What Is Revenue Management in STR?

And Why You Might Be Leaving Money on the Table

Beyond Dynamic Pricing

Revenue management goes far beyond just using a dynamic pricing tool. It's the human strategy that bridges the gap where automation falls short. Think of it as the thinking behind the numbers - not just numbers alone.

The Limits of Dynamic Pricing Tools - Tools like PriceLabs, Beyond, or Wheelhouse are great for adjusting prices based on market data, but they don’t:

  1. Analyze pacing (how your calendar is booking over time)

  2. Understand guest behavior types.

  3. Fine-tune your comp set (the group of listings your tool compares yours to)

You're leaving thousands of dollars on the table each month due to pricing gaps.

if you’re only using a pricing tool without the necessary solid strategy behind it.

Example Scenarios

Let me show you some real examples of where pricing tools missed the mark by ignoring strategy\

Scenario #1: Minimum Stay Mismatch

Let’s say your property is in a market where 90% of bookings are for 2-night stays, but you’ve set your minimum to 3 nights.

By doing that, you’ve just eliminated 90% of your booking potential - and your pricing tool won’t flag that for you. That’s money left on the table.
