Coakley & Williams Hotel Management Company, a high performance management company, has been testing hotelWebSpace at 16 properties during hotelSystemsPro�s development phase. "Our company is already seeing the benefits and revenue potential that hotelWebSpace has to offer," said Mike Parent, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Coakley & Williams Hotel Management Company. "One of my properties recently booked a $1,700 package from their hotelWebSpace landing page. The shopper was surfing the Internet looking for things to do in the area and our customized event package popped up in the search results. They were so excited; they even booked an additional night." With the guidance of hotelWebSpace, hotel marketers can create landing pages that link back to the property's website and booking engine, or provide viewers the option of emailing the page to a friend. A blog function, moderated by the property, allows guests to comment on their experiences with the hotel. "hotelWebSpace is a dynamic and interactive online system that can advance the revenue potential of any property in any market," said Chip Carroll, president of hotelSystemsPro.

Email alerts can be generated automatically when pages requiring corporate approval prior to publication are ready for review. Free bi-weekly webinars are provided to teach hotel professionals best practices for maximizing the benefits of hotelWebSpace. Topics can range from developing effective search strings to gathering competitive marketplace information. hotelSystemsPro customers include companies operating properties from select-service to full-service hotels across all brands, as well as catering venues and private clubs. hotelSalesPro, hotelServicePro and hotelWebSpace systems are provided to more than 2,000 properties with approximately 15,000 users in hospitality and other industries.
