As consumers and businesses, we have become used to comparing prices prior to making a buying decision. However, when selling hotels, there is a less-known trick to help your company increase hotel booking profitability by 36% for existing hotel reservations you ALREADY sold. In this post, we will teach you how to track the price of existing hotel reservations you ALREADY sold to your customers.
Hotel post-booking profit optimization
Why track prices after you sold the hotel and not before?
It´s common practice to check prices on multiple providers prior to booking a hotel and selling it to your customer. However, people don´t realize that hotel prices tend to change AFTER you sell the hotel. Not once, not twice, but 22 times from the moment you sell the hotel until the last date of free cancellation. So even if you booked the best price at the moment you made the reservation, you didn´t necessarily get the best price.
Track prices manually or automatically?
Theoretically, travel companies can monitor and reprice their reservations manually. But, it´s much more complicated and expensive then it sounds. You will end up investing a lot of money and human resources in 24/7 price monitoring for all your hotel reservations across different providers.
Even then, you will only be monitoring prices on your existing suppliers. An average travel company may work with 5-15 hotel suppliers, but there are hundreds of hotel suppliers worldwide, and you could be missing out on some amazing margins limiting yourself to monitoring prices only your existing providers.
Not to mention you will still incur many human errors and inconsistencies that are caused when trying to map the same rooms across different providers. Comparing the room types over multiple suppliers can result in a list of hundreds of different names for the exact same room which makes this manual room mapping inefficient and nearly impossible. Manual room mapping is a complete headache.
However, you can automate this process with an artificial intelligence driven solution that can help you do all the work, automatically and risk free with no-hassle.
