Key takeaways
● Attracting direct bookings is hard.
● One way to improve direct bookings is to look at your bookings process. These are the steps your guests take from the moment they click the Book Now button, to the moment the booking is confirmed.
● Your booking process needs to be slick, professional, and fast, so you don't lose potential guests who get bored or distracted along the way.
● Research other companies and your own to see what the buying process, or booking process looks like. Go on that journey as if you are a guest booking with you, and discover how easy it is, especially on a mobile device.
● Talk with your property management software to look at their booking process, and ask why they have created it the way they have.
● Quote bookings are a professional way to attract bookings, by sending enquirers with information about your property the dates they want to book, the price, and a link to make a payment. It will block the dates in your calendar for a specified time of your choice, so no one else can book those dates.
