Why a Room Image on your reservation pages makes a difference?

January 10, 2009

“We all know that a picture speaks a thousand words, and a good picture will make visitors stop, look and take notice.’

Your hotel website is attractive and your booking engine is easy to use. You even have fancy descriptions of the different types of rooms on your booking engine page to push visitors to complete the booking process. But, there is still some amount of uncertainty in the minds of the customers that lead to loss of sales. You can plug in this sales leak by using images to show the visitor what your hotel has to offer.
For example: You can include a snapshot of each room type next to the description. This has two benefits, one, it eliminates any uncertainty the visitor may have about the rooms and two, based on the image, the visitor may decide to book a more expensive room. Here’s how…

Imagine….. A guest is making a reservation through your hotel’s booking engine. He enters the details required to make the reservation and comes to the ‘Select the type of room’ option. Here he sees multiple choices - Standard, Deluxe or Deluxe Suite. He first opts for the Deluxe Room, but then sees the ‘View Image’ option next to the type of rooms and descriptions. He clicks on the images, loves what he sees and changes his mind to a Deluxe Suite. This way you make a good profit for your hotel business.

Wondering how much you will need to invest to add an image feature to your booking engine?

Don’t be! You can add Room Images to your booking engine page free of cost using ResAvenue’s unique Room Image Feature.

By uploading attractive images of the rooms in your booking engine, through ResAvenue’s Room Image Feature, you will add an extra confidence in the minds of the guest and allow him to make a booking with utmost confidence.

For those who are thinking – ‘I already have good images on my website, then why do I need this?’ Well, you should know that nowadays customers are impatient and everyone likes things done fast. With the Room Image Feature, the customer can directly go to your booking engine and make a reservation, instead of checking out the images on your website first.

  • Click on this button to add a room image to your room description.
  • This will open a browser, which you can use to search for the room image on your PC.
  • Then, select the image and click upload. This will upload your room image onto the system.
  • Make sure that your room image is less than 100 kb and in Jiff or Jpeg format. This will ensure that your image opens quickly when your guest clicks on the ‘View Room Image’ link.
