Hotel and lodging owners can increase revenue and bookings at no charge

Is by far one of the most cost effective ways for you to increase your revenue without any extra expense out of your pocket. Lets face it, lodging properties spend millions and millions a year promoting their property and most of the lodging properties remain with a 30% vacancy or more.

Most lodging companies such as Hotels, Resorts, Condos, Apartments, Lofts, Villas and etc pay 3rd party portals to promote their property and pay a commission every time their property is rented or booked.

This process is very effective in attracting the public to your property. The public searches these portals and can find the best available public rate. Someone makes a reservation through these portals you could be paying up to 50% in commission for booking services.

Add your property to these types of programs will allow you to increase your revenue without any additional marketing on your part. Simply list your hotel free of charge in the private directory and when a member calls you for reservations, you simply give them a discount that is greater than what the public can receive.

Most travel clubs do not have millions of members, they typically only maintain a few hundred thousands of members in their database. It is always wise to list your property or hotel in a program that offers you the maximum potential to increase your revenue without any extra expense coming out of your budget.

Keep in mind, these programs do not make your discounts available to the public, they are only available to registered members and are typically behind locked doors. Members will be required to call your hotel direct and make reservations via your reservation center.

If you have a system that allows you to generate a promo code, discount code, or a special code, then you can provide a direct link to your site for members to make discounted reservations. The most important thing to remember is that you need to inform your entire staff that you are participating in the program. Companies such as Hotels Etc. are very picky about hotels and property owners pushing away members. They take a lot of pride in offering an incredible service to members.
