ResAvenue Feature - Total Customisation will help Build Brand Image
September 13, 2008
Did you know that more than 70% people making hotel reservations online abandon their bookings half way through due to security reasons? Yes it’s true! Mainly because while they are trying to make the desired reservation, they are directed to a booking engine that looks nothing like the hotel website, leaving the customer with a sense of insecurity, which makes him think twice about his decision. Not paying enough attention to the customisation feature of websites is the biggest mistake made by most hoteliers today. After spending a good amount of money on your hotel website, you don’t want to make the mistake of not applying enough thought into the look and feel of your website in order to retain existing customers as well as attract new ones. No matter what product or service you're selling; repeat customers will "put you on the map." Repeat customers will continue to purchase from you and they will tell their family and friends about you, thus increasing new business as well. Taking impeccable care of your existing customers is an extremely important step in building a solid customer base, which directly reflects on your brand name.
If a customer trusts you, he will surely buy from you. A customer will identify with you by your brand name and the level of efficiency you bring in your services. Branding creates an image & proper branding creates loyalty. A poorly managed website will repel the customer which will automatically have a negative effect on your booking conversions. For example, what supermarket do you use? What’s your favorite brand of shoes? Taking this exercise a step further, think about what image comes to your mind when you think of Intercontinental? Marriott? Hilton? This shows that, when it comes to branding, your perception is a result of branding strategy. The degree of customization included in your website design serves as an important purpose as it directly determines your online sales.
