## Seasonality

July is the revenue peak in Presque Isle Township, and February is the trough; peak-month revenue runs about 2.62 times trough-month revenue. That's a wide swing between the busiest and slowest points on the calendar, and the shoulder months in between sit somewhere along that curve. Pricing that adjusts month to month, rather than staying static year-round, is better positioned to capture what each part of the calendar actually supports. ROAM's [pricing approach](https://roammgmt.com/approach/) adjusts nightly rates to the calendar instead of treating every month the same.
