Kat's Pro Tip for Tour and Rental Booking Windows

Written by Indexic Team | Jan 16, 2019 1:39:28 AM

Understanding your customer's planning style is key to optimizing booking windows.

Consider the time commitment of your offerings. Snorkeling adventures or sailing trips likely occupy a significant chunk of a vacation day, requiring more planning compared to a last-minute kayak rental.

For meticulous planners who build itineraries months ahead, adjust your booking window accordingly. Additionally, factor in price – pricier tours or activities often get booked well in advance (up to three weeks) as customers secure their spot and plan their trip around it.

Tours, rentals, and activities that require less time commitment are often considered impulse purchases and should be catered to accordingly in your tour and rental booking software. It is essential to keep your booking windows open up to an hour before the departure time to accommodate those last-minute buyers. Embrace walk-up customers as well, as Indexic Tour and Rental booking software provide real-time availability of all your resources and equipment, making it seamless to manage on-the-spot bookings. By offering this flexibility, you can capture spontaneous customers and increase your sales potential.

Adjust your booking windows accordingly to maximize your potential tour, rental, or activity profits. When your tour operator management 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.
