2007 Hospitality Innovations by Reservation Nexus

For 2007 Reservation Nexus was the first to offer permission-based, seamless automated marketing also known as the Auto Pilot edition of Reservation Nexus. Affordable and customizable, innkeepers can even choose from a library of template designs to send out everything from thank you e-mails, newsletters, maps and directions, e-mails for birthdays and anniversaries and promotions.

In addition, Reservation Nexus released one of the most advanced specials and packages engine on the market. Specials and packages were also supported for Must See, Must Have ^TM.

Below are some of the exciting innovations that Reservation Nexus introduced to the lodging industry in 2007.

2007 Reservation Nexus Innovations

Specials and Packages

Reservation Nexus has the most advanced specials and packages engine on the market. When Reservation Nexus launched specials and packages in 2007, we made it efficient and more intuitive for innkeepers to create specials and packages.

Before 2007, specials and packages were offered as drop down menus without pictures. We recognized that pictures are not only inviting to guests but help guests to identify at a glance which package works for them.

Seamless Automated Marketing

Reservation Nexus was the first to offer permission-based, seamless automated marketing. Permission-based marketing is powerful but can be time consuming if you don't automate your permission-based marketing efforts. In this fast-paced world, taking the time to write out birthday and thank you cards really isn't possible.

Seamless automated marketing with Reservation Nexus not only saves innkeepers more time but actually increases their bottom line.

Automated Permission-Based Reviews

When Reservation Nexus released seamless automated marketing we took it a notch up by adding links to travel review sites such as TripAdvisor.com in the thank you e-mails, reminding guests to leave a review about their stay. More reviews about you leads to more coverage on the web and more potential bookings. Most of our innkeepers see a huge increase in ratings in a handful of weeks.

Front Desk Page

In 2007, Reservation Nexus replaced the "Checking in, Checking Out" feature with enhanced front desk management. Front Desk provides an all-in-one view of arrivals, departures, and stay-overs. New arrivals are displayed by the estimated arrival time.

Auto Add Retail or Fee - By Room

With its fresh approach to online bookings and guest management, Reservation Nexus introduced the auto add retail item feature and even released it by room. This innovative feature gave more freedom and more money back to Reservation Nexus innkeepers who previously had to add attach retail items to each room reservation. Now parking fees, cleaning charges and breakfasts can be automatically added to rooms. Finally gone are the wasted hours of adding and hassling with guests about mandatory surcharges. Reservation Nexus innovates time and time again to ensure that innkeepers continue to save more time and more money and not more headaches.
