Top 5 Must-Have Features in Revenue Management Software (RMS) to Maximize Hotel Revenue

Revenue Management Software (RMS) is a game-changer for hotels and businesses aiming to optimize pricing strategies, maximize revenue, and stay competitive in today’s fast-paced market. The right RMS uses AI-driven insights, automation, and real-time data to make informed pricing decisions and boost profitability.

However, not all revenue management systems are created equal. With so many tools available, it’s essential to understand what features truly drive performance. In this blog, we break down the five most critical features of effective RMS that help hotels and businesses unlock their full revenue potential.

1. Dynamic Pricing: The Ultimate Revenue Maximization Tool

Dynamic pricing software is the cornerstone of any modern revenue management system. Unlike static or manual pricing models, AI-powered dynamic pricing adjusts rates based on real-time market data, competitor pricing, customer demand, and inventory availability.

Key Benefits of Dynamic Pricing:

Automated pricing updates without manual input

Real-time responsiveness to market shifts and demand spikes

Increased profitability through intelligent, optimized pricing

This feature is essential for industries like hospitality, travel, retail, and airlines, where pricing decisions must be agile, competitive, and profit-driven.

2. Open Pricing: Maximize Revenue Across Segments & Channels

Open pricing allows you to independently set prices for different room types, customer segments, and distribution channels—unlike traditional BAR (Best Available Rate) models, which apply a single rate across all segments.

Why Open Pricing Matters:

Optimize pricing individually per channel and segment

Avoid revenue loss by never closing inventory

Charge different prices for high-demand segments or packages

Hotels using open pricing strategies can increase conversions across OTAs, direct bookings, corporate clients, and group sales.

3. Real-Time Price Optimization: Stay Ahead of Market Fluctuations

Real-time price optimization helps hotels react instantly to competitor rates, market changes, and booking patterns—unlike traditional RMS tools that run on scheduled updates.

Benefits of Real-Time Optimization:

Immediate response to market demand and competitor changes

Prevent revenue leakage due to slow rate updates

Maintain optimal pricing 24/7

For high-demand seasons or last-minute bookings, real-time RMS capabilities can make or break profitability.

4. Pricing Boundaries: Control Meets Flexibility

While automation is crucial, setting pricing boundaries (minimum and maximum rates) ensures your RMS doesn’t go beyond acceptable limits—protecting brand integrity and profitability.

How Pricing Controls Help:

Prevent erratic price fluctuations

Align pricing with business goals and financial limits

Maintain pricing stability during peak or low-demand periods

Hotels can automate intelligently while keeping a strategic grip on pricing decisions.

5. 24-Month Pricing & Forecasting: Long-Term Revenue Planning

The best RMS tools provide 24-month forecasting—allowing hotels to analyze trends and set future rates proactively instead of reactively.

Why Long-Term Forecasting Is Essential:

Capture early bookings and maximize advance revenue

Plan for seasonality, events, or economic trends

Drive smarter decisions through data-backed foresight

Long-range planning ensures your hotel stays ahead—especially during festivals, holiday seasons, or peak travel periods.

Why Revenue Management Software is Crucial for Hotels

In the hospitality industry, Revenue Management Software (RMS) is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. From room pricing optimization to inventory distribution, RMS helps hotels:

Boost direct bookings and OTA revenue

Optimize inventory allocation to prevent overbooking

Enhance guest personalization with data-driven insights

Reduce manual workload with automated decisions

Stay competitive in a price-sensitive market

Flying Private

Being a public figure came with a price – little to no privacy, secrecy, crazy paparazzi – it seamed to be a nightmare, but hidden in-between it’s flaws Alexia found some perks.

The Catalan star’s crazy schedule didn’t help her private life, love life out of the window – for now – Alexia focused on her public appearances, helping women’s football grow.

Trip to Paris here, quick appearance in Rome, little interview in London – Alexia was everywhere.

Behind the scenes, a key piece of the puzzle; Y/N Y/L/N. Joan Laporta’s loyal pilot. They had grown close over the years and when Joan became Fc Barcelona’s president – for a second time – he invited Y/N on the journey.

And so it began, Y/N flew all Barcelona players to every corner in the world; preseason in the USA, basketball games here, European football matches there. Y/N was crucial for Fc Barcelona to keep everyone’s public appearances up while allowing them to get the optimal rest before crucial games.

With Y/N’s little vacation possibilities, Laporta offered the pilot a compromise – whenever the plane was land-bound Y/N was able to do as she pleased. The possibility to travel all over the world, stay at the best hotels, eat the best food; it was Y/N’s dream job.

Unluckily for Y/N, the latest trip to Madrid came with a personal compromise; Y/N had to step in and replace a security member’s role.

All plans out the window now, the loyal pilot followed orders to a T – shadowing the Catalan star during the three day trip, keeping an eye out during meals, making sure that whenever Alexia sneaked out she returned safe and sound.

That night the midfielder’s annoyance at the lack of personal space was noticeable – add that she was in a foul mood and you get an explosive combination; and explode she did. Now safe and sound at the hotel, both Alexia and Y/N were at the bar. The pilot kept a safe distance from the midfielder.

“Is shadowing people like you’re a lost puppy a habit of yours or have you reserved it only for me?” Alexia asked as she approached the pilot, annoyance in her tone.

“I see that your evening has calmed down – for now at least – I will leave you with the remaining security team.” Y/N replied, pointing to the two security guards of the hotel, downing the rest of her drink she added “And seen as how you’re in a foul mood, I will take this opportunity to go and get my well deserved rest in”

The indifference that radiated off of Y/N’s voice was palpable, many people would describe it as cocky – arrogant even – but Alexia found it intriguing.

The Catalan star grew accustomed to everyone treating her a certain way; admiration and love in their voices whenever someone approached her, but Y/N? The pilot treated Alexia like she was any other Joe in the world.

Sitting at the bar now, the midfielder was dumbfounded – watching how the pilot walked away, not even looking back once – she was bamboozled.

Replaying the interaction over and over, Alexia was stuck looking for ways to get back in the good graces of the pilot. The midfielder knew she had to apologize for her bad behavior.

Early in the morning, Alexia made her way to one of Spain’s most famous bakeries: El Riojano. Getting some delicious Spanish pastries, among them Y/N’s favorite: ensaimada, a mallorcan specialty. Alexia made her way back to the hotel – crossing path with the pilot at reception, Y/N didn’t say a word.

Later on, as everyone boarded the private jet headed back to Barcelona, Alexia carefully placed the paper bag filled with pastries on the seat closest to the cabin. At first, Y/N looked at the bag from afar but as she made her way to the front of the plane, she inspected it – looking for it’s owner.

“Is this anybodies?” The pilot asked, looking around a sneaky Putellas popped her head up “I got those for you, a little gift to make up for my behavior yesterday” the midfielder sneaked a cheeky smile in.

For the first time, Y/N didn’t display indifference towards the Barcelona star “Thank you, they are my favorite” the pilot stated to which, very quietly – as Y/N made her way to the cabin – the midfielder whispered “I know”

And thus a tradition was born. During the season, Alexia would go out of her way to purchase Y/N’s favorite pastries, placing them on the seat closest to the cabin. It was their little ritual.

One morning – on one of Fc Barcelona Femenis champions league trips – the team discretely inspected Alexia’s delivery.

“What was that about?” Pati asked, taking the seat besides the Catalan midfielder “What was what?” Alexia played it cool, but her face spoke louder. The midfielder was blushing, looking everywhere but into Patri’s eyes.

“Feeling shy?” Mapi mocked her captain.

This was new for everyone – Alexia included. Usually, she was the bold, direct type; but with Y/N she forgot how to act. Luckily for the midfielder, Y/N was oblivious to the mocking – and as she made her way to the cabin – the pilot picked the little paper bag up, taking one of the ensaimada out and straight into her mouth it went. Sending Alexia a thank you head-nod as she greeted the co-pilot.

It all made sense now.

“OMG” Pina was shocked “You’re sleeping with our pilot??” the mini Putellas asked, the rest of the team waited anxiously for an answer.

“It’s not like that” Alexia defended her situation “I – I just”

Mapi came in like a bolder, mockingly nudging at her captain’s arm “She might have done her ACL in, but girly is still out here scoring” the defender joked.

“Shhhh” Putellas was embarrassed, not wanting Y/N to hear any of the teams shenanigans – for however true they were – she distracted them.

“Yeah yeah… maybe it would be best” Paños stepped in “We wouldn’t want the pilot to be distracted” she further mocked.

Let's Talk About Hazbin Hotel

Just a casual review. Hazbin Hotel's been coming up on my Tumblr dash a lot, and there's been some controversy around it. So I decided to give it a try.

(Note: I haven't engaged with anything that came out before its Amazon Prime debut)

To summarize: it's pretty okay. The animation is great and the songs are bangers. The plot is pretty solid; there are some hiccups but in only eight episodes it does pretty well in world building.

Though I guess that's where we have our first problem. Eight 23 minute episodes doesn't mean a lot of time for our characters to be fleshed out. Sure Angel Dust, Husk, Sir Pentious, Alastor, and even Lucifer get their moments. And don't get me wrong, that's great. But I feel a lot of that could have been geared towards our main characters: Charlie and Vaggie.

Let me just say, I love Charlie and I think she's well-written for the most part. She's flawed, but wants the best for the people around her. And that's great. That being said, it doesn't feel like we've gotten a real deep dive into who she is. What gave her the idea to redeem sinners in the first place? How has she interacted with the people of hell prior to the hotel? We know she helped Vaggie when she was injured, did that come before or after her idea for the hotel?

(If any of this is answered in the pilot, I'm sorry. But there's a good chance new fans like myself didn't watch the pilot either)

The most introspection we get into her character are Husk's offhand comment about her bleeding heart who focuses on others' problems instead of her own and Rosie mentioning her "moxie." And those things are being told to us, not shown to us. It's hard to view her as complex, though I am holding out hope that we'll get more into her in the next season especially with Lilith's inevitable return. I'm eager to see her grow more as a leader.

(I also hope they explore her temper. For me, that's when she's at her most dynamic. Feminine rage ftw)

Now, onto Vaggie.

I'm sorry, but I really can't get into her character at all. She's mean and untrusting and... that's it? Unlike Charlie she doesn't seem to have any defining character traits. No goals or aspirations that don't have to do with Charlie's. And even then, she doesn't display a lot of confidence in her, consistently doubting Charlie's input and even outright refusing that some of the patrons can change. It's like she doesn't actually believe that sinners can be redeemed and only puts effort into the hotel at all for Charlie.

(This isn't a problem with Vaggie per se, but her encouraging Charlie to confront Valentino felt so off to me. She's supposed to be more levelheaded and rational than Charlie, so wouldn't she know that Charlie doesn't really hold that much power? Her and Lucifer are basically figureheads, the Overlords are the ones that really run Hell. Considering she's so distrustful of Alastor, Vaggie would know that right? So why push Charlie into being assertive against one?)

And this is a direct contradiction to what is being told to us about her character. She, as an exterminator, showed mercy to a sinner and paid the price for it. If she believed that the child she spared was worth sparing, she should have some optimism that sinners deserve a second chance. But outside of hyping Charlie up, that's never shown to us.

Even in Scrambled Eggs- an episode that was centered around her- doesn't tell us much about her. Just that she's a semi-competent fighter who learned trust the "hard way." But nothing about her growing closer to the residents- despite being entrusted to teach them trust- just a song about her love and devotion to Charlie.

And I know that this is supposed to be her parallel to Carmilla and that the duet sets up their meeting later. But Vaggie's goals being so focused on Charlie and not the hotel or the residents means that there's such a disconnect here. Carmilla is singing for her daughters (and even Zestial), but it's also for all of Hell. She wants to keep them out of unnecessary war. Her goal has different facets to it while Vaggie's is extremely one-way.

To put it simply: Vaggie is boring.

And it's because of these things that I really can't get into Chaggie. It's... Okay. I guess. There's so little focus on it that outside of the reveal that Vaggie's an angel, it doesn't hold a lot of relevance throughout the show, good or bad. They could have been best friends and nothing would have changed.

If I'm being completely honest, Charlie has more interesting relationships with everyone else: Alastor, Lucifer, Angel, and even Emily who wasn't even on screen with her for that long.

(Unapologetically a RoyalHalo shipper. Also an Emily stan)

Speaking of Emily, I love what they're setting her up for. It seems like she'll either Fall like Lucifer and join Charlie in Hell or take over Heaven from Sera and work with Charlie to bring a better system. Either way, I'm excited for what they'll do with her.

Although I have to say, even though I love You Didn't Know, I do have some things to say about it and the whole trial scene.

As I said, the Hazbin Hotel songs are good. There's no denying that. But a few of them- like YDK- kind of hinder the plot. There's so much going on in this scene- so many important revelations- that it being a song I feel undercuts that. Like Emily finding out about Extermination Day and confronting Sera about it could have used a lot more attention. Her and Charlie aligning themselves together, while freaking amazing to listen to, kind of comes out of nowhere. Even- especially- Vaggie being revealed as an angel to Charlie is a lot less intense being sung through a song.

(It still slaps though)

But a lot of songs also have the opposite effect. More Than Anything, Poison, and Loser Baby convey exactly what they're trying to. You feel the emotion and flaws of these characters, you feel the pure connection/strife.

(Songs like Hell's Greatest Dad and Respectless are for fun and do help move the story along. They also give us a glimpse into the characters. I could do without some of them, especially because that time could be better spent, but they're still fun to listen to and watch. Respectless is so fucking good man)

I'm excited to see more of Lilith and her relationships with Charlie and Lucifer. It's implied during MTA that she was the one fostering the distance between Lucifer and Charlie. I wonder if that was intentional or just through Charlie's/Lucifer's POV. Also, her being gone at the same time Alastor was is definitely hinting at her being the one who has him on a leash.

Sir Pentious in heaven🥹 I don't have a lot to say about it, it just made me happy

All in all... Pretty good. Enough to keep me engaged. Looking forward to the next season👍🏾

[seramilla]

I have two images of Charlie learning Vaggie used too date Emily. One is back off she's mine. The other is guilt did she steal Vaggie from Emily the two had been dating before Vaggie fell and its not like they stopped because they broke up but because Emily thought Vaggie was dead and had no way to contact her. Is she keeping Vaggie from who she should be with. (I suspect after learning about everything Sera and Emily offered to let Vaggie stay in heaven where it's safe and also with Emily but Vaggie turned it down because she didn't want to abandon the hotel when they need it most.) It’s probably a mix of the two Charlie feels guilty whenever she thinks about it but has her horns out whenever she sees Emily around Vaggie.

Charlie is still reeling from the sheer chaos that had been her and Vaggie's meeting with Heaven. Not only had her attempts to make a case for Angel Dust's redemption been thrown back in her face in spectacular fashion, Adam had said he'd specifically be targeting her hotel in a mere month's time. And absolutely worst of all, her girlfriend, her partner, the love of her life, had been lying to her for years. Not only is she actually an angel, an Exterminator, to boot, but she also already has a partner, from a former life that Charlie knows absolutely nothing about.

To say things can't be worse would be an understatement. All of Charlie's optimism and hope, the very future she had envisioned for her people, is smashed. Dashed across the rocks into a million tiny pieces; there are so many, she cannot conceive of a way to put them back together again. She turns over in bed, where she's currently swaddled in her bedsheets like an infant. She's spent all day in here; unable to face Vaggie, unable to ask her how she could lie to her for so long, and treat her like she's the most precious thing in her life, when she already has a partner waiting for her back home.

Home...not with Charlie, but in Heaven, with her...Emily. The thought makes her sob again, and she's already done more than enough of that today. She usually feels better after a good cry; especially when it's into Vaggie's shoulder, with her hand patting her back, telling her it's okay. Right now, the effort seems pointless. It does help her clear her head in the moment, but it's short-lived when the feelings come rolling back in like a tide an hour or so later.

She wants Vaggie here with her, helping her try to process everything they'd learned in Heaven, like she normally does. She should have heeded Vaggie's warning...should have listened to her, and never gone up there. Maybe then she'd still be clueless; there is some happiness to be found in naïveté, after all. Maybe then she'd never have found out she only had half of Vaggie's heart.

A part of her knows that's unfair; it's not Vaggie's fault she fell. She saved a literal child from the end of an Exterminator's spear. And the price she'd paid was beyond anything Charlie thinks a person ever deserves to experience. She's been through so much pain and trauma in the last 3 years, and realistically, probably never thought she'd see Emily again. She'd tried to move on with her life, and make a new purpose with Charlie's cause, and a new home with her.

Charlie smiles, thinking of all the things they've been through together in such a short time. Her life spans hundreds of years, but somehow, the last 3 have been the most meaningful, the most joyful, the most special of all of them. She'd never give any of that up. And while her heart hurts, and she feels a little resentment toward Emily, she knows it's not the Seraphim's fault, either. All three of them are simply victims of circumstance; a really fucked up series of events. They just have to learn to move on from it.

Emily had been so nice to her; welcomed her, showed her around, treated her like some kind of celebrity, despite who her father is. She'd stood up for Angel when no one else in the angelic court would. If Vaggie had seen something in her, once...then she can't be a bad person. And if they're going to make her plan work, they need an ally on the inside. Even if it's awkward, or hurts her to work together...she thinks she may have to try. For Vaggie, and for herself, and most importantly, for the very souls of her people.

All of God's Angels p. 3/5

I think you will like His newest creation, Gabriel mused. I��ve foreseen a challenge for you. An equal. A partner, tall and beautiful and terrible, and crowned in red. // Or Lucifer tries to save a life, and ends up making a deal instead.

All parts up on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53800450/chapters/136173307

Contrary to popular belief, Lucifer hadn’t always hated humans. Truth be told, he still didn’t. He was disappointed in their bloody, chaotic, meaningless choices, but he didn’t think they were all bad. 

Humans fought. They felt. They changed. They dreamed. Angels, on the other hand, were like static figurines, perfect from inception, nothing but boring old tools meant to forge the Father’s holy vision. 

Was it little wonder why he was so drawn to Alastor? On the outside, the demon was everything he despised about humanity. He was cruel and sadistic to the extreme, selfish and cutthroat. Hell had been made to contain sinners like him. He was exactly why Lucifer regretted setting Eve free — the embodiment of greed and pride and pain for the sake of pain.

But he was also everything Lucifer loved about humans. The ingenuity. The ambition. He could sing like the goddamn stars and whip out a sonnet or two after. He was genteel and sophisticated, with a quick wit and a silver tongue sharp enough to cut the Devil. And he was already starting to change – not a lot, not at his core, but the gentle atmosphere of the hotel and Charlie’s endless optimism were softening his hard edges. 

A monster and a gentleman. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, for the price of one. Had there ever been a more fascinating man? 

He could not die. He could not die. Not now, not when Lucifer had just found him. 

But oh, Death was close. Lucifer could feel his scythe trembling nearby, ready to swing. This injury…even in the dim light of the fireflies, he could see it ran to the very heart of Alastor. Literally. His chest gaped open where Adam’s blast had run him through, exposing him down to his very bones and his twitching cardiac muscles. An inch to the left, and he would have never walked away from the battle. An open heart, flayed open for all the world to see! 

Good Lord, the strength it must have taken to walk around as if nothing was wrong. Lucifer shuddered, blanching at the mere thought. If their positions had been reversed, would he be able to do such a thing?

(No. He wouldn’t.)

“This isn’t a freak show, my good fellow,” his radio static came from the darkness, somehow, impossibly, still measured and even. “If you’ve got an opinion, now’s the time to share it.”

“Y-y-you–” Lucifer shook his head, annoyed at the stutter. How was he the one showing weakness when Alastor was laid up in bed with his chest carved in half? “It hasssn’t healed at all!”

He stopped abruptly at the hiss and felt his tongue. It was forked. What the Hell? Slowly, he reached up and felt his head…where twin horns protruded from under his hat. 

He’d transformed? When? 

With an effort, he managed to shrink himself back to his normal shape, puzzled at his complete lack of control. That kind of behavior was unlike him. 

“I assumed that’s what you were here for,” came the exasperated reply. “Considering angelic power is your area of expertise, not mine.” 

“I’ll need to come closer–” 

“No need. You can see perfectly fine from where you are.” 

“I can’t help you if I can’t see!” Lucifer snapped.

“Then leave.”

Static and green symbols flashed across the room. The muggy warmth of the bayou turned ice cold as a surge of shadow swept the door open. It banged mournfully on its hinges, letting out a ghostly wail of protest. 

Lucifer straightened, feeling his own fire flicker in response. “Do you really want to die so badly? Why are you being so goddamn stubborn?”

“Why. Are. You?” 

Twin radio dials lit up the far corner with a hellish red beam. Lucifer could see Alastor’s face in full for the first time – and it scared him. 

He wasn’t scared for Alastor. He was scared for himself.

Alastor was grinning. It was the smile of the void, the smile of the shadow and the dark and the monster beneath your bed a second before they struck. It was the smile of a Dealmaker, right before they revealed their hand. Somehow, impossibly, it was Alastor that held all the cards – even though it was Alastor who was knocking on Death’s door. 

How? How the Hell was he doing it? 

And maybe something was deeply wrong with Lucifer, but he found himself leaning forward, a shock of affection washing over his long-dead heart. This was what it meant to be human. This is why he gave Eve the apple. 

All that potential. Finally realized.

Then Alastor said it. Those famous last words. “Let’s make a deal, shall we?” 

Lucifer gulped, his heart beating double time. He was sure Alastor could hear it. “A deal? For my soul?” He was torn between laughing incredulously at Alastor’s sheer gall and fighting the urge to finish the job Adam had started. Did he even have a soul to give?

(Why was he even considering it?)

“Why no! Why must everyone jump to such severe conclusions?” The fucker sounded downright jolly. “Just a gentleman’s agreement, that’s all. A promise for a promise. No souls involved!” 

“And why should I agree to that? I’m trying to help you.” 

“Yes, that’s true. But you seem rather…insistent on this healing business. And while I must admit I’m in a hurry to, ah, be whole again – I’m in no hurry to do it your way!”

Lucifer gaped. “You must be joking. You’re bleeding out in front of me!” 

“A small miscalculation. I’ve gotten out of worse scrapes before, I assure you.” 

Was he bluffing? Was he serious? Try as he might, Lucifer couldn’t get a read on him. Alastor was like this – always half-there, a shadow that flitted away every time he tried to get close, defying reason, defying explanation. 

Would he really risk death – just to one up him? 

Lucifer didn’t know. And Jesus flipping Christ , why did that excite him so much?

There was no reason for him to play the Radio Demon’s games. He could leave. He could leave right now and he opened his mouth to tell that smug, no-good asshole exactly that –

But what came out of his mouth was, “What kind of a deal?” 

The air turned hot and sticky. Shadows swirled around him, barely-there faces licking their chops in anticipation. Alastor’s voice seemed to grow and deepen, his presence so thick it was a wonder Lucifer didn’t choke on it. “Like I said before, just a promise. You get to heal me, and I – well, I haven’t quite decided what I’d like to receive in return.” His smile was neon green and eager. “Perhaps you’ll take a carte blanche?”

The bastard wanted a blank check to cash in on a rainy day. That was dangerous. Lucifer would basically be handing him the keys to the castle. He couldn’t agree to this. 

“There must be something you want,” he tried to reason with the beast. “Power? Wealth? Your enemies destroyed, in a matter of seconds?” 

But Alastor, that black-hearted creature of the deep, shook his head. “My bargain, my terms, your Majesty . What do you say? Do we have a deal?”

He should leave. He needed to leave . But he could still hear Alastor’s lifeblood drip drip dripping away on the floorboards – see every beat of the man’s heart pulse against the muggy bayou air – sense Alastor’s power ebbing at the edges, being spun away into nothingness that even his jovial facade couldn’t hide…

Alastor had upped the stakes with his life. And Lucifer wasn’t quite willing to take that wager. 

“On one condition. I choose the method of healing. You aren’t allowed to fight me on it.” 

Alastor pondered those terms for a minute, then held out his hand. 

“We have a deal.”

One Hundred Years Ago, Cincinnati Radio Was Still Trying To Get Its Act Together

New technologies consistently discombobulate the social order. So it was when some canny entrepreneurs began exploring the potential of this new-fangled sensation called radio. The electronic medium was so shockingly different from anything that came before, many graybeards announced radio was only a transient mania. The Cincinnati Post [6 March 1924] objected:

“In spite of current rumors that public enthusiasm over the radio is a ‘passing fad’ and is due for a slump, several electrical authorities who contributed to a survey of the sales for 1923 and to estimate the probable sales for 1924 reported that the sales this year are due to climb another $120,000,000.”

An editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer [20 July 1924] hailed the growing commercialization of radio and predicted only amazing improvements ahead:

“With new ideas, new apparatus and new experimenters appearing in the radio field each day, radio is entering the greatest year of its development.”

Despite such optimism, the situation on the airwaves suggested that radio had yet to get its act together. Even though Cincinnati’s newspapers devoted page after page to coverage of this emerging phenomenon – the Enquirer printed a 12-page radio section every Sunday throughout 1924 – getting access to radio was still something of a challenge.

Cincinnati’s Crosley Corporation offered bargain-basement radio sets for the low, low price of $10, but that still equates to $200 in today’s money. Top-of-the-line Wurlitzer sets, at $180 in 1924, would cost more than $3,000 today. Throughout the year, almost every issue of every Cincinnati newspaper printed wiring diagrams so readers could build their own crystal sets.

All of this excitement was occurring at a time when Cincinnati had only two part-time radio stations: WLW, owned by the Crosley Corporation, and WSAI, owned by U.S. Playing Cards in Norwood. Both of those stations broadcast on the same frequency, 309 meters (equivalent to 970 kilohertz).

On a typical day, WLW broadcast from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., then turned the airwaves over to WSAI from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., then WLW returned to the air until about midnight. The federal government back then assigned frequencies to cities, not to individual stations. All stations in each city had to share that city’s frequency.

In effect, every radio station was a clear-channel operation because no other stations operated on that frequency. Consequently, as listeners rotated their dials, they could enjoy broadcasts from throughout the continental United States. Cincinnati newspapers published radio schedules from New York, Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Los Angeles and other cities.

All was well until the end of May that year when a third radio station, WFBW (predecessor to WKRC), began broadcasting from the Hotel Alms on the assigned Cincinnati frequency. Since WLW and WSAI had mutually agreed to schedule around each other, there was little airtime left to allocate to this upstart. Negotiations went nowhere. Powel Crosley was unwilling to give up a single minute of his airtime. The dispute, dubbed “Battle of the Air” by the local press, was finally resolved when the feds reassigned WLW to the 423 meter (708 kilohertz) frequency. WLW had to share that frequency with WBAV out of Columbus, Ohio.

Another big development from 1924 was a lawsuit. Jerome F. Remick & Co., a New York music publishing company, sued WLW radio because the station broadcast a performance of the song, “Dreamy Melody,” copyrighted by Remick. United States District Judge Smith Hickenlooper dismissed the case in a victory for radio broadcasters. Hickenlooper’s legal logic demonstrates just how disruptive radio, as a new medium, could be. Grasping for any precedent, Judge Hickenlooper noted that player piano rolls do not violate copyright each time they are played. A year later, an appeals court tossed Hickenlooper’s opinion onto the judicial trash heap and the copyright debate dragged on for decades.

Ignoring the legal and administrative haggling, what did Cincinnatians listen to in 1924? The local airwaves carried some surprisingly curious programming back then, although access to radio stations was strictly limited to white folks.

For instance, a heartbeat. On 17 February 1924, Miss Frances C. Jones, employed by WSAI as an accompanist, made radio history by broadcasting the sound of her heart. Next day, the Cincinnati Post was exuberant:

“The heartbeats were audible to listeners all over the country. Persons living thousands of miles from Cincinnati reported the ‘thump-thumps’ were heard on loud speakers.”

A month later, WLW introduced a barking dog named Nana-Hats-Off who accompanied her owner, Dr. Glenn Adams, secretary of the Cincinnati Kennel Club, to promote a dog show at Music Hall.

Cincinnati stations broadcast a lot of talk, and much of it sounds rather soporific. WLW gave Municipal Judge W. Meredith Yeatman a half-hour to expound upon “Automobile and Traffic Ethics.” Bleecher Marquette of the Better Housing League rambled about residential conditions in Cincinnati. Every speech from the annual dinner of the Cincinnati Bankers Club was broadcast in its entirety, no doubt to the delight of the populace. Dr. W.A. McCubbin fulminated for most of an hour on WSAI against fungi and bacteria.

The really popular programs offered an unusual mix of music. There were piano recitals, chimes concerts, vocal sextettes singing “old-fashioned” songs, violin solos, and musical performances from Emery Auditorium and the downtown hotels. The really, really popular broadcasts featured that nascent abomination, jazz. Alfred Segal, longtime Cincinnati Post columnist who, under his penname Cincinnatus, was considered the conscience of the city, expressed his exasperation [13 March 1924]:

“Sometimes Cincinnatus wonders that the pure air does not rebel against the waves of jazz it must carry every night. Sometimes when he tunes in New York or Chicago, only to receive another saxophone blast, Cincinnatus says to himself, ‘Was this wonderful thing invented for this – to disturb the heavens with discord, to defy the stars with the noise of tinpans?’ If Mars is inhabited and if the inhabitants receive our radio concerts, they must often wonder at the nature of the earth-beings who fill the ether with such hideous sounds every night.”

Why Should We Consider Using Predictive Analysis in Travel?

This is a combination of past data along with present-day data, artificial intelligence and statistical models to forecast customers' expectations and market conditions in the travel industry. It is an evolutionary transformative approach that assists travel businesses in performing efficiently and providing customers with solutions tailored to their needs.

How Does Predictive Analysis Work in the Travel Industry?

The concept of predictive analysis for the travel industry is the use of complex patterns and statistical information from the past to estimate future actions, behaviors, and trends of consumers. The benefits of this technology are, therefore, increased efficiency of resource use and improved customer experience and revenue.

What Predictive Analytics is used in the Travel Industry?

Analytical models and artificial intelligence are incorporated with statistical methods in predictive analytics to analyze data about the past and the present in the travel industry. This enables travel companies to forecast customer requirements and market development and even enhance their organizational effectiveness.

Data-Driven Decision-making Significance & Impact in Travels

This business intelligence tool guides travel organizations in making the right strategies by examining past customer data, market situations, and external circumstances such as climate or economic circumstances. This makes it possible for businesses to maintain their flexibility in highly competitive business environments.

Personalization Using Forecasting

Personalization is one of the main uses of predictive analytics. An understanding of customers’ needs helps travel businesses decide on such strategies as marketing messages, promotional destination suggestions, and variable high/low price options.

Improving Company’s Performance

Sensitivity to operational efficiency is another advantage. Airlines forecast their maintenance requirements so that unnecessary airplane out-of-service time is minimized whilst optimizing employees in a hotel to suit expected room use, leading to better service delivery and cost efficiency.

What are examples of predictive analytics in travel?

Several cases of Predictive Analysis in Travel reflect its applicability to various business issues, including the pricing strategy along with customer acceptance. Here are some details of this application across the industry.

Dynamic Pricing Strategies

Pricing for products or services is continually changing to meet the demand, influenced by features such as time of year, customer preferences, and trends. This happens in air ticketing services and hotel reservations.

Predicting Travel Demand

Predictive analytics relies on historical information as well as inputs received in real time to predict the demand for individual places or services. It enables travel companies to plan inventory and marketing ahead of time.

Customer Retention Analysis

Travel organizations apply big data techniques to switch customers who are likely to churn, and they do that by offering special loyalty programs or individual offers.

Managing Operational Risks

Aviation managers and transportation companies use forecasting techniques to prevent possible disasters like weather disturbances or equipment breakdowns and ensure a proper flow of operations.

Marketing Campaign

They aid marketing to get the optimum value for the amount invested to reach audiences that are likely to respond to a given campaign.

What Is AI for Predictive Analytics in Travel?

AI for predictive analytics in travel aims to analyze large volumes of data and extract patterns and insights that are useful in predicting travel trends. This is because it allows the business to double the ways through which it can better deliver, operate, and even forecast the market far better than any conventional.

What Are the Use Cases of Predictive Analysis in Travel?

Examples of the application of predictive analytics across the travel industry range from operational optimization to engagement. Looking at the data, challenges, and opportunities can be identified, and travel companies can then respond.

Airline Flight Plan / Flight Path Optimization

Predictive analytics helps airline companies fix the best routes and time to save costs and satisfy their customers.

Customer loyalty programs as a concept

Travel companies use the predictive model to create efficiencies in loyalty programs that appeal to regular traveling clientele.

The art of destination marketing needs to be enhanced.

Marketing departments within tourism boards and travel companies look for trends in data for the best places tourists are likely to visit when spending their money on travel and then market accordingly to avoid wasting the most amount of money on a particular place that no one wants to visit.

Conclusion: How Predictive Analysis Shapes the Travel Industry

The broad concept of using advanced data analysis to drive better decision-making, improve customer satisfaction, and improve operational performance has reshaped the travel industry. This is a strategy that enables a business entity to forecast the market needs and allocate resources in an appropriate manner to be in a position to design and deliver unique products to the market, hence very relevant to the current market environment.

However, in the future, as the industry moves forward, predictive analytics will be of higher importance when facing some of the issues, including demand volatility, organizational inefficiencies, and customer loyalty. Drawing upon the concepts of AI and machine learning, travel firms can forecast developments, control possible adverse effects, and ultimately tap into new sources of revenue.

Seal the Leaks: How Revenue Management Software Prevents Hidden Profit Loss

What Is Revenue Leakage and Why Is It Costing Your Business Money?

Revenue leakage is a silent profit killer. It refers to the unnoticed loss of potential revenue due to pricing errors, missed invoices, contract non-compliance, inefficient discounting, and poor tracking systems. In industries like hospitality, travel, retail, and SaaS, where margins are razor-thin and competition is fierce, even minor pricing mistakes can add up to massive losses over time.

According to studies, 42% of organizations are affected by revenue leakage, with an average loss of 9% of annual revenue—money that businesses should have earned.

What Is a Revenue Management System (RMS)?

A Revenue Management System (RMS) is a technology-driven software solution that helps businesses optimize pricing, forecast demand, and maximize profits using AI, machine learning, and data analytics. It automates complex revenue-related tasks, ensuring that your business captures every possible dollar while eliminating inefficiencies that lead to leakage.

Why Revenue Management Software Is Crucial for Hospitality and SaaS

Industries like hospitality, airlines, retail, and SaaS are especially vulnerable to revenue leakage due to dynamic pricing and high transaction volumes. Revenue management software provides:

Real-time demand forecasting

Dynamic pricing optimization

Contract and billing compliance

Revenue assurance

It empowers businesses to detect, prevent, and seal revenue leaks before they damage profitability.

Top Causes of Revenue Leakage in Business

Understanding where leaks occur is the first step to plugging them:

Pricing Errors: Incorrect pricing reduces margins and undermines profitability.

Manual Invoicing: Human errors and delays lead to missed or inaccurate payments.

Non-Compliance: Contractual obligations not followed due to poor monitoring.

Discount Abuse: Uncontrolled discounting erodes revenue over time.

Data Silos: Lack of integration causes delays and poor decision-making.

How Revenue Management Software Prevents Revenue Leakage

1. AI-Driven Pricing Optimization

RMS software like ZettaPrice continuously analyzes market demand, seasonality, customer behavior, and competitor pricing to dynamically adjust rates. This helps avoid underpricing or over-discounting, maximizing revenue opportunities.

2. Automated Contract and Compliance Monitoring

Revenue management systems automate contract tracking, invoice generation, and discount validation, ensuring every term is met and every dollar is accounted for.

3. Demand Forecasting and Inventory Management

Using predictive analytics, RMS forecasts demand trends to help businesses avoid overstocking or stockouts, both of which can lead to revenue loss.

4. Gap Detection and Data Transparency

These systems generate granular reports that highlight where leaks occur—be it in pricing, operations, or customer segments—so businesses can take data-driven actions to plug them.

Key Benefits of Implementing Revenue Management Software

✅ Increased Profitability

AI-based pricing ensures products and services are always priced optimally. For example, hotels can increase ADR (Average Daily Rate) during high demand and maintain occupancy in off-seasons.

✅ Operational Efficiency

Manual tasks like pricing updates, invoicing, and compliance tracking are automated, reducing human error and freeing up resources for more strategic functions.

✅ Personalized Customer Experience

RMS platforms use customer behavior data to enable dynamic pricing, targeted discounts, and custom offers, improving satisfaction and brand loyalty.

✅ Competitive Advantage

Real-time insights enable businesses to react faster to market shifts, outprice competitors, and stay ahead with agile decision-making.

✅ Better Decision-Making with Data

RMS provides dashboards and analytics to help identify new revenue opportunities, improve forecasting, and reduce financial risks.

How ZettaPrice RMS Stops Revenue Leakage

ZettaPrice Revenue Management Software offers a comprehensive solution to prevent revenue leakage by:

Optimizing prices using AI & market data

Eliminating manual pricing and invoicing errors

Automating discount approvals and compliance checks

Providing real-time insights into revenue gaps

With ZettaPrice, businesses can not only prevent financial losses but also unlock new revenue streams and build a sustainable pricing strategy.

Conclusion: Don’t Let Profits Slip Away

Revenue leakage is real—and costly. Businesses that continue to rely on manual systems or outdated pricing strategies risk bleeding profits silently. Implementing a robust Revenue Management System like ZettaPrice can be the game-changer your organization needs.

By leveraging AI-powered pricing tools, automated compliance monitoring, and data-driven insights, your business can prevent leaks, optimize pricing, and drive long-term profitability.

Proxies IPs make it easy to enjoy global deals

When traveling and touring, prices for the same flights and hotels can vary greatly from one part of the world to another. Users in different countries and regions often see different prices for the same flights and hotels due to the "Rotating Pricing" strategy implemented by major platforms based on geographic location. This is due to the "dynamic pricing" strategy implemented by major platforms based on geographic location. For ordinary users, we can use Proxies to log in to the booking platforms as a person from another country or region to see the real prices of different places and make the best booking decisions. In this article, we will introduce the application of Proxies in travel and hotel booking to help you find the most realistic prices.

1. How Proxies IP can help optimize travel and hotel bookings

Differences in prices by location

Many international travel platforms display prices based on a user's geographic location. For example, on platforms like Booking.com and Expedia, the same hotel room is often quoted differently for European and Asian users. Proxies IP can help you choose to display prices from other countries so that you can see offers and discounts from different regions.

Impact of Rotating Pricing

Travel platforms often employ Rotating pricing strategies, adjusting prices in real time based on market demand in each location. This is especially true during peak seasons or specific time periods. For example, when demand is high in a particular location, prices usually increase accordingly. With Proxies IPs, you can simulate access to low-demand areas, which gives you the opportunity to see better pricing options. This not only saves you money, but also helps you better plan your travel time and budget.

2. Find better travel prices through Proxies IPs

Flight Booking

Price Comparison: With Proxies IP, you can check prices for multiple countries separately. For example, the same flight may have different pricing in the US, Japan and Europe. Use Proxies IP to switch to these regions to get multiple quotes and compare them to choose the most suitable flight.

Seasonal price fluctuations: Proxies IP can also help you analyze price trends and seasonal fluctuations of flights. For example, you can switch to an IP address in a region to see the price changes at different times of the day and determine the likely future price direction accordingly. This is very useful for frequent travelers to help them purchase tickets at the right time.

Hotel Reservation

Use of integrated booking platforms

Integrated booking platforms (e.g. Expedia, Booking.com) often recommend different flights and hotels based on the user's country. By accessing pages in different regions through Proxies IP, users can get prices from multiple locations and compare them to find the most cost-effective booking option. This can reduce the booking expenses while enjoying the favorable prices in different regions.

3. Steps for using Proxies IP for travel booking

Register and set up Proxies IPs

Execution of price inquiries and records

Switch to target IP address: Switch to the IP address of the target country according to your booking needs and then visit the flight, hotel and integrated booking platforms separately to see the offers for each region. Remember to refresh the page each time you switch IPs to ensure you see the latest prices.

Record price data: Record price data by region and compare it via Excel or Google Sheets. This is very helpful for more in-depth data analysis. If automation is required, you can also use tools such as Python in conjunction with Proxies IP for data collection and analysis.

4. Other applications of Proxies in the travel industry

Analyze competitor prices

Proxies IP is not just for individual users, it can also help travel companies analyze their competitors' pricing strategies. For example, a travel agency can use Proxies IP to access competitors' offer pages in different countries in order to understand their pricing strategies and promotions. In this way, the company can better position its products and enhance its competitiveness in the market.

Market Demand Research

Proxies IP can also assist travel companies with market research. By accessing user reviews and demand data from around the world, companies can gain a deeper understanding of consumer preferences in each location. For example, by accessing travel reviews for the Southeast Asian market through Proxies IP, travel companies can get a handle on popular attractions and travel habits, so they can better tailor their products to their target markets.

User preference analysis

Proxies IP can also help travel companies understand user preferences across the globe. Users' travel habits and needs may vary from country to country, and accessing search and booking data from each location through Proxies IP can help companies optimize their product portfolio and improve user satisfaction. For example, if users in one region have a high demand for cultural tourism, while users in another region prefer beach vacations, accessing this data through Proxies IP allows for better promotional strategies.

5. How to choose the right Proxies IP service

When choosing Proxies IP services, it is vital to consider node coverage, connection speed and privacy protection features.

Click on the link to try it now!

Global Node Coverage: Proxy4Free has nodes in many countries, which can meet the users' global price inquiry needs.

Connection stability: Whether you are making an inquiry or a booking, a stable internet connection is required to ensure access to the latest pricing information.

Privacy Protection: Proxy4Free provides strong privacy protection and encryption to avoid the leakage of user information.

6. Conclusion

Proxies IP has an important application value in travel and hotel booking. It not only helps users to get price information from all over the world, but also supports the business development of tourism enterprises through market analysis and demand research. Proxy4Free provides global node services. Proxy4Free's global node service allows users to access the most cost-effective pricing options at any time, realizing a more economical and flexible travel experience.

Is My Hotel Room Pricing Logical ?

For Some People, Setting Prices is Straightforward, While for others, It's More Challenging. But let's Put Aside Whether it's Easy or Complicated and Focus on the Core Question: Is the Price I'm Setting for my Hotel Rooms Logical?

Consider These Scenarios to Explore This Question:

You have a 50-room hotel with one room type. A group books 25 rooms, bringing your occupancy to 50%. Should you increase or hold retail pricing on OTAs and your brand's website? What factors influence this decision?

If your Corporate Individual – Negotiated Segment bookings are strong, should you increase or hold retail pricing? Why?

If you have only 5 rooms left to sell for today, should you raise prices or keep them steady?There may be many situations, where you might be inclined towards increasing the price points, when your property occupancy increases or Vice versa.

While it might seem intuitive to raise prices as occupancy increases, is occupancy the only factor to consider when setting prices?

Ultimately, the customer decides whether to book your room at the given price. You can set whatever price you like, but it's the buyer's decision to accept or reject it. To ensure you're competitive and growing revenue and profitability, you need to find the right price point.

How Do You Determine The Right Price?

The answer lies in understanding the Behaviour of your property. Just as people can be polite or rude, hardworking or lazy, hotels have characteristics that inform pricing decisions. To understand your hotel's Behaviour, consider these key aspects:

🟢Lead Times: Do bookings happen well in advance or closer to the arrival date? For example, weddings are typically booked well ahead of time, while business Travellers might book closer to their stay.

🟢Day of the Week Patterns: Leisure Travellers might prefer weekends, while corporate clients usually book weekdays.

🟢Length of Stay (LOS): What's the typical length of stay for different market segments?

🟢Price Elasticity: How does demand change with price fluctuations on different days of the week and during different seasons?

🟢Demand and Supply Balance: How does seasonality affect demand and supply across different market segments?

🟢Past and Current Trends: Are there noticeable changes in booking patterns?

🟢Socio-Economic Factors: What broader factors could impact customer Behaviour?

These insights help you forecast more accurately and make better pricing decisions.

It's important to remember that simply raising prices doesn't guarantee increased revenue. You need to consider the market segment mix, channel mix, and strategies to extend length of stay to grow occupancy during quieter times. Accurate forecasting enables you to make well-informed decisions about pricing, yield management, and channel management.

Expanding your distribution through a channel manager with a wide reach can also help increase demand, boosting your property's revenue.
