These Promo Codes can be used to deliver specific or discounted ra= te plans or packages by using a local Agent and then mapping that 'promo co= de' to the Agents Allocations.
Follow these steps to set up a Promo Code and corresponding Rate P= lan.
Here are two examples of how to use promo code agents to either pr=
ovide a flat discount, or to sell as a Package. These are just two examples=
of how using Agent Allocation features in BookingCenter can help your onli=
ne marketing.
Flat Discount: Our hypo=
thetical property wishes to offer a 15% discount to all employees of a loca=
l company 'Ted's Widgets' when staying in our Queen or King rooms. We first=
create our local agent at SETUP | RELATIONSHIPS | MY AGENTS and name it TE=
DWIDG, we also set the agent class to 'promo code'. Next we go to SETU=
P | RELATIONSHIPS | AGENT RELATIONSHIPS and allocate our Rack Rate Plan(s) =
for the Queen and King types to the agent. Once that's done, while still on=
the Agent Relationships screen we once again find agent TEDWIDG and set Ra=
te Load to -15. When employees of Ted's Widgets go to make a booking on the=
booking engine they would enter TEDWIDG in the promo code box and the Room=
Types and Rates displayed to them would be adjusted by the rate loading, i=
n this case 15%.
Selling a Package: O=
ur hypothetical property has a dynamic or fixed package in which we offer a=
two night stay in a queen room and one full day of guided fly fishing. We =
want people to be able to book this off our website with the code 'FLYGUIDE=
' so we create a local agent named FLYGUIDE and set the agent class to prom=
o code. Then we allocate only the desired package to the queen type for age=
nt FLYGUIDE. Because we're not trying to discount the package via the promo=
code there's no need to adjust rate loading.
