Have you ever wondered if your hotel website can generate revenue for your hotel? The answer is a resounding YES! By integrating a booking engine into your website, you can turn it into a powerful revenue channel. A recent survey revealed that many hotel websites rely on forms to convert business. However, this process often falls short as it doesn't provide an end-to-end solution. Guests or bookers typically expect to be contacted, which takes time and can lead to lost opportunities as their decision may change in those critical moments. Here’s how a booking engine can help: 1. Instant Booking: Allows guests to book rooms directly without waiting for a follow-up. 2. Enhanced User Experience: Provides a seamless and efficient booking process. 3. Increased Conversion Rates: Minimizes the risk of losing potential guests during the booking process. Invest in a booking engine for your website and watch your direct bookings soar. It’s time to make every visit to your website count! #HotelManagement #DigitalMarketing #BookingEngine #RevenueGeneration #HospitalityIndustry #DirectBookings #TravelTech #HotelTech #Bookingjini BookingJini

It is working! Applying direct booking strategies works! This is a nice tweet about the latest news. In UK news was shared that hotels on b-com are more expensive than booking direct. 👌 My answer was: Hi, hotelier & hotel consultant here - it is called: “direct booking strategy”. Why hotels do it? B-com very often undercut hotel’s pricing which leads to cheaper stays via them. Hotels are preventing this by giving b-com higher rates. It can be seen mainly my independent properties. And how about you? Do you already apply direct booking strategy? #revenuemanagement #directbooking #pricingstrategy

In today's competitive hospitality landscape, direct bookings play a crucial role in maximising revenue and building guest loyalty. However, several common mistakes can hinder a hotel's direct booking success. Here are three key pitfalls to avoid: 1. Complex Booking Processes: Complicated or lengthy booking procedures on your website can frustrate potential guests and lead to abandoned bookings. Streamline the process to ensure it's user-friendly and intuitive. 2. Lack of Incentives: Failing to offer compelling incentives for guests to book directly, such as discounts, exclusive packages, or loyalty rewards, may deter them from choosing your hotel over OTAs. 3. Inadequate Website Optimisation: Poorly optimised websites that are slow to load, not mobile-friendly, or lack clear calls-to-action can drive potential guests to seek easier booking options elsewhere. #srilanka #exploresrilanka #srilankadaily #srilankatravel #travelsrilanka #srilankatourism #srilankagetaways #hotelsinsrilanka

Are you struggling with booking engine abandonment and its impact on your revenue for your independent hotel? Here's what we've observed: many hotel websites and booking engines operate separately, which can lead to a disjointed guest experience. This often causes potential guests to start but not finish the booking process. The root problem? Essential information isn't easily accessible on the front-end website. By addressing this gap, there's a significant opportunity to boost your direct bookings.  We're eager to hear your thoughts and insights.
