Rainmaker Launches TribalRev to Provide Revenue Optimization
Services to Native American Casino Hotels


Small and Medium-Sized Properties on Indian Tribal Lands Will Benefit from Rainmaker’s
Software and Revenue Management Services via New Subscription-Based Offering



ATLANTA, GA – August 31, 2010The Rainmaker Group, a world leader in automated profit optimization software and services for the hospitality industry, announced today it will provide its world-class revenue optimization services to small and midsized casino hotel operators on Indian tribal lands.  The new TribalRev services will level the revenue playing field for Native American operators that compete with larger companies.  Rainmaker will launch its TribalRev revenue management service in Q4 2010.
 
TribalRev will be a reasonably priced hosted offering that provides clients with Rainmaker’s hosted revolution profit optimization software and the services of a professional Rainmaker revenue management executive.  The TribalRev service will provide the same revenue optimization benefits that Rainmaker delivers to the world’s largest hotel casino companies including Wynn Las Vegas, Kerzner, MGM MIRAGE, Trump Entertainment Resorts, and Harrah’s Entertainment.


Tammy Farley, Principal and Co-Founder
of The Rainmaker Group

TribalRev levels the playing field for small and midsized casino hotels
“The TribalRev program will provide the proven technology and professional rate optimization management services to enable small and midsized tribal land hotel casinos to access the same benefits enjoyed by major operators,” said Tammy Farley, principal of The Rainmaker Group. “These properties often do not have the systems or internal staff resources to focus full-time on strategic revenue management.  Our TribalRev services level the playing field for them.”

revolution software supports revenue strategies, services
As part of TribalRev, Rainmaker will work with hotels to create a revenue strategy based on their performance history and current data on the markets and segments they serve. The service will focus on creating a revenue management culture that will maximize revenue based on customer value—the same strategies used by the largest casino hotels. The services will include use of Rainmaker’s revolution Product Suite, which enables casinos to accurately forecast guest value to all areas of a casino enterprise, leverage cyclical patterns to optimize revenue and profitability, and maximize the value of demand during peak travel times.
 
TribalRev will include:
  • A weekly dashboard/executive summary with historical, short-term, and long-term outlooks
  • Competitive updates
  • Bi-weekly strategy calls with hotel GM/sales/casino staff
  • Distribution strategy with third party providers and other deliverables.

To kick off the TribalRev program, Rainmaker will host an interactive webinar Sept. 16 and 17. To register for either day, contact Brad Anderson at [email protected] or 214.513.9470.
