Hey guys,

Would just like to know if there are any plans to add promotions into the functionality of beds24 for our own website bookings. currently, if we set up something on a channel like booking.com we have to create a new mirror rate on beds24 which is reduced to match the final OTA price. this works for now but does not highlight on the web page that the rate is 'reduced' would be nice to have the functionality to compete with the big boys especially now that price parity requirement has been removed world wide.

Cheers!

You can set up a promotion as an additional offer in Beds24 which you make only available when you have a price so guests can only see it when it runs.

Have a look here:

for instructions.

Hi

Thanks for this, we are already using offers but it doesn't really act as a 'promotion' more just an additional rate category. The idea is to actually have a way to highlight the PROMO aspect of it. Ie say the last min Deal or 20% reduction Across certain dates. something that shows customer the promotion is applied or shows the comparison price. at the moment it just shows an adjustment to rate prices without really any way to highlight what is going on.

any way to make this possible? would be a useful feature to balance our marketing against the main OTA's practices

You can communicate this in the description of your offer.
