4. Two new Booking Engine features to help hotels reduce cancellations
1. Reschedule, Don’t Cancel
Bookassist has introduced a new ‘Modify Booking’ message to its standard booking cancellation process. Bookers are asked to reschedule their booking instead of cancelling the booking.
This will help hotels to mitigate cancellations by helping clients to retain the booker, albeit at a later date.
2. Voucher exchange for non-refundable bookings
The feature enables the exchange of a prepaid, non-refundable booking for a cash voucher, to the value of the original booking. This new feature will drive goodwill with bookers who for example have been forced to cancel due to no fault of their own.
5. Risk free Metasearch
New to metasearch? If your hotel has never tried Metasearch then this new initiative from Google is perfect for you. Google’s Pay Per Stay allows hotels to engage with Metasearch and only pay when the guest stays. It’s ideal for hotels who want to try out Metasearch.
Bookassist will help you get the visibility you need now by getting you set up on Google PPS. We will manage your visibility and campaigns for a low once off set up fee and risk free commission. You will always have the option to expand your Meta presence on other Metasearch channels by signing up to our full service.
