FW: RevMax Meeting for 6/03

 
RevMax Meeting for   6/ 03   
        

Ira -Central Reservations

Review of weekly reports at RevMax.  Any updates to Denials and Regrets?

Discussion on Lower ADR's coming through. Ira stated that there are no concerns about Central Reservations quoting lower rates than what is in the system.  

 For Next week - 

- Confirm June's situations with LMD's And Free Suite Upgrades

 

Forecast 

-June came in under LW by $19,000 and is under budget by $302,675.

We are very concerned about June's ADR.  We typically can maximize a higher ADR in June by pushing our Suite spread strategies. June is normally a high ADR month for the city. The economic downturn has pushed Denver into dramatic rate wars that are already showing an impact on June.  Currently the  ADR  is under budgeted by $ 49.00 

-July came in  under last week by $ 43,000 and is now forecasting to be  under budget by $ 93,828.

-August came over last week by $ 13,000We are now forecasting under budget by $ 91,480.

 

Many of our budget's decreased when we introduced a lower BAR strategy for the summer. We are now increasing rates as occupancy's increase. This should eventually allow us to show some potential gains in ADR.

 

GRC

 

June   

-  Decreased by $ 2,471 to last week.

-  We are now in jeopardy of not hitting our target of $110,000 under budget.  This may go up to $156,000 under budget.   

 Pace and fall off and  is impacting our  on the books groups.  

 

July

 Decreased by $ 7,663 to last week 

-We are forecasting to come in under budget by $40,000 

 

 August

 Increased by  $2, 082. We are forecasting to come in under budget by $40,000.

-  We do have a  verbal on a IRS training group that would be worth about $270,000.

 

 LMD's   

 

No LMD's for June 

We  closed out our Suite Upgrades for the weekends. 

Discuss LMD's for June 

 

 Promo Channels -  Expedia   Travelocity  Travel Zoo  Orbits  Priceline   

#1 in Rooms and Revenue for Expedia last week.

We discussed the concept of when to shut of or increase rates for the future.

 -Travel Zoo has been going very well .       

  -Kayak

    -We are running the same program on Kayak at $500 each month on their Pay Per Click for the 2nd Q.

 

 -Google we are running a pay per click program at $500 a month. 

     -I believe Mike will set this one up as a register to win. 

 

-Face Book we are running a pay per click program at $500 a month.

    -I believe Mike will set this one up as a register to win.

 

 

Weekly STAR 

Denver 

 Weekly STAR for Sunday May 17, 2009 to Saturday May 23, 2009

·         A little better than last week - 96% index on Occ / 91% on rate = 87% index on RevPar

·         Trans was 132% index +2% change / Group was 46% index -42% change

·         Comp set was down -20% vs. we were down -35% = -20% change in RevPar index

     ·         Small Comp set was down -38% vs. we were down -35% = +5% change in that RevPar index 

Hotelligence

For the month of April of 09 we came in at 106 as compared to LY's 92%.  YTD we are running a 11 1% index as compared to LY at  68%. Our ranking was number  3 of 9 for  April and 3 of 9 for the year.

We finished 2008 at 86% Index and finished 2007 at a 98% Index.

Highlights:  

Finish review with Sarah and Keli from Travel Click.

  • We are requesting to see the top 150 vs. the top 60. We believe that there is more low hanging fruit to be annualized.
  • We are ordering a one time Monthly Hoteligence for May to reflect our 2nd comp set.

Future Hotelligence  

June  -   Went up to 4 of  9 as compared to LW  to 5 of 9.  Weekdays  increased to  3 of 9. Weekends  increased to 5 of 9 .

July  -   Stated flat at 7 of  9 as compared to LW  to  7 of 9.  Weekdays   stayed flat at 6 of 9. Weekends  stayed flat at 6 of 9 .

    We need to watch our losses in   7/1, 7/5 to 7/11, 7/13 to 7/14, 7/24 to 7/30.

 

 Upsell Program   Nor1   

-  Continue discussion o the effect of the Suite Upgrade Program and Keeping Fireplace suites available for upgrades.  

Is now working just fine. We will pick up just over $1,000 for this program in the month of May. 

  

 Strategies  & Follow up      

-  Continue Suite Upgrade discussion. 

-  Review weekend situations with LMD's And Free Suite Upgrades  for June. 

- Continue to audit future Black out dates  

 

-Advance Purchase Guarantees for all Promo's and LMD's

 

- Few rooms pick up by Market Segment. We found many promo rates coming in 6/20 to 6/26 over the Transducers Conference being held at the Sheraton.

 

-Challenge ourselves on closing the ADR gap.
