Vail, Colo. -- Travelscream is meeting the demand for hotels to deliver informational and intuitive mobile applications to guests with the Travelscream Smartphone App, a customized, low-cost platform designed to improve ancillary revenue by connecting users with special offers before, during and after their stay.
The Travelscream Smartphone App includes notifications and navigation highlighting on- and off-property offers, with all new bookings fulfilled through the hotel concierge.
The one-to-one private sales environment also gives the hotel an opportunity to present better deals than users can find online to increase repeat business and referrals.
To improve and personalize the overall guest experience, the app relays useful property and destination information in a digital format.
According to CEO Tom Griffin, Travelscream created the mobile platform to meet the very vocal demand from hoteliers for an inexpensive app that could be customized, delivered rapidly, and act as a platform on which they can direct messages to guests quickly and effectively.
"The Travelscream Smartphone App gives hoteliers a new way to stay in close contact with the guest while inspiring them to experience everything the property and destination have to offer," he said. "The hotel benefits by realizing revenue from each of those guest interactions, many of which may not have occurred without the mobile interface."
Travelscream will deliver the first rendition of the Smartphone App targeted to iPhone users by late March. Apps for Blackberry and Android OS phones will soon follow.
The Travelscream Smartphone App is being presented as a premium add-on to the Travelscream Social Media Toolkit, a complete platform of digital content distribution and social engagement tools including guestbooks, interactive maps, video hosting and more.
In addition to the Social Media Toolkit, Travelscream is best known for its Travel Deals Network -- a digital travel offer distribution network reaching more than 50 million unique website visitors and 30 million opt-in emails monthly through an exclusive content distribution platform that leverages the audiences of leading media partners.
