                  Unlocking Success: Proven Strategies for Hotel Revenue Management Excellence

                  In the dynamic landscape of the hospitality industry, understanding and optimizing ancillary revenue is a game-changer for hotels. But what exactly is ancillary revenue, and how can you enhance it at your establishment?

                  Ancillary revenue refers to the income generated by selling products, services, or experiences beyond the primary accommodation offering. Think of it as the additional revenue streams that can significantly contribute to your hotel’s bottom line.

                  This comprehensive guide unveils the secrets to increasing ancillary revenue in your hotel. From identifying potential opportunities to implementing effective strategies, we’ll explore the key steps that can propel your property to new heights of profitability.

                  Join us on this journey to unlock the full potential of ancillary revenue and transform your hotel’s financial landscape. Discover innovative approaches and practical tips that will empower you to boost profits and provide added value to your guests.

                  What is Ancillary Revenue?

                  Ancillary revenue is any amount that is generated when you sell any goods or services at your hotel. This revenue is different from your hotel’s main services or offerings as a company.

                  What is Ancillary Revenue in the Hotel Industry?

                  • Anywhere that has drinks, such as the hotel’s lobby bar or a mini-bar in the rooms.
                  • Revenue is generated from entertainment activities, such as tickets for sporting events, concerts, theatres, etc.
                  • Upselling of activities and tours at the reception. Ancillary revenue in this category can come from anything: tours to local sites, guided visits, day tours, water sports, and more. Here’s our A-Z guide on upselling for hotels.
                  • Offering room upgrades, providing guests access to VIP lounges and concierge services.
                  Room upgrade in a hotel
                  Offering room upgrades is probably the best way to generate additional revenue

                  How to Boost Ancillary Revenue with Hotel Guests?

                  Now that you’ve got some ideas on how to boost your ancillary revenue through various examples, the question remains: how to best sell them to your guests?

                  Here are some tips to get you started:

                  • Get creative with added value offers: packaged rates are a great way to motivate guests to pre-buy something they might be interested in doing anyway (ie: Room + Breakfast package).
                  • Upsell at the time of booking on your website (ie: room upgrade at a discounted rate). This feature can come in quite handy during post-booking and pre-arrival of your guests. You can communicate special offers and possible options to make their stay better. This can be done via instant messaging or email! For this, here’s an up-selling software that can be very useful!
                  • Ensure every area of your hotel is implicated with the others: the bar should upsell the restaurant, the tour desk should upsell the SPA, and so on.

                  There’s one important thing we need to remind you of: Your guests always come first!

                  Creating and delivering a wonderful experience for travelers should be your number one priority. Creating ancillary revenue is good for the business but make sure you don’t generate that extra by taking away from the paying customers. There’s a fine line that you need to walk when it comes to ancillary revenue.

                  How to Increase Ancillary Revenue with Non-staying Guests?

                  A great way of increasing your ancillary revenue is to find under-utilized areas within the hotel and think of creative ways to offer them to non-staying guests. These areas include:

                  Co-working in Lobby and Meeting Rooms

                  Set up co-working areas in your lobby or meeting rooms during slow periods. Allow people who work from home to come by and have a change of scenery. Models like WeWork are increasingly popular with people working remove. Hence, dipping into this segment is quite great as it has potential and only a minimal cost.

                  Look for various websites where you can advertise them or come up with a creative campaign straight on the hotel’s website.

                  Open up your Gym

                  Opening the gym up to people living close by during low season or any season depending on how busy the gym gets, is another great way to generate ancillary revenue.

                  The facility is already there, and unless towels are provided, there is no extra cost attached to them. If you want to take it a step further, think about adding some yoga, pilates, or boxing classes to boost attendance and make it more fun.

                  Gym equipment in a hotel
                  Your gym can easily generate additional revenue if you let non-guests use it

                  Ensure your Restaurant is Successful on its Own

                  If you have a restaurant that offers a dinner menu, why not open it up for the public too? Create a special seasonal menu to attract more people and keep them coming back. Alternatively, you can even offer delivery services or pick up from the restaurant for people who want to order.

                  During the pandemic, people got used to ordering food, and if you have a set or pre-made menu, it’s simple to sell this to non-hotel guests as well. Brand the restaurant well, and you can treat it as its own business.

                  Use and Advertise Gardens

                  Gardens are the most under-utilized space in the hotel when in reality, many things can be done with just a little imagination. For example, host children’s birthdays, sell picnics or garden parties or rent this space to photographers for photoshoots. As long as it’s well-maintained and pretty, the possibilities are unlimited.

                  SPA, Golf course, or Casino

                  This is quite self-explanatory. Allow non-staying guests to utilize these facilities that have a great way of driving additional revenue just by making it a bit less exclusive.

                  The majority of the time, these facilities are already open to the public. However, if your property still keeps these areas exclusively for guest usage, give it a try during low season and open it up to the public.

                  Tools like PMS (Property Management System) and CM (Channel Manager) only assist lodging establishments in operating more simply, saving time, and being more efficient compared to not using them. However, that is not the root of growth or the challenges faced in the accommodation business. If you want to effectively manage OTA channels and create stable growth, you should have a clear understanding of how OTA platforms operate, such as their nature, operational models, and how they display, calculate displayed prices, and collect prices (after deducting commissions). Of course, larger hotels that want to approach it systematically will do it synchronously from the beginning, but smaller lodging establishments wanting to reduce operational costs should overlook it and focus on optimizing display and providing outstanding customer care.
