OTA

While OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) are a good source of first-time visitors, hotels should focus on converting these to loyal guests who book directly. This both reduces commission costs and enables hotels to communicate with their guests after their stay.

Benefits for members

We recommend keeping the best offers exclusive to those who book through the hotel´s own channels. Such offers may include locked membership prices which incentivize direct bookings in the future, while at the same time giving first-time visitors a reason to book directly instead of using an OTA. Locked membership prices are not subject to price dumping from OTAs.

The value of loyalty

Loyal guests visit 43% more often and spend 23% more money with each visit. They are also more likely to make use of the hotel´s facilities (spa, restaurant, etc.). Loyal guests are also a valuable source of marketing, as they are more likely to recommend your hotel to friends and family.  

We recommend promoting your program on-site, ensuring that all guests are informed about what they miss out on if they do not become members. Table cards, posters in rooms/elevators and invitations from receptionists are excellent opportunities to raise awareness among guests as to why they should become members.
