We share 4 fundamental strategies to increase your direct sales and boost your booking engine without losing your trust and relationship with external sales channels.
- Rooms for exclusive sale on your booking engine
OTA’s require parity in the types of rooms that are for sale and that can find their match in the various channels, however, having rooms only for direct sale will provide a more dynamic management and without interference from third parties.
- Exclusive Packages and Promotions
Having a varied offer on your booking engine will ensure greater reach and meet the needs of different types of customers.
