090 Be conservative
"Oh OK." Zhou You took out his mobile phone and added Deng Bin's friend, and transferred the money by the way. Only then did he realize that Deng Bin seemed to be a writing worker working in a publishing house.
Just after transferring the money here, Wu Lingling hurriedly ran out, pointed to the phone and said with a smile: "Standle Manager Zhou, I'll get the customers for you."
Zhou You said in surprise: "So fast?"
"You are so perfect here. I'll let them come quickly while it's not hot yet."
When Deng Bin heard this, he frowned and cursed: "What happened to you women like to rob cabbage when you are doing this."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and quickly reminded Zhou You: "Stand Manager Zhou, please register for me first, and then deal with them. Don't suddenly get a bunch of people squeezed me out."
Before Zhou Youdong could change, Bai Jing had finished the operation and raised her hand and shook her phone: "I have registered, don't worry, Mr. Deng."
"Okay, okay, thank you..." Deng Bin hesitated at Bai Jing, "Boss Lady?"
Zhou You coughed: "It's a partner."
"Oh, he is a partner, he is a partner." Deng Bin felt embarrassed and quickly turned around and walked back into the house, "Dudu, why are you naughty again!"
Wu Lingling hurriedly came up, her expression was filled with speed and passion, which was really a bit like robbing cabbage: "That week, would the store manager ask them to add you to book a room on WeChat, or to order it on Crab Orange?"
“The prices are the same, order them on crab orange.”
"Will Crab Orange charge you a commission?"
"Yes, but we need good reviews and pictures on crab orange at this stage." Zhou You nodded, "You have taken good photos these days, and you have worked hard to pass them on and comment."
"Sure." Wu Lingling said, looking at her phone again, "They are asking, why can't they book a room next week?"
"There is not the price next week." Zhou You thought for a while and said, "In this way, we will immediately open the reservation for next week, but it really cannot be the price."
"Finish." Wu Lingling nodded, "We are really taking advantage of it, so I'm embarrassed."
"It's not that you take advantage, but that you have good vision and courage. You are the first to eat crabs and deserve it."
"Oh, Manager Zhou's mouth..." Wu Lingling turned her head and glared at Deng Bin, "Look at the young man."
After dealing with the couple, Zhou You and Bai Jing walked quickly to the office, thinking about the same question in their minds—
Pricing.
Although there are some customers who can leave at will, most people are still accustomed to determining their itinerary one or two weeks in advance. Generally, hotels will open an appointment period of about half a year, and the most important thing here is pricing.
This pricing must be accurate to every day, and all factors such as festivals, holidays, tourism off-peak seasons, marketing and promotion are calculated, and the hotel's profits are maximized through a series of mathematical calculations.
Obviously, this is a compulsory course in hotel management.
"Don't look at me, I haven't passed this class..." Bai Jing swallowed and spitted, "You know... I'm not good at math, but good physical education."
“So Is there any basic common sense about early pricing?”
"Well, it's better to just raise the price, not lower the price. You'd rather lose the immediate profit than insist on not lowering the price." Bai Jing told, "For example, your house price next week is 2,000, but only one person booked the house. When you see that the situation is not good, it changed to 1,000. This is equivalent to selling at a low price. It will cause a devastating experience blow to the person who spends 2,000 to book. It will not only affect the reputation, but also be difficult to increase the price in the future. Maybe it will continue to decline."
Zhou You followed this logic and asked: "So, it's better to be more conservative in our price increase process?"
"Yes, it is best to keep a moderate increase. The price that rises must not be reduced unless it is forced." Bai Jing nodded, "In addition, there is a complex strategy for long-term pricing, which requires a lot of data as the basis. Our data is too little, and there is too much room for price increase. It is recommended to come a little bit, and it is best to open the reservation for up to two weeks."
"Then let's mention it for the time being next week..." Zhou You said with little certainty, "800?"
"Don't look at me."
"Be conservative, 828."
After entering the office, Zhou You was busy operating in the background, while Bai Jing helped him answer the reservation call.
Wu Lingling is really trying hard. Because she was too shocked, she posted seven or eight videos and pictures in her circle of friends, using her life, character and image in her circle of friends to blow the shore of Xiaoyin Lake to an explosion, and of course, there is a shock price of 500 yuan.
Of course, what is more important is that those videos and pictures are really first-hand information, without any packaging. After reading this circle, it is really hard to imagine that such a place can be arrived in more than an hour after driving.
"Don't set the price first!" Bai Jing, who answered n calls, suddenly shouted.
Zhou You did not set a price. He found that on the crab orange platform, this week alone, there were already 5 orders waiting to be confirmed in the backend.
Wu Lingling alone has developed 5 customers who are willing to pay immediately in less than an hour. As time goes by, there will definitely be more.
Of course, it mainly depends on the bargain price of 500 yuan.
"I suggest that the next week's property will be opened in two days. I guess that people coming next week will keep staring at the platform." Bai Jing looked at Zhou You, with a little evil in her pupils, "Let the bullet fly for a while."
Zhou You looked at Bai Jing's eyes, and his own gradually became evil: "It's only the first day. Isn't it too early to follow this routine?"
"Don't you want to pay off your debt quickly and do the second phase?"
"Well..." Zhou You smiled coldly, "If they ask, tell them that the price will not be lower than 1,500 next week."
Bai Jing was stunned: "In terms of the devil's degree... I lost..."
In one hour, a total of 6 orders were confirmed in Zhouyou.
Three of the orders were Friday nights, two on Saturdays, and one on the next night, which is Thursday night.
Including Teacher Chen Miaomiao, it is already full on Friday night, and it is only a matter of time before the order is fully completed on Saturday. It depends on how many people will be tomorrow night and Sunday.
Although it is a bargain, it has been recorded by nearly 4,000 yuan since the first day of business.
According to the agreement with Crab Orange, the room payment paid by the Crab Orange will be transferred to Zhouyou’s corporate account on the 17th of each month, and a 15% commission will be deducted.
A one-month cycle, plus a 15% commission, is indeed a bit distressing. Of course, this is not just a distressing feeling for Zhou You himself, but a pain in the entire hotel industry.
Fortunately, Zhouyou B&B is relatively smaller in scale and has a strong self-branding nature. It is relatively not dependent on the traffic provided by Crab Orange. It is often just a tool.
Zhou You is sure that when the time is ripe, you need to talk to the people on the platform again.
However, the people from the platform came to him first to talk to him.
