Stein Eriksen Lodge Taps Maestro's Social Media Widget for Bookings
Now that Maestro PMS makes it possible to instantly book hotel reservations directly from social sites, Forbes’ 5-Star Stein Eriksen Lodge in Park City, Utah (which uses Maestro PMS for property management) is all over it.
“We just implemented Maestro’s social media widget on our Facebook page,” said John Perry, communications manager for Stein Eriksen Lodge. “It has a great design and gives guests an easy way to book directly from Facebook. We like its attractive ‘Book Now’ opportunity and how it presents our property.”
With Maestro’s new Social Media Booking Widget, people who visit a property on social media can also directly book a room without leaving the page. It was created to be easy for guests as well as for properties. The thinking is that if someone posts a picture and comment about a property where they stayed, their friends often click on the property link to check it out. If they like what they see, they can instantly book from the property’s Facebook page.
The widget can link to a Twitter feed that pushes people to a Facebook fan page or directly to ResWave. Booking takes place directly in a Maestro PMS-users’ ResWave booking engine, so rates and availability are always current.
Maestro’s Social Media Booking Widget is part of their guest engagement offerings, which also includes eSignature capture, curbside iPad Xpress Check-In/Out, Mobile Online Checkin, Mobile Housekeeping, and Mobile Folio Display. To help their clients implement these features, Maestro’s Management Services Group works with properties to develop landing pages and website design to make it easy for independent operators to have their guests book directly.
