Unlike outsourced revenue management, the consultant does not make the daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
Demand drivers in Door County: Wisconsin Dells waterparks; Door County cherry season and fall foliage; Lake Michigan cottage demand; Chicago and Milwaukee weekend travel. Typical guests: Midwestern families on 3 to 7 night stays. Where the work starts: Summer weekly pricing, foliage premiums, and long off-season floors.
Door County inns and resorts depend on summer leisure, foliage weekends and weddings, then drop to minimal winter operations.

Market guide
Door County revenue management market guide
Door County and Wisconsin Dells both serve Midwestern families, but their calendars are very different. Door County, the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan, is a summer cottage market: guests from Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis come for Fish Creek, Ephraim, Peninsula State Park, fish boils and cherry picking in July, then return for October foliage. Wisconsin Dells is the self-styled waterpark capital, with outdoor parks in summer and indoor resorts that keep it busy around school holidays all year. Families stay three to seven nights in both places. We price Door County on a summer and foliage curve with long off-season floors, and the Dells around school calendars and waterpark weekends.
