OTA Strategy

If you have ever worked with OTAs, you can empathize when you hear the words “necessary evil.” Our clients repeatedly tell us “we hate the margins, but we need their business.” After all, independent hotels are paying up to 30% commission for every booking, so it’s natural to question whether or not you need to partner with OTAs like Expedia, Priceline, and Orbitz. With an effective OTA strategy in place, you will not only increase the ADR from the OTA channel, but you will also see an increase in ADR from your direct channels leading to the highest RevPar levels your hotel has ever achieved. Lights On has a proven model that has helped over 20 hotels beat the competition using the Lights On OTA strategy.

WHY HAVE AN OTA STRATEGY?

INCREASED VISIBILITY

Whether you are an established hotel or a new property, an effective OTA strategy makes it easier for consumers to book your hotel. As powerhouse OTAs continue to invest in key emerging technologies, a presence there leads to a “billboard effect” that overflows into direct web traffic over time.

INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

Booking behavior varies by booking origin. Many international markets are still more trusting of OTAs such as Expedia, Priceline or Orbitz than direct websites. Don't miss out on opportunities to get your hotel in front of international bookers.
