● Invest in your website. Your website is the key to getting more direct online bookings, which are commission-free! Make sure that it is as functional and informative as possible, and that the online booking process is smooth.
● Partner with online booking sites. These sites can help to tap into markets that you simply couldn’t reach on your own.
3. Refresh your bottom line
Running a sustainable inn is all about boosting your revenue.
And you can’t do that without…
● Knowing what works (and trying to do more of it). This means having the right kind of reports handy to help you make the decisions that really matter! If you’re using a modern property management system, it should generate all of these reports for you with just a few clicks.
● Finding ways to increase incremental revenue. Persuade your hotel guests to spend a little more through your online booking engine by adding carefully thought-out extras such as a romantic package or champagne breakfast. You can also offer discounts for extended stays.
● Capitalize on the latest trends. Understand what’s hot in travel and use it to your advantage. Find ways to attract specific markets - like health and wellness guests and Chinese travelers.
