Take your Hotel Inventory Online at Zero Cost.

Would you dare to play professional cricket without the support of good bowlers? Or for that matter, play a competitive game of football without the protection provided by a goal keeper? Of course you wouldn’t. After all, if you walk into the field with an incomplete team, you would be making it very easy for the competition to walk all over you. In the same manner, how do you expect to win the battle to corner business from the online traveler segment without empowering your hotel with a full service ecommerce enabled website?

A hotel website can do much more than just provide guests with information about your hotel. It serves as your `always there’ online sales engine that will distribute your inventory to the furthest places across the globe; it will actively sell your inventory 24 x 7; and it will help you close sale online in real time. Moreover, by selling direct-to-customer you will increase your profitability while reducing the amount paid in commissions.

So, start taking steps to take your inventory online and make it easily available to guests, or else, you will lose bookings to competitors who are online.

You are probably held back by your perception that the numbers don’t add up. After all, you have to consider the cost of building an eCommerce enabled website complete with a booking engine and a payment gateway. Then you have to go about marketing the website and bring in sales. On the other hand, your third party sales channels are already bringing in sales for a commission. So you would rather pay them a small commission instead of taking all the effort to build an online brand through your hotel website.

Think again. Taking your hotel online now is the best thing you could do for your hotel’s future. Travelers’ today prefer to book directly online at the hotel’s website, even if they seek information and details from other third party websites. Therefore ensuring that you cater to this segment is very important. These are the customers who are more likely to be loyal returning customers who will provide the hotel with immense value in their lifecycles. Using a software driven CRM program, they are also cheaper to reach in the long run.
