Hi partners! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jessica, a Business Analyst and Revenue Management Specialist at Bukit Vista. I’ve done analysis and optimization for over 100 times, bringing in 100+ millions of additional revenue value through dynamic pricing. Other than that, I studied at César Ritz Colleges Switzerland & Washington State University in hospitality business management.
Some of you may know me already, as I often communicate with partners about your property’s pricing and performance. I am writing this blog for all of you, as an introduction to what the Dynamic Pricing team does daily. Through my blogs, I would love to answer all your key questions and provide better understanding.
What is Dynamic Pricing Management?
Dynamic pricing is a strategy where businesses adjust the prices of their offerings to account for changing demand, which use flexible instead the fixed price. The goal is to get the right price, at the right time.
How we analyse your property in order to decide the pricing strategy.
The Revenue Management team at Bukit Vista monitors your property performance frequently and utilizes dynamic pricing as a strategy to have your property occupied. Each property is assigned to a pricing specialist and follows an inspection schedule on a weekly basis. Have you ever wondered how we analyze your property and arrive to specific pricing strategies to improve your property’s performance? Let’s find out more!
All the different kinds of data we use to analyse your property and make strategical pricing decisions
What are the pricing strategies we could settle on
In Dynamic Pricing, there are different pricing strategies we could adopt. Most of the time, we like to do pricing experiments to test out certain strategies and monitor the success rates. One of the most extreme strategy would be changes in the base price, which could either go higher or lower depending on your property’s performance. There are also gap nights and nearly expired dates, which most likely will trigger a price drop to attract last minute bookers. In more stable times, we could also just play around with the discounts setting and adjust things like weekly, monthly, length of stay, early bird, and last minute discounts.
How partners can contribute towards our successes?
In order to achieve greater successes, the support of our partners is also crucial to the Revenue Management team. We need your help to:
- Keep your calendar open to increase availability
- Trust Bukit Vista to optimize your property through dynamic pricing
- Enhance our team’s visibility towards your property’s operational cost to understand our price boundaries better
- Property X
One of our guesthouse properties located in Canggu, previously only allocated 5 rooms for Bukit Vista to manage, up to August 2022. Early in September, they decided to pause the partnership due to some internal ownership issues. When they chose to resume back in early October, and gave us a full 10 rooms allocation, they know they made the best decision because their booking pace went up quickly and their revenue doubled in that month itself.
- Property Y
One of our long-term partner property in Padang-Padang, have been performing really well until now. This guesthouse with 6 unique rooms can generate a consisteng 8K dollars a month, for 4 months consecutively. Despite an off season in November, their performance is still well above market standards.
- Property Z
This is revenue from a 3-bedroom villa in Ungasan. Their performance has been going up steadily since July up to now. Their nightly rates are also increasing as we monitor better performance in this property overtime. This is a result of the owner fully trusting Bukit Vista to manage their property.
