Facebook Integration Suggestions
Here's a list of possible inclusions in your custom Facebook page.
Content
Your content should provide enough information to drive fans to make a booking on your online reservations facility. We recommend including a short description of your property to summarise your best features and facilities, as well as a few carefully selected photos and videos.
Online Reservations
We recommend including a functionality to allow you to accept online reservations. eTourism can design a search form to be included in the custom design page. This search form will post data to your online reservations system with the results loading in a new window.
Quote Form
We can include an online enquiry form if you feel your guests prefer contacting you by email. You will receive the enquiry as an email to your Hotel.
Exclusive Offers
A great way to build loyalty is to offer your Facebook fans an exclusive discount. You may choose to include a coupon or voucher offer.
Multiple Pages
It's possible to design and implement more than one Facebook page for your business, so you might choose to have one page for your hotel and another page for your on-site restaurant. The choice is yours!
