How to Increase Booking Ratios | Video Interview with Pegasus’ COO Ric Leutwyler on What Hoteliers can do to Increase Booking Ratios

VFM Leonardo today launched a new video interview on VTV Channel called How to Increase Booking Ratios. Online consumers have many more options and are much more demanding today than they were three or even two years ago. In this video, John McAuliffe, VFM Leonardo’s Chief Marketing Officer and Ric Leutwyler, Chief Operating Officer and President, Representation Services Pegasus Solutions, Inc., discuss the significant factors that impact sales conversions online and offer tips on how to increase booking ratios, including:

  • Remember “it’s not about how you do things, it’s about how consumers do things”
  • Ensure that images, video, virtual tours and written content are always available to the consumer
  • Capitalize on the positive things that are said about the hotel

“So many more people are relying [on content] whether it’s through your own controlled channel or through these other channels that might be presenting the content in their way. The return on investment is huge.” states Leutwyler.
