Most lodging providers realize selling packages is smart. It provides your guest with a better overall experience and adds to the profitability of your business. BookingCenter can help sell your packages via the Internet and connect to millions of shoppers. Our packaging capability makes it easy to combine your accommodations with value added Items. And since we are all about efficient management, we integrate the tracking of the package contents for easy fulfillment, financial and daily management.
There are two general places to sell your Packages:
For example:
Packages on your web site
Build you own custom package with complete control over the rooms, items, pricing, dates, and minimum stay requirements.
Example: Romance Package
Combine a room, flowers, and a bottle of wine, etc… and sell it from your website with a two night minimum, available any day of the week.
Example: Midweek Package
Bundle a room, a meal + a spa treatment, etc… and sell as a package to increase midweek bookings. Available Sunday – Thursday only.
Requirements: BookingCenter Pro, Management Tool or MyPMS + POS Module and active in Global Distribution System (GDS) through BookingCenter.
How to Setup a Package
The first step is to plan what is desired in the package. Will you simply make a ‘Fixed’ Package consisting of a marketing ‘concept’ tied to a Room? Or will you make a ‘Dynamic’ Package that taps into specific Inventory Items being managed so that proper financial reporting and daily management of the Items can be readied upon arrival?
What dates will the Package be available on? What minimum stay and maximum stays must be met to purchase the Package? Planning ahead strategically will help when setting up your Packages.
