Bluetent and Revenue Data

In the competitive short-term rental industry, managers can’t afford to leave revenue on the table. With fluctuating demand, seasonal swings, and traveler unpredictability, booking gaps happen—even for the most optimized portfolios.

 

But here’s the power move: your email marketing and your RevMax revenue data can work together to identify booking gaps early and fill them fast.

 

When RevMax’s insights inform Bluetent’s email strategy, you turn missed opportunities into measurable wins—automatically, consistently, and profitably.

 

Email Marketing: Still the Highest-ROI Driver of Direct Bookings

Email remains one of the most profitable channels in the STR industry. With the right segmentation and timing, you can reach travelers who already know your brand and are primed to book again.

 

Email marketing helps you:

  • Re-engage past guests at the perfect moment
  • Promote homes with soft occupancy
  • Fill short, revenue-draining gaps
  • Boost shoulder-season performance
  • Drive traffic to your website—not the OTAs

The Revenue Engine Behind Higher Occupancy

RevMax delivers the revenue intelligence needed to make smarter, faster marketing decisions.

 

From pacing and occupancy to ADR trends, stay gaps, and booking-window analysis, RevMax shows you exactly where demand is soft—and where email marketing can make the biggest impact.

 

RevMax identifies:

  • Slow-pacing properties
  • Declining ADR trends
  • Weekdays or weekends with low occupancy
  • Gaps between stays
  • Homes falling behind comp sets
  • Seasonal demand dips
  • Drive-market opportunities

When Bluetent and RevMax work together, your marketing becomes predictive—not reactive.

How Revenue Data Shapes High-Performing Email Campaigns

Here’s how RevMax and Bluetent work together to fill calendars and maximize profit:

1. Slow-Pacing Property Campaigns

When RevMax flags properties falling behind pacing, Bluetent builds targeted campaigns that highlight:

  • Standout features
  • Key amenities
  • Location benefits
  • Similar-guest audiences
  • Smart incentives

This drives bookings without sacrificing ADR. See how this works in action.

2. Gap-Filler Email Blasts

Stay gaps quietly drain revenue—but not when RevMax identifies them early.

Bluetent targets:

  • Drive-market travelers
  • Last-minute bookers
  • Guests interested in short stays

Ensuring gaps get filled before they impact monthly revenue.

3. Seasonality & Demand-Dip Campaigns

RevMax shows you where future demand is soft. Bluetent responds with proactive email campaigns featuring:

  • Seasonal promotions
  • Local event highlights
  • Personalized property recommendations
  • Early-booking incentives

This stabilizes revenue even in challenging months.

 

4. High-Value Guest Targeting

RevMax exposes which guests deliver the highest lifetime value. Bluetent activates them with:

  • VIP access
  • Exclusive offers
  • Loyalty-driven messaging
  • Personalized stay recs

This group converts faster and fills premium inventory.
