| Booking Engine |
You purchase a license to use a booking engine from a booking engine company and they charge you either a flat monthly fee regardless of how many reservation you do or they charge you a percentage of the reservations you make without actively participating in any efforts to bring reservations. In essence - they are riding on your pre-existing marketing efforts |
ISIS provides you with a user friendly booking engine free of charge as part of a package. Furthermore, as Isis continues to update the booking engine's feature we listen to your requests and try to add them when a new version is periodically released |
| Promoting you solely |
Your property is being promoted as part of other hotels in your area. In fact, many online promoters and portals use your hotel name to lure visitors to their site and then end up selling them rooms in hotels which are competitors of yours! |
We only promote your hotel. When we do a campaign promoting your name it will bring visitors to your web page only. Even under our portal option we bring visitors to your page at the portal. |
| Selling other amenities |
Most online operators do not provide you with tools to pre-sell other amenities you have on the property. |
If you wish Isis will build into your site options to pre-sell spaces in your restaurant, conference rooms, spa, etc. |
| Hosting and related expenses |
- You need to pay an ISP to host your site and provide you with email addresses
- You need to pay an annual fee to a registrar for your domain name
|
- Isis hosts your web site for free and provides you with email addresses at no extra charge
- Isis also picks up the domain name fee
|
| Expenses |
You end up paying multiple vendors regardless of the number of reservations you receives |
Isis gets paid on a success base only - if we spend thousands of dollars promoting your hotel and you didn't get any reservations, we don't get paid. If you do well as a result of our efforts we received a small percentage (smaller than most virtual travel agents) |
