When to raise rates vs when to hold
Dynamic pricing is about matching price to demand. This simulator uses occupancy and lead time to suggest a rate adjustment from your base rate (BAR). It’s especially useful for independent hotels that want a simple repeatable approach without complex forecasting models.
If you’re close to arrival and already high occupancy, raising rates is often safer because remaining inventory is scarce. If you’re far out and occupancy is low, try improving distribution and value first (better photos, clearer policies, packages) before discounting aggressively.
