In our quest to build a platform that all INNkeepers could benefit from, we have released several features in our software as a service (SaaS) cloud-based Digital Marketing System for hotels. INNsight provides INNkeepers the ability to manage room inventory and rates, promote their place to stay, and sell more rooms for less.
Some of these features are powerful pricing and promotion tools which allow hoteliers to drop rates and sell rooms like hotcakes.
So how can hotels use INNsight and drop it like it’s hot?:
Markdown Manager allows Hoteliers to use the retail concept of markdowns to provide a percentage off or dollar off discounts based on a minimum night stays for limited time periods. Markdowns are displayed on your hotel’s website Powered by INNsight with the traditional retail strike thru pricing to promote the sale. Your markdowns appear in the Hot Deals module on your hotel website’s homepage and appear as strike thru rates if a looker’s stay details satisfy your deal’s requirements.
Deals also are prominently displayed in our deals hub at Deals.INNsight.com and show up with strike thru pricing in search results on INNsight.com and on your free INNsight.com Property Profile Page. To sign up for your Free Property Profile Page on INNsight.com, click here.
