1) Advance Purchase Discounts

Encourage guests to plan with Advance Purchase Discounts. This option offers scaled discounts based on how far in advance a booking is made. The earlier they book, the more they save, incentivising early reservations and ensuring higher occupancy rates.

2) Multi-Night Discounts

Increase your average booking value with Multi-Night Discounts. This type of discount is scaled based on the number of nights a guest stays. Longer stays mean higher discounts, encouraging guests to extend their visit and enjoy more of what your property has to offer.

3) Device-Specific Discounts

Tap into the mobile booking market with Device-Specific Discounts. By identifying guests using smartphones or tablets, you can offer exclusive deals to those who prefer booking on the go. This personalized approach can significantly increase your mobile direct bookings.

4) Last-Minute Deals

Fill those vacant rooms and increase revenue with Last-Minute Deals. Target spontaneous bookers by offering discounts on last-minute bookings. This strategy is particularly effective during peak seasons or periods of low occupancy, ensuring you make the most of every opportunity.

5) Pay Now Discounts

Boost immediate revenue with Pay Now Discounts. Offer special rates to guests who choose to pay at the time of booking. This incentive not only secures your revenue in advance but also provides guests with a compelling reason to finalize their bookings quickly.

6) Regional Discounts

Expand your reach with Regional Discounts. Tailor your offers to guests from specific regions or countries, attracting international visitors and tapping into new markets. This feature is perfect for properties looking to diversify their guest base and enhance global appeal.
