Include up-to-date rates in digital marketing campaigns with Dynamic Rate Ads.

iHotelier clients running Single Media campaigns are now able to use Dynamic Rate Ads, a new media enhancement that pulls rates from iHotelier Booking Engine into digital media campaigns on three channels: Display, Search, and Social.

Ads with room rates drive more qualified traffic.

Rates help users make decisions and improve relevance of ad copies and banners. As a result, users who see an ad with the best available rate are more likely to click through to your website and make a booking.

With increased conversion rates come cost efficiencies: Listing price encourages more qualified leads to click through to your website and reduces dollars spent on users who users who are less likely to click if the price is not within their budgets.

Display: Show rates on display remarketing ads.

Enterprise iHotelier customers can have targeted rates and promotions from iHotelier Booking Engine flow through to display remarketing ads, which are built with creative designed to attract more users looking at a similar budget range.

The content generated on the Display Ad depends on the user‘s behavior on your website:

When a guest visits a booking engine, clickstream data captures information like stay dates, room type, number of rooms and guests, and rate. This clickstream data is used to populate an ad template with pre-approved creative. The ad dynamically updates via an API call to iHotelier Booking Engine to verify rate, availability, and promotions. A personalized ad is served, and the guest books your hotel!

 

 

Display will launch in the EU soon due to GDPR restrictions.
