Field experimentation is widely used in product design and marketing to reduce costs and increase revenues in competitive environments. However, in certain industries like hospitality revenue management, there is limited public documentation on experimentation, with its use mainly restricted to big corporate brands. This article explores the reasons for the limited adoption of field experimentation in revenue management and highlights the potential benefits and experimental designs that could be beneficial for accommodation managers.
Field experimentation has been widely adopted as an optimization technique in product design and marketing in several industries. Companies have successfully used field experimentation to reduce costs, increase revenues, and maintain an edge in their customer experience in highly competitive environments. However, in certain quantitative applications, such as revenue management in hospitality, to the authors' knowledge, there is little publicly documented work on experimentation, and its use remains the privilege of big corporate brands with a small market share. This article discusses the likely causes of the sparse adoption of field experimentation for revenue management in hospitality. It also outlines opportunities that field experimentation can bring to accommodation managers and describes specific types of experimental designs that can help exploit those opportunities. By explicitly addressing the complexities of revenue management, this article aims to start a conversation about experimentation in hospitality that should benefit the industry as a whole.
