The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your
Attention!

Where you want,
how you want,
when you want it to…

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—

…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—

…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa

There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.

Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue

Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market

media are responsible for selling it.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your
Attention!

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.
2.
3.
4.

Forecasting,
Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.

The “Science” of Public Relations
The main goal of a public relations department is to enhance a
company’s reputation.
• Give the general public and the media a clear understanding
of how the company works
• Helps a company stand out from the crowd
• Creates appeal and interest in both the public and the media.
• Manages Customer relations through perception
• Monitors all media channels for both good and bad Press
• Manages crises that threaten company or product image
• Builds goodwill among an organization’s target market
Premise: The public are the buyers of the product and the
media are responsible for selling it.

Public Relations is NOT Advertising
• In principle, Public Relations does not require any
investment – it’s “free”
• P.R. is not targeted Display Ad or message placement
• ROI for Public Relations is Incalculable but can be many
Times over more effective than advertising
• Public Relations operates on the principle that media need
“content”
• Public Relations creates events as well as communications
To achieve the desired effect or objectives
• Recently P.R. has expanded to oversee Social
Media and Home Page Content along with online reviews.

Advertising… What is it?

What is Advertising?
• Advertising: The paid, public, non-personal
announcement of a persuasive message by an
identified sponsor; the non-personal
presentation or promotion by a firm of its
products to its existing and potential customers.
• Advertising persuades people to buy a certain
product. It brings goods to the attention of
consumers.
• Advertising is best used strategically with Public
Relations and other Communications

Advertising gets your

Yield Management (Revenue Management)
•
•
•

•
•
•

A relatively “New” development originating in Hospitality – circa
1985 with American Airlines’ “Super Saver” fares
Used by industry worldwide and across business models
There are three essential conditions for revenue management to
be applicable:
1. Limited quantity or resources available for sale (限定製品).
2. Perishability (there is a time limit to selling the resources, after
which they cease to be of value) (賞味期限).
3. That different customers are willing to pay a different price for
using the same amount of resources (買売柔軟性).
Effectively used by: Airlines, Hotels, Rental Cars, Inter-City
Bus Services, Multi-family housing
Ethical issues and questions of effectiveness
Inventory vs Demand = Best Possible Revenues

Revenue Management
•

•

Revenue Management's overall aim is to
provide an optimal mix of goods at a variety of
price points at different points in time or for
different baskets of features. The system will
try to maintain a distribution of purchases over
time that is balanced as well as high.
There are Four key areas—
1.

Overbooking,
Inventory Control, and
Pricing.

A Quick Quiz on Revenue
Management:
Which is better?...
• A. 84% occupancy with an ADR of \ 8,700,
…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400?

A Quick Quiz on Revenue Management:
Which is better?...

…or
• B. 78% occupancy with an ADR of \ 9,400
If you chose A, profit management is not for you.
Although the RevPAR values for both are close,
answer B produces significantly more profit.
Every room sold has an associated added cost of
sales; increased ADR has none. Profit management
allows hotels to focus on improving profit whether or
not room revenue actually increases.
