Process for Both Consumers and Restaurants/Destinations |
NEW YORK, April 6, 2000 - ireserve.com, a real-time,
Web-based reservations and appointments system for local merchants and
professional services, goes live April 6, announced founder and CEO David
Kanbar. ireserve.com is poised to become the premiere online reservation
destination on the Web. In addition to offering the ability to make
real-time reservations at its participating merchants such as restaurants,
health clubs, hair salons and spas, ireserve.com will also partner with
major reservation and ticket purchasing sites from the travel, entertainment,
and hospitality industries to offer the Internet�s most comprehensive reservation
selection.
ireserve.com provides users the unique opportunity to book a multitude of appointments and reservations at one Web site, from restaurant tables, personal trainers, and spa treatments to airline tickets and doctor and dentist appointments. Bookings can be made through the ireserve.com Web site and soon through a Web-based phone or Personal Digital Assistant. �ireserve.com brings the ability to book a number of different appointments and reservations through one Web site. Consumers can plan and book a week, month or even a year�s schedule on ireserve.com,� says Joe Gawronski, president and chief operating officer of ireserve.com. �ireserve.com also provides users the ability to keep track of the bookings through our online Palm/Outlook syncable calendar, which is updated automatically when new appointments are scheduled.� The goal of ireserve.com is to simplify the reservation process for both consumers and merchants. From a business-to-business standpoint, Kanbar and Gawronski are working with their merchant customers to make their businesses more efficient by developing one-to-one marketing campaigns that utilize the enhanced level of information they will have about their clientele. ireserve.com will primarily drive traffic to its merchants by forging
relationships with existing portals, rather than launching a massive consumer
marketing campaign. �We provide a valuable service to many consumer
sites so forging a relationship with them is a win-win for all parties
concerned,� said Kanbar. �Using our reservations engine, they will
be able to provide their users with an enhanced level of service and functionality,
and we will drive traffic to our merchants who pay us for that service.�
�The launch of our site is only the first phase of ireserve.com. We�re still developing partnerships with key merchants, portals and other reservations services that will add value to ireserve.com and expand the offerings to our merchants and the Web site�s visitors. We have already signed on several high-end merchants that we will be announcing over the course of the next few weeks,� Kanbar comments. Kanbar, former executive vice president at Skyy Spirits, and Gawronski,
former vice president in the equity division of Salomon Smith Barney, sought
a team with a diverse background and recruited people with years of combined
experience. As a result, ireserve.com�s management and board of advisors
are comprised of leaders from the finance, advertising/marketing, and Internet
industries.
ireserve.com is the Internet�s most comprehensive reservations and appointments booking engine. ireserve.com provides individuals the ability to book and confirm a variety of appointments, offers its merchants a new marketing channel and revenue opportunity, and is poised to become the Internet�s one-stop reservations and appointments destination. |
