Reservation Management

Kat's Pro Tip: Adjust Tour and Rental Booking Windows Accordingly

It’s important to identify how your customer views the types of tours, rentals, and activities you provide. Will it take up an entire day of their vacation like snorkeling or a sailing trip? Or is it a few hours of fun that can be decided at the last minute? Many people create itineraries months in advance for their trips, and your booking windows should be adjusted for those planners. The more expensive the tour, rental, or activity, the more likely they are to book up to three weeks in advance to secure their reservation and plan the rest of their trip around the excursion.

Tours, rentals, and activities that demand less time commitment can be seen as impulse purchases and should be treated as such in your tour and rental booking software. Make sure your booking windows are open right up to an hour before departure time, so you’re able to capture those last-minute buyers. Walk-ups are welcome too, and with Indexic Tour and Rental booking software, you will see the real-time availability of all your resources and equipment.

Adjust your booking windows accordingly to maximize your potential tour, rental, or activity profits. When your booking software has the flexibility to set multiple booking windows, you can capture the most customers based on current buying habits.

Another great idea to fill in the lower demand times is to use discount codes.  Check out this article on some ways you could implement discount/coupon codes for your tour or rental company.
