The upcoming holiday season is a perfect opportunity to drive more direct bookings and boost revenue. Here are a few ways to get started 👇
-
Create Profitable Packages
Bundle rooms with dinners, spa access, or activities like skiing or Christmas events. Let guests add extras such as champagne or late check-out, small touches that enhance both value and experience.
-
Run Smart Campaigns
Set up time-limited offers, early bird bookings, or last-minute stays. Use promo codes for exclusive deals or partner campaigns – a well-timed discount can fill rooms fast.
-
Promote Gift Cards
Gift cards are ideal for the holidays, they generate upfront revenue, attract new guests, and are easy to purchase directly through your booking engine. Try offering a discounted or bonus-value gift card to boost sales even further.
-
Optimize Your Booking Flow
Make sure your booking engine is mobile-friendly and easy to navigate. A smooth, intuitive booking experience reduces drop-offs and increases conversion rates during high-traffic periods.
-
Offer Flexible Payment Options
Give guests choice with pay-now, pay-later, or deposit options. Flexible payment builds confidence, especially for higher-value holiday packages. BookVisit supports multiple payment providers, such as for example Nets. Read more about our PSP integrations here.

Track Your Performance
Use BookVisit’s analytics tools to monitor which campaigns, packages, and channels perform best. Make data-driven adjustments to maximize results throughout the season.
-
Use Waitlists to Capture Demand
Enable waitlists for sold-out dates so guests automatically get notified when rooms become available, helping you fill cancellations and minimize lost revenue.
Small seasonal tweaks can have a big impact on your results. Make the most of this period to drive engagement and profitability. With BookVisit, it’s easy to launch campaigns, create attractive offers, and ensure guests enjoy a seamless booking experience. If you’d like advice on how to tailor your setup just get in touch.
