“In this environment of stagnating occupancy rates and rising supply, hoteliers only have two ways to improve the bottom line: boost direct bookings, thus lowering distribution costs, and stealing market share from the competition that is asleep at the wheel” said Max Starkov, President & CEO of HeBS Digital. “The time for complacency is over and hoteliers need to focus on the direct online channel and lessen their dependency on the OTAs. HeBS Digital is passionate about the new “Jumpstart Your Direct Bookings” package, which helps hoteliers own their customers, maximize revenues through the most cost efficient channel – their own property websites, and outsmart the competition.”

The “Jumpstart Your Direct Bookings” package includes the smartCMS v7 website technology platform, a three-time winner of the coveted Gold Stevie Award (American Business Awards). The smartCMS serves as the foundation for reservation-driving marketing strategies and offers a Smart Personalization Engine, one-to-one marketing opportunities, reservation abandonment programs and more.
