Promotions
How can hotels offer promotions to the distributors?
The promotions can be offered to the distributors through the B2B marketplace. One has to go on the Partners tab where you will find the promotions tab, through this the hotel can run different kinds of promotions.
What kind of promotions should hotels offer to the distributors?
The hotel can offer various types of promotions to distributors, such as day-of-the-week discounts, early-bird offers, last-minute deals, and long-stay promotions. These promotions should align with the discounts offered on OTAs, ensuring competitive rates for B2B distributors while allowing agents sufficient margin to operate effectively.
How will these promotions be calculated?
The promotion is first deducted from the sell rate updated in the channel manager, resulting in an effective sell rate. The configured commission is then deducted from this effective sell rate, converting it into a net, non-commissionable rate. This net rate is subsequently distributed across the B2B distributor channels. All promotions are applied in accordance with the promotion rules, with the highest applicable promotion taking precedence.
