Another Aucklander - Accommodation Booking

[hotdigitaldog]

Hi there,

Vodahost looks like good value and impressive - I already like BlueVoda. Our business will involve promotion of a niche-market lodge. We would be interested to know whether there are website features which could help people make online accommodation bookings according to availability. We would be looking at four guest rooms only.

Thanks

As suggested earlier, customizing a FORM would prove to be the easiest and most servicable means to interact with prospective clients: it could be emailed directly to your sales office for a "personal response" of availability, or sent to another "outside booking" entity.

True "live-time" availability checking can be mimiced with a different application of a utility such "LiveSupport!" (included Free with every account), but this is truly a chat platform, without the structure you might be familiar with.

Another far-fetched option would be to apply a Forum utility as a hybrid "message board" that clients can post requests and receive semi-live responses. You can restrict the "topic threads" to act as pure review resources (descriptions of rooms, tours, transportation, etc.) and have a single Forum accessible to monitor.....but it is still a Forum, and client posts would be visible to all.

Lastly, you may wish to simply pay to join a professional travel association/vendor (there are many) to take advantage of their "travel planner/ itinerary maker" online utilites. Many times, though, these arrangements require you to list additional properties and services that although they compliment a travel site, are less specifically focused than desired.

I would personally opt to create a detailed "Form" that would be emailed to my Sales Office, who would be prepared to promptly follow up with a personal level of expertise to demonstrate the appeal of your property.


Welcome to VodaHost!

Looking forward to working with you.

Wow! I'm so impressed by these responses, thanks very much. We have decided to sign up with VodaHost on the basis of this community/service approach. I'm going to try the Forms option.
