How to Increase Hotel Bookings through Your Facebook Page?

NOTE: This guide is for Softinn hotel subscribers.

Hello Softinn Extranet user. If you happened to run a Facebook page for your hotel/resort, you will surely be spending long hour replying your FB fans private message. More than often, they are asking you for the availability of your hotel / resort if not how to make booking.

Even if they agree to book, you would very likely go for manual procedures to jot down their name, contact, check-in & check-out date, and any other special request. Then, you would need to follow up for deposit payment for the booking. Worst still, when you mention payment to them, some guests would have just gone quiet. All your effort and time would then be wasted.

We know how painful it is, and so we made you this video on how to install a “Contact Us” button to your FB Page and that saves you from all the manual booking hassles.
