How to Make the Most of BloomPro’s Booking Extras

Key takeaways:  

  • BloomPro’s Enhanced Booking Extras make it easy to upsell extras and boost guest spending.  
  • Create room-specific extras, so you’re only showing guests what’s relevant to their stay.  
  • Use pictures so guests can see exactly what they’re getting; a bottle of wine, a bouquet of flowers, or a box of chocolates.  

 

Part of the charm of staying in independent accommodation is the extras that elevate your stay.  

It might be bringing along your beloved pet, popping a bottle of wine on arrival, or booking late checkout for a luxurious long lie.  

It’s these personal touches that keep guests coming back. 

Of course, property owners need to make money as well as provide memorable stays. Having worked with independent properties for over 28 years, we know the effort that goes into every booking. We also know that many guests are happy to pay for thoughtful extras that make their stay even more memorable. 

That’s why we’re making it easier to upsell extras and boost guest spending with BloomPro.

 

How do BloomPro’s Enhanced Booking Extras work?  

Our BloomPro booking pages make it easier and faster for guests to book directly with you. Features like Express Checkout boost conversion by an average of 11%!  

BloomPro’s Enhanced Booking Extras help you show the right extras to the right guests – making them easier to discover, easier to manage, and more likely to be added to a booking 

This helps savvy hoteliers upsell extras to guests at the right price. You can: 

  • Offer extras that are relevant to each room type (perfect for pet-free or pet-friendly rooms) 
  • Set different prices based on room type 
  • Add images so guests know exactly what they’re getting  
  • Reduce mistakes by only showing guests what’s relevant to their booking 

 

⬆️ What your guests see when adding extras

 

Once added, extras show up in your freetobook diary at room level. This makes managing multi-room bookings much easier – you’ll be bringing the bottle of wine to the right room first time!

Booking extras inspiration  

We’ve seen all kinds of booking extras, from the functional to the fantastical. The great thing is that you can customise extras to match your unique property.

Depending on your property, you could consider offering:  

  • Practical extras, like cots and extra beds for little guests; bike or e-scooter hires; dog-friendly rooms (you could even throw in a dog welcome basket!); or early check-in and late check-out to help guests make the most of their stay.  
  • Food and beverage packages, like themed welcome baskets for birthdays, graduations, and honeymoons; morning coffee and pastry delivered for a delicious breakfast in bed; or homemade packed lunches to set your guests up for the day.  
  • Seasonal extras, like a Valentine’s Day hamper; champagne for New Years celebrations; or even a Christmas tree set up!
