Get A Beautiful, Optimized-for-Conversion Website – Among the first things we do for our franchisees is build them a modern, mobile-responsive, eye-catching, fully-functional, optimized-for-conversions website with all the important functionalities and capabilities that are needed for a hotel website.
As you know a website is a must-have for a business of any size these days. Most of the times guest forms a favorable or an unfavorable impression about your hotel by glancing through your website. We realize the importance of having a modern website and thus build one for our partners if they don’t already have one.
Utilizing this offer you can not only save a lot of money but your business can also greatly benefit at the same time.
3. Maximise Exposure Through Tons of Distribution Channels – You no longer have to sit idly at your reception desk hoping that guests will walk in to your property and book rooms. You can easily and effortlessly gain lot of exposure for your property by working with many distribution channels.
As part of our brand, we connect you to thousands of travel agents throughout the world through our GDS and IDS connectivity. As soon as you join us you can get instantly connected to 650,000+ travel agents and 2000+ OTAs.
The more channels you use to market your property, the more sites you are listed on, the higher the chances of boosting your occupancy rates!
4. Increase Direct Bookings – You can save lot of money when guests book directly. You will save money on commissions that you would have had to pay to the agents. However if you want your loyal, regular guests to book directly with you then you need to have that functionality on your website.
You need to be able to provide some perks in the form of discounted rates for direct bookings. When hotels join Stay Express we integrate a powerful, feature-rich booking engine on their website which will provide them the capability to offer direct bookings to the guests. Having this capability on your wesite can be highly instrumental in growing your business greatly!
5. Understanding Guests & Attention to Detail – To achieve high levels of customer satisfaction, you need to have a great attention to details.
In hospitality the guest judge almost everything about your hotel right from the napkin on the table to the toilet seat cover to the bed-sheets. So the hotels need to maintain high standards in almost everything. For this they need acute attention to detail.
When you operate a hotel on your own, there may be many things you may miss out. You may skip or neglect some minor details which you think are insignificant but which can have a major impact on the customer’s impression about your hotel. Stay Express is a company managed by highly experienced people who have seen all types of customers.
We understand what could go wrong and what kind of expectations guests have. As we check out your hotel we can point out areas that need improvement. We don’t go overboard like other brands in forcing our franchisees to make huge upgrades to their hotels, we just point out the major areas where improvements are needed to maintain brand standard. Thus we can help you hotel succeed by pointing you in the right direction and letting you know what needs to be done and how much, due to our decades of experience and deep understanding of the industry and the guests.
