The Gold account is the most advanced account in WebReserv. It unlocks all options and features of the system and allows you to make the most of the system. Let us present you 3 features of the GOLD account that really can take your business to another level.
1. Email customization: Convert your emails into a marketing weapon
When a customer makes a reservation through the booking system, WebReserv automatically sends him a confirmation email. This is a great feature because it gives your customers instant notification, all the details of their reservation and the assurance that they have successfully made the booking. But, can you do more? Can you improve the customers experience even further? The answer is yes, and you can do it by customizing your emails. Customizing your emails allows you to make sure that you’re using the right information at the right time, contextual precise information if you will. Customized emails assure you that the format and the content of your emails fit the situation. Both aspects really add value to your service. There are 3 different kind of emails that can be customized:
Confirmation Email: This is the first email your customer is going to receive from your business, so it requires special care. Make sure you include all the information in it (meeting point, time, date, participants, contact details, etc.) so the customer is assured that his reservation has been processed and you are ready to receive him. You can also use it to promote other services of yours, e.g: “We also have a fantastic boat tour available the same day, see more details here: http://www.yoursite.com“, cross sell or upsell.
Pre visit Email: The pre visit Email can be sent whenever you like before the day your customer arrives (ex: 7 days before). This is a great way to avoid confusions about date, time, place or price. It is also a great platform to include important information about their room/rental/tour, items to bring, pick up location, or check in time. Your customers will certainly appreciate the reminder as they are getting prepared to use your products/services.
Post visit Email: The post visit Email can be sent a certain amount of time after the day your customer uses your products/services (e.g.: 2 days after). You will normally use it to thank your customers as well as ask them to share their feedback. If you work with TripAdvisor reviews, this email is about to become your best friend. It is also the best place to include links to social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. and to convert a standard customer into a proactive customer. If you sell other products or services, don’t lose the opportunity to use the post visit Email to remind about other services or products so you can boost your sales.
The email customization feature will give your customers a better and closer experience from the first contact to the last. These emails allow you greater communication with your customers, and create that wanted added value to your sales and marketing strategy.

2. Custom fields: Increase your revenue per reservation
The Custom fields is a feature that allows you to acquire additional information about your client and his preferences, such as “Smoker/Non Smoker”, “Arrival time”, “Vegetarian”, “Flight number”, etc. This customizing of the experience booked with you leads to even greater client satisfaction. There is no better pampering than taking care of those small details.
But what most businesses don’t know is that you actually can associate a price to each option thereby opening up to creating additional revenue to each booking by selling complementary services and products if you wish to do so. You can ask questions like, “Do you want breakfast with your room?”, “Do you need a GPS with your car?”, or “Would you like to enjoy the VIP service?”
Use this great feature to increase either your revenue or service or both for each and single reservation.
