego, but will not pay
your bills!
3. Study data, don’t worship it
The easiest way to increase rates is to
increase service and guest satisfaction;
because you can’t move the hotel nor
renovate it over-night.
THE 4 PILLARS OF HOTEL MARKETING
4. Take a look around
You may not be interested in the
upcoming GaudiExhibition but your
guests are!
5. Unsold rooms means
you did it wrong
Don’t get obsessed with the cost of
occupied room and remember that
the cost of a unsold room is always
higher!

WIHP: Revenue Management Basic Strategies

  • 1. account managers training REVENUE MANAGEMENT BASIC STRATEGIES #WIHPAcademy marjorie theisen & simone puorto
  • 2. #WIHPACADEMY What is Revenue Management? Revenue Management is the evolution of Yeld Management: a variable pricing strategy, based on understanding, anticipating and influencing consumer behavior in order to maximize revenue or profits from a fixed, perishable resource. Yeld Management was introduced by American Arilines at the end of the 70's. WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT
  • 3. #WIHPACADEMY What is Revenue Management? D.I.N.A.M.O. Dynamic Inventory Optimization & Maintenance Optimizer WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT
  • 4. #WIHPACADEMY What is Revenue Management? According to legend, Robert Crandall (CEO of A.A. in the 70’s) spoke to his friend John Marriott about Yeld Management. Marriott was impressed and started using the system in the famous hotel chain. Since “yield” was a specific airline term, Marriott renamed it “Revenue Management”. WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT
  • 5. #WIHPACADEMY What is Revenue Management? Main RM leverage is “price discrimination” (customers consuming the same good/service at the same time but at different prices) and can be applied with success to any perishable resource (airplane seats, hotel rooms, concert tickets, etc.) Thanks to the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 (that basically removed government restriction in terms of air ticket rates and created a competitive market in airline business) this strategy became extremely important for airline companies to stay competitive.

  • 8. #WIHPACADEMY Key Definitions Fixed Cost: The costs that do not change with the increase or decrease of occupancy rate. Fixed costs are mortgages, loans, taxes, employee salaries, rent, insurances, internet landline, electricity bills, etc. These costs do not increase with more rooms but do not decrease either. This cost can be calculated on the financial yearly statement WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT 1. Rate 2. Inventory 3. Distribution 4. Demand
  • 9. #WIHPACADEMY Key Definitions Variable Costs: The costs directly related to hotel occupancy. As occupancy increases, they increase; as hotel occupancy decreases, they decrease as well. Variable costs are laundry, food and beverage, guest room amenities, telephone calls, externalized cleaning/waiter staff WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT 1. Rate 2. Inventory 3. Distribution 4. Demand
  • 10. #WIHPACADEMY Key Definitions RevPAR: Revenue per Available Room Calculated by taking into account the total room revenue divided by the number of rooms you have available to sell during the same time period.

  • 15. #WIHPACADEMY Key Definitions Spillage: When a hotel sells it’s rooms too quickly and has to close availability. This usually happens when the rate strategy is not adapted to Pick-up or when a hotel gave too many rooms in allotments to Tour Operators or OTAs. WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT 1. Rate 2. Inventory 3. Distribution 4. Demand
  • 16. #WIHPACADEMY Key Definitions Spoilage: This is when a hotel has too many unsold rooms and has to sell them at a too low price. The danger with spoilage is that you can get re- bookings of guests thus losing revenue and rate. WIHPHOTELS.COM BASICS OF REVENUE MANAGEMENT 1. Rate 2. Inventory 3. Distribution 4. Demand

  • 28. 5 REMINDERS FOR REVENUE MGMT WIHPHOTELS.COM #WIHPACADEMY 1. Use all 4 levers, not just 1 The four levers are: Rates, Inventory, Distribution and Demand. 2. RevPAR is the Key, not ADR ADR is good for your ego, but will not pay your bills! 3. Study data, don’t worship it The easiest way to increase rates is to increase service and guest satisfaction; because you can’t move the hotel nor renovate it over-night. THE 4 PILLARS OF HOTEL MARKETING 4. Take a look around You may not be interested in the upcoming GaudiExhibition but your guests are! 5. Unsold rooms means you did it wrong Don’t get obsessed with the cost of occupied room and remember that the cost of a unsold room is always higher!
