Easily accessible detailed info

Your website should, above all, be able to respond to all concerns of your visitors as potential guests. Facilities of your property and any details one could wonder should be explained on your site through properly prepared texts. And more importantly, navigation between such texts should be easy.

Impressive photos

No matter how important the texts are, the effect of photographs is higher when it comes to marketing and sales. Photographs on your webpage could tell more than the pages-long texts for your potential guests, and play a major role in triggering the purchasing decision emotionally.

Multi-language support

In order to reach all the potential guests, your website should be able to communicate with them in their own language. Start with the languages of your primary target groups and increase the languages offered on your website. Then you could see higher returns on the sales. That’s why the multi-language support of HotelRunner is among its most attractive features.

Directing to reservation

If you take a look at successful hotel websites, you can see that one of the common features of those websites are special texts and sections aiming to redirect visitors to reservation. Guiding visitors as potential guests in their decision-making process, this redirecting option is visibly effective in increasing the number of online reservations. This option invites visitors to the reservation form through loud and clear expressions. Placing it on different sections of the website could also increase the rate of returns.
