The distribution network is becoming increasingly complex and diverse. With new channels popping up regularly, each one inventing new and creative ways to sell your hotel. The more time taken managing these, the less time is spent managing your business and performance becomes re-active, not pro-active. A risk not worth taking.

The SDK Revenue Review aims to assess and consolidate current practice, and provide a clear and concise assessment with recommendations and an action plan, which we will implement and support.

The process typically involves;

• Complete Rate Audit.
• E-Distribution Analysis.
• Optimise OTA Network.
• Assess Rate Parity.
• Calculate True ‘Cost of Distribution’.
• Update Distribution Network.
• Develop Online & Mobile Presence.
• Enhance Room and Property Descriptions.
• Promote Dynamic Packaging.
• Drive Direct Business Through ‘Pay-Per-Click’ Opportunities.
• GDS Audit.
• Consider GDS Advertising.
• GDS Priority Placement Programmes.
• Ensure Effective Use of Inventory Controls.
• Review Forecasting and Selling Strategies.
