How the math connects

  • Annual nights sold = rooms × 365 × occupancy %
  • Accepted offers = nights sold × acceptance rate %
  • Annual revenue = accepted offers × lift per accept

Pre-arrival offers sent 48-72 hours before arrival have the highest acceptance in most segments. Day-before reminders work for ancillary services (spa, dining). Post-arrival in-stay messaging captures additional upgrade opportunities for guests who declined pre-arrival.

Where this fits

Pre-arrival upsell is one of the highest-leverage automated revenue levers an independent hotel has after rate optimisation. Specialist platforms like Oaky ship the deepest offer-catalogue tooling; bundled guest-journey platforms (Duve, Canary, Guestivo) cover the most common offers at a lower total cost. The Oaky alternatives shortlist walks through the trade-offs.
