Why Are Hotels So Afraid to Upsell? 🤷‍♂️

Ryanair doesn’t hesitate for a second when charging for extras.

Yet hotels—businesses that literally sell experiences and upgrades—are weirdly shy about offering add-ons.

🛎️ When was the last time reception proactively sold a better room?
🥂 Why isn’t every guest offered a welcome drink package?
🍳 Why isn’t breakfast pre-sold at check-in to boost F&B revenue?

Hotels, let’s be real:
🚨 Guests expect to be offered extras.
🚨 If they don’t book it at your hotel, they’ll spend it elsewhere.
🚨 If you’re not selling, you’re losing money.

Ryanair doesn’t apologise for offering add-ons—they just do it as a matter of process.

So why are hotels leaving money on the table? Tomorrow, we talk numbers.

Have a profitable week.

The 'Everything Is Extra' Playbook

I know, I know—Ryanair isn’t exactly the Four Seasons of the skies. But love them or hate them, their upselling strategy is nothing short of genius.

✔️ Want a seat next to your partner? That’s extra.
✔️ Need a carry-on bag? That’s extra.
✔️ Fancy skipping the boarding queue? That’s extra.

And you know what? People pay. Every. Single. Time.

Now, let’s talk about hotels.

When was the last time your front desk actively upsold anything?
When did a guest last hear, “Would you like a room with a view?” or “Would you like to pre-book breakfast?”

Why aren’t hotels applying the same relentless focus on ancillary revenue as airlines?

Stay tuned. Because Ryanair-level upselling isn’t just for budget airlines—it’s for hotels too.

Have a profitable week.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

Your Tech Hates Messy Pricing Too

Your channel manager, PMS, and booking engine aren’t magicians. They can’t fix messy rate plans — they just pass the chaos along.

The more plans you load, the more you risk:
⚠️ Mapping errors
⚠️ Out-of-sync rates
⚠️ Dodgy reporting (good luck spotting trends!)

Clean pricing = clean data = smart decisions = more revenue.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

Your Team Deserves Better (and Faster)

Your reservations team isn’t there to play detective. But that’s exactly what happens when you drown them in rate plans.

“Which one is today’s best seller?”
“Why does Rate Plan G have different cancellation terms than Rate Plan K?”
“Oops… we gave the wrong price over the phone.”

Too many rates = slower responses, more mistakes, and lost revenue.

Clean up your pricing, and your team can focus on selling — not solving puzzles.

Guest Confusion = Abandoned Bookings

Want a guaranteed way to lose a booking?

Overwhelm your guests with too many rate plans.

Here’s what happens when they see 10+ options:
🤯 “Wait, what’s the difference between these two?”
🤯 “Do I need to prepay, or is breakfast included?”
🤯 “Forget it, I’ll just check another hotel.”

Confused guests don’t convert.

The fix? Fewer, clearer rate plans.
Simple sells.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

Too Many Rates, Too Little Profit? Let’s Talk. 💸

Your hotel’s rate plans should work for you — not against you.

But if your booking page looks like a menu with 15 flavours of the same dish, you’re not impressing anyone. You’re confusing guests, slowing down your team, and leaving money on the table.

More options ≠ more revenue. In fact, the opposite might be true.

Over the next few days, I’ll show you exactly how simplifying your rate plans can boost your profits — and make your life a whole lot easier.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

Fix Your Pricing, Fix Your Future

If you want to double your growth rate and increase margins by 25-40%, the fastest way isn’t chasing new guests—it’s fixing your pricing.

In my view, smart pricing isn’t about being aggressive—it’s about being aligned:
✔️ With your value.
✔️ With your target guests.
✔️ With your long-term business goals.

I recommend: Take a hard look at your pricing strategy today—and ask yourself:
➡️ Are we charging what we’re worth—or what we think guests will tolerate?

Pricing with confidence changes everything.

Have a profitable week.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

Underpricing Limits Your Growth

Let me be clear: You can’t cut your way to success.

My experience tells me that hotels stuck in a low-price mindset struggle to invest in upgrades, staff training, or marketing—because margins are too tight.

When you charge what you’re truly worth, you unlock the cash flow needed to:
✅ Improve your product.
✅ Elevate guest experiences.
✅ Invest in smarter technology and marketing.

In my view, pricing isn’t just a number—it’s your business growth engine.

Have a profitable week.

Today's Revenue Management thought:-

Cheap Prices Attract the Wrong Guests

In my observations, hotels that consistently underprice end up attracting the most price-sensitive guests—the ones who demand the most while spending the least.

When you price confidently, you naturally filter for guests who value what makes your property special—location, service, design, experience—not just the lowest rate.

In my view, the goal isn’t to appeal to everyone. It’s to attract the right guests for your brand.

I recommend: Set prices that match your story, and watch the quality of your bookings improve.

Have a profitable week.
