Cyber Monday: Hotel Revenue Pickup Report, SiteMinder Deal, and Hotel Books on Sale
Good morning,
A quick reminder on two incredible offers for the month of November which end in just a few days:
π¨ SiteMinder
βSave 50% for the first 6 months when adding on Demand Plusβ
SiteMinder is one of the world's leading channel managers for hotels. It has been the focus of my articles this year, because not only is it modern, easy-to-use, and is constantly improving, it can save hotels a lot of money on central reservation fees, and OTA fees from Booking.com or Expedia.
Here are the latest articles I have written about SiteMinder to learn more.
- βMaximizing Efficiency: The SiteMinder Experience β 6 Months Laterβ
- βUse SiteMinder To Save Money And Earn More Revenueβ
- βHow to Use Turbosuite and SiteMinder to Increase Your Revenue in 2023β
To take advantage of this offer, respond to this email or fill out the forms on the links. Signing up this month includes a free 2 week trial to start, and after enrolment, I assist you in setting up the property for free.
π Hotel Revenue Pickup Report
Until the end of the month, the hotel revenue pickup report is available for any price. This Excel spreadsheet was updated for 2024, includes a quick start guide and best practices, and my full support if purchased for more than $1.00.
There is also the possibility of negotiating to modify the Excel spreadsheet for your own needs - i.e. if you have multiple properties and want one consolidated report to use.

π Books
βRevenue Management for the Hospitality Industry 2nd Editionβ
This is an essential textbook that remains nearby my work desk. This is the updated 2nd edition, and it is available for a lower price on Kindle. A wealth of knowledge for people looking for ideas on how to improve, or on how to get started with revenue management in the industry.
β
βThis is Revenue Management: How the Best Revenue Managers Create Massive Valueβ
For someone who is in the exploratory stages of revenue management and not ready to commit to a heavier textbook, take a look at this book. Covering all the basics of what revenue management is to how revenue managers operate on a daily basis. Johan Hammer has other resources on his website, Revenue Superstar!β
β
βDiscipline Is Destiny: The Power of Self-Controlβ
This book is not related to the hospitality industry directly. Ryan Holiday is one of my favourite writers and his primary focus is on Stoicism. This book is his latest in his series about the four virtues. The third book is set to be released next year. In this book, he draws on the biographies, articles, and other sources, about the lives of some of the most famous people in the past hundred years. He touches on Dwight Eisenhower, Lou Gehrig, Angela Merkel, Queen Elizabeth II, and more. Check out Daily Stoic if you are interested in learning more about Stoicism.
That is all for today. Wishing you all the best in this coming week, and hoping to be back on track for more regular updates starting next week.

Maximizing Efficiency: The SiteMinder Experience β 6 Months Later Earlier in the year, an article titled Use SiteMinder To Save Money And Earn More Revenue was published, projecting the savings that would happen after switching a propertyβs central reservation system (CRS).

Around the same time the article was published, a boutique hotel was...
