Customers online booking survey
As part of of customer service initiative, we recently asked prospective customers to list the main reasons why they had not yet embraced online booking technology. Three statements made up more than 90% of the feedback received from respondents. We have therefore, listed and responded to, some of the common misconceptions heard when considering the purchase and implementation of an online booking engine:
1) It costs too much:
It doesn’t have to be an expensive exercise. In fact Billian are already one step ahead of the game and have partnered with one of the GDS systems to bring you an ‘out of the box’ fully e-commerce, standard solution at an extremely competitive price. This is perfect for anybody that is looking to initiate an online presence for their agency. Amongst other functionalities, agents are able to customise the solution with their own commercial branding, manage all of their mark ups and transaction fees as well as load any corporate codes and deal codes.
2) It’s too complicated:
Again, it doesn’t have to be! The same ‘out of the box’ solution offers full support from representatives at the GDS system. They guide you through the different options explaining the different offerings and then pass everything over to Billian. We set it up for you and deliver a fully functioning internet booking engine. All you have to do is check that you are happy with it.
3) Will it really make a difference?
Yes it will. Research has proven that more and more people prefer to make bookings online in the comfort of their own home rather than going into the shop. It’s quicker, easier and less hassle. By taking your business online you are appealing to a much wider audience and tempting more people with your deals and offers. You are enlarging your presence within the industry and improving your reputation. And don’t forget – it’s another marketing source for you! You can use the site to advertise your business and create an interest therefore attracting more people to come to you and book.
John Hutchison, Sales and Business Development Manager at Billian said "Getting your business up and running online or even changing providers can be a daunting prospect. At Billian we completely understand this and we have developed a specialised product to ensure that the process runs smoothly with maximum support. You can have a fully e-commerce online booking solution with minimal costs and effort. We’ve already done the hard work for you."
