Fractional Pricing
Applied to a hotel, fractional pricing could be used to day rate pricing
Car rental companies calculate their extra hour price by taking a percentage of the price per day.
If the cost of the extra hours meets or exceeds the daily rate, then the system automatically jumps to the daily rate.

Airport hotels are prime examples of where fractional pricing helps
Key questions that a hotel should consider before using fractional pricing: Does it make sense for the product/service to be sold in fractional increments? What increments should be made available? What is the % of price applied to the fraction?
Airport Hotel – Day rate example
A guest wants to book a room to use between flights for 3 hours
Price $37.50 per hour ($250*15%) Times 3 hours =
$112.50
Guest changes the request for a longer stay of 7 hours
Price $37.50 per hour ($250*15%)Times 7 hours =
$262.50Since fractional price is greater than the primary price, we need to sell room for $250.00

Setting your house in order…
Communications need to be
thoughtful and transparent
Clear signs of executive support need to start at the
top and cascade throughout the
organization
Think outside the box to deliver training and
communications
We need to be aware of cultural and generational differences in
learning styles
We need to ensure everyone understands that this is business
transformation not just a n incentive exercise
Learn from past experiences – a project like this
should not fail during delivery
Owner engagement and leadership is
important
