An award-winning owner and operator of some of the most luxurious hotels, resorts and residences located in prime destinations around the world.

Objective

Due to ongoing pandemic-induced travel restrictions, the hotel group lost core markets that previously frequented the hotel, especially business travelers, international guests and convention attendees. The luxury hotel operator devised innovative ways to expand their customer base by enticing local residents to visit the hotel.

They thought of implementing a voucher sales platform that would potentially generate an influx of purchases for fine dining, staycations, experiential packages and corporate gifts by local consumers & businesses.

The sales and marketing team looked to existing voucher platforms as a new way of creating revenue but found them too limited and inflexible to meet their particular needs. Other third-party providers also wanted to discount the products sold while charging exorbitant fees on every sale.
They wanted a solution to

  • Allow creation of innovative digital products – fine dining, staycations, experiential packages and corporate gifts
  • Implement an end-to-end tracking & redemption of these vouchers
  • Allow bulk Sales to Local businesses

The following were the requirements set forth by the hotel’s revenue team.
