Turn On-Property Amenities into Seamless Booking Opportunities

Unlock new revenue opportunities by enabling direct bookings for resource-based experiences on-property.

Resource-based experiences include any recurring amenity or service offered through the brand, such as cabanas, day passes, wellness classes, and equipment rentals. With Way Reserve, guests can seamlessly discover, book, and pay for these offerings on the hotel’s website, ensuring deeper engagement and sustained brand visibility.

How to build resource-based experiences

Your website is crucial for establishing credibility and trust with customers.  

In fact, 94% of first impressions are design-related. What’s more, 75% of users judge a brand’s credibility by its website design. This also means that your brand loses credibility and trust when you drive visitors offsite to book experiences.

  • Way’s sleek white-label booking engine seamlessly blends with your existing website design to:
    1. Maintain brand consistency: No jarring transitions to a separate platform. Guests discover, reserve, and pay for experiences directly on your website, ensuring a cohesive digital journey with a brand they trust.
    2. Maximize conversion rates: Fewer clicks, more purchases. Optimize your website for conversions with Way’s seamless booking interface.
    3. Own your customer data: Capture valuable guest data for future marketing efforts and personalized promotions, fostering deeper customer relationships.

We believe you should own your experiential offerings end-to-end. That’s why our stunning user interface inherits the look and feel of your website, keeping branding consistent as customers discover, reserve, and pay for experiences without ever leaving your website.

Unlock more upsell opportunities with resource mapping

Give your customers the luxury of choice when booking experiences to boost loyalty while driving more ancillary revenue. With resource mapping, you can display an immersive view of resources directly and create upsell opportunities by:

  • Empowering guests to personalize their experience with resource selection, such as the option to book a cabana closer to the pool. Watch your conversion rates soar as guests personalize their stay.
  • Maximizing revenue during peak periods with demand pricing. This lets you adjust resource pricing based on availability and seasonality, ensuring you capture full value for your offerings.
  • Enabling pre-arrival food and beverage add-ons to drive more revenue before guests arrive.

Make more data-driven decisions with analytics  

Access qualitative and quantitative data about what experiences resonate most with your guests at any time using Way analytics.  

Identify your top performers, solicit reviews, gather data about how experiences impact guest satisfaction, and more. Use this information to refine and scale your experiential strategy to drive loyalty and profits, and create life-long advocates for your brand.
