## Seasonality

Revenue in Greenwood Township peaks in July and bottoms out in April — the market's lowest-revenue month — with July revenue running about 2.81 times April's. That's a sizable peak-to-trough gap, and it argues for shoulder-season pricing set deliberately for the months around the edges of summer, rather than treated as a scaled-down copy of peak-month rates. [ROAM's approach](https://roammgmt.com/approach/) applies season-aware dynamic pricing across the full calendar, adjusting rates month to month as demand shifts through the year.
