December 15, 2010   –   Hotel rate-shopping is increasing in today’s economy. In response, John Ascuaga’s Nugget Casino Resort is adding revenue-generating features to online reservations so customers are less likely to look elsewhere for competitive rates.

“Giving guests the ability to upsell themselves is valuable for them and golden for the property,” said Beth Cooney, the Nugget’s executive director of marketing. “The eConcierge system enables us to capture more of the guest’s trip while they are with us so they spend more time on property. We already generated more than $50,000 the first half of this year through eConcierge.”  Cooney added that when a guest books additional amenities with their room reservation, they are less likely to rate-shop.
According to Cooney, eConcierge and its pre-stay marketing approach is the perfect fit for the 1,600-room property in Sparks, Nevada. “Our out-of-town guests come mostly from Northern California, Sacramento, and the Bay Area, and we always look for ways to set the property apart and focus our attention on customers.  eConcierge does this by letting guests create a customized vacation as soon as they make their reservation.”
Cendyn provides eConcierge page templates for the Nugget’s website.  The template pages have Nugget’s branding and make it easy for Cooney’s staff to update the property’s packages and amenities. executive royal inn calgary  The new site gives reserved guests current information about upcoming events, scheduled entertainers such as Clint Black and Rick Springfield, holiday executive royal inn calgary shows, and other activities they can book. eConcierge interfaces with Nugget’s property executive royal inn calgary management system (PMS) for a seamless link between reservation information executive royal inn calgary and the eConcierge engine that creates e-mail confirmations and amenity executive royal inn calgary booking.
