The term "voucher system" is an umbrella term for voucher software that enables the creation, design and monitoring of vouchers. In the hotel industry, in combination with a holistic hotel management software that is PMS compatible, it offers the possibility to automate customer relations and all other measures that belong to guest management.
Integrating a voucher system into the hotel website and hotel software
Ideally, hotel voucher systems can be integrated as a voucher store into the hotel website and especially into the hotel software or PMS (Property Management System). With an integrated voucher store, (potential) guests and prospects can easily create, personalize, pay for and print vouchers online. Thanks to the integration with the PMS, the vouchers are automatically recorded in the hotel system.
Benefits of a Hotel Voucher System
Voucher marketing with its own online voucher system is considered an important sub-discipline of hotel online marketing.
The biggest advantage for the hotel industry is the additional revenue: hotels also benefit from the fact that about 30% of all vouchers are never redeemed. Other benefits include increased brand awareness and new customer acquisition. A voucher app can be used to attract new guests or target groups, as well as to retain existing customers. Accordingly, a fully automated voucher software for the hotel has a positive effect in terms of relieving the management, increasing sales and guest loyalty.
For guests, a clear and easy-to-use voucher system with flexible payment methods offers the advantage of being able to benefit from discounts and rebate promotions in an uncomplicated manner, thus providing an intrinsic motivation to stay with the hotel booking.
