STRATEGIC PLANNING
Pricing Strategy and Revenue Management with data-driven tools
directly impact a company’s HR strategy
How can the pricing strategy be developed in the most optimal way?
How, why, and at what price discount be differentiated for different customers?
Companies devote insufficient time and energy to an appropriate pricing strategy, including revenue management. Approximately 84% of hotels do not use dynamic pricing strategy, thereby losing nearly 5-9% of additional revenue, and this is just one of many examples.
A significant number of companies are still “stuck” to Cost-Based Pricing, this way giving a considerable advantage to their competitors using innovative pricing techniques. Many owners and CEOs believe that there is not much point in optimizing revenue since the company is profitable. If the question phrased: “Has the company got the most out of the revenue?” I.e. “have they maximized their revenue?” You would probably get the answer that there are still provisions, but they do not know where.
COVID-19 pointed out fundamental deficiencies:
- Companies did not know, even now do not know how much financial damage they have suffered because they do not sufficiently understand their data, segments and products. They only use template reports provided by huge databases.
- Cost-based pricing has become obsolete because costs have changed. The routine mindset which has been used needs to be replaced by data-driven thinking.
- Daily operational decisions must be supported by new reports based on extensive and complex market data. Only 17% of companies in Hungary are in a position to do this.
- Revenue management is outdated and inaccurate.
- Communication during the pandemic was in many cases chaotic inside and outside the company.
