Revenue Optimisation - a well proven concept.
Why use Revenue Management and Optimisation?
Most businesses face important decisions about what to sell, when to sell, to whom to sell, and for how much. Revenue Management combines data and strategy to answer these questions in order to optimise sales revenue yield.
When does Revenue Management work best?
Revenue Management is ideally suited to industries where there is a fixed inventory of goods or services, and it is not easy to expand or contract capacity to suit demand. It requires that bookings are made in advance, and there is a high perishability of product, i.e. any excess inventory cannot be stored and sold at a later date.
Origins of the idea
Revenue Management first started evolving in the 1970s with the deregulation of the US airline industry. The key breakthrough was realising that people are prepared to pay a different price for a ticket depending upon their circumstances.
The aviation industry
Revenue Management has become so widely accepted that no airline that has started using revenue management has ever walked away from it. With profitability often less than one dollar per seat sold, optimising the price is vital.
Hotels & casinos
Hotels constantly adjust room rates according to demand, so revenue management has been widely adopted. However, in this industry, inventory pricing can become a loss leader as it is proven to attract additional revenue to associated casinos.
Broadcast advertising
This industry is ideally suited to benefit from Revenue Management. As media owners increasingly change from state or private owners to traditional equity ownership, the accountants are questioning the strategies behind pricing decisions.
