📋 Open Pricing allows variable pricing for room types based on demand, evolving from the fixed-modifier Best Available Rate (BAR) strategy of the 1990s. It enables numerous price points on a demand curve independent of BAR, allowing rates like $185, $186, $187, or $216. This strategy maintains open and selling channels during peak periods. Key steps include collaboration across departments, revisiting discount policies, adjusting marketing messages, staff training, pricing by demand, considering guest lifetime value, and keeping channels open. Automating the Open Pricing process with systems like Duetto can significantly increase revenue and efficiency.
