Tip 1: CHoose the channels you need
Map key channels end to end for reservations, rates, restrictions and availability. Including Booking.com, AirBnB, Expedia, Situ, Silverdoor, Homeaway and more.
Tip 2: Use dynamic pricing to increase revenue
Using Dynamic rules in your pricing strategy when using elina will give you a great way of diversifying rates and types of booking. From using set rates for corporate customers to creating promotional codes for use on your own website only. You have the tool to target bookings based on sources, length of stay, booking windows etc. You be able to automatically increase and decrease prices based on rules that you set, you will then be able to distribute these across your channels too.
Tip 3: Decide to play it safe or go for even more bookings
Moving guests between apartments, is not the same as moving guests inbetween rooms at a hotel. We recognise this at elina PMS and so you can choose to sell exact inventory, meaning you do not have to move reservations from channels like Booking.com. This is called consecutive availability, which informs the channels of max and min length of stay per unit. Or you can opt to sell through so you maximise reservations and then manage them by moving them. It’s a setting, choose apartment management software which gives you control.
Tip 4: Automate most guest communication
Your team may not meet with guests at all, so communicating with them once they have booked until after they have arrived is very important. You can use apartment management software to create an email communication for each touch point in their guest journey, from the booking confirmation, through pre-arrival details to post booking comms, such as requesting a review. Use the guest login to help reduce inbound from guests and give them reassurance about their upcoming stay.
