Greetings!
Welcome to our Technology 4 Hotels update.
Today we're reminding you of the 'oh-so-handy' web tool that checks your competitor prices for you. For many hotels it generates a 'Wow!' response, once the capabilities are realised. You can receive a daily email which highlights the days in red and green when your price differences are higher or lower than you wish. Or you just log into the website ratesalarm.com and see the current status there. You can compare best rates, or matching room types, and see future rate trends.
The tool saves the hours of time it takes to check other hotels' rates on websites, and makes it easy to maximise $. Don't forget - these days, more than ever - you simply must monitor competitor prices, and adjust your prices constantly for the best chance of your best revenue.
Try it free for 1 month, on the ratesalarm.com website, then a reasonable monthly charge. If you sign up for the trial before 31 March 2013 and enter the Promotional code TECH4HOTELS you will receive a 5% discount when the subscription period commences.
Warmest Regards,
Brendon Granger

Know how competitive you are at the click of a Button!
If you're a Revenue Manager and you're weary of constantly checking travel websites for your competitors' rates, you can now put a new spring in your step!
Just open your daily email from ratesalarm.com, and see live feeds of your competitor rate information gathered together. Compare rates for matched room types, or Best Rates, in your region with your star rating. When your day's rates are too high, they show in red, and when too low, in green. You determine what % difference in rates is enough for it to show in the alerts report.

Makes Yield Management Easy
Many hoteliers shy away from the onerous task of gathering competitor rate information. But you need this information to get prices right - to gain maximum revenue in busy times, and maximum occupancy in quiet times. With the ratesalarm.com tool, you'll have the alert information highlighted, and can change rates immediately.

See Future Rate Trends and Unusual Peaks in Demand
With easy graphs, compare regional price trends 3 months ahead, and see unusual peaks in demand that may not have been factored in to your prices.The image below shows the Regional Rates Trend for Melbourne. You can see a rate spike on Saturday 16 March. This spike is no doubt due to the Formula One Australian Grand Prix taking place in Melbourne from 14-17 March!
See how this works by viewing a sample Daily Intel then move your cursor over the graph line to see the specific day. Click the Features image for more features.

Customer Feedback
Here's more from Xavier Sala
"RatesAlarm was recommended by a friend in the Industry and it has been a great discovery for me. It does not only give you the chance of selecting a competitive set for your lowest Best Available Rate, but it also allows you to select a competitive set for each of your room types and promotions. This increases the amount of data that you can view in an easy, quick and simple way, at the same time saving you hours of your day having it all in just one Click. If you are looking to improve your Revenue Management, I would highly recommend RatesAlarm."
