How to Turn One-time Guests into Loyal Customers: WordPress for Hotels

Ann Taylor in WordPress tutorials 1 Comment on How to Turn One-time Guests into Loyal Customers: WordPress for Hotels

Repeat guests for a hotel or vacation rental: a dream or reality? You definitely can bring people back, but it doesn’t bear much resemblance to the retail or restaurant business simply because your guests are not locals.

Let’s start with reasons why guests return (they do!) and then move on to the solutions that can help you improve the retention rate.

Why do people prefer to come back to the same place? The first reason is their initial motivation:

  • work/business-related travelers who found the location and services affordable and suitable.
  • recreational guests, e.g. families or couples that love to spend their vacation in the same location.

The new Hotel Booking Checkout Fields extension allows you to add, edit or remove/hide fields displayed on the checkout page, thus, completely transform it to suit your business.

This will allow you to collect more information from your guests, for example:

  • Personal details required by the policy of your country
  • Require user’s agreements to comply with the policy of your property
  • Ask to specify the basic information, e.g., about pets or children
  • Add extra instructions
  • Add marketing-focused fields, e.g., to learn how people find you.

How to Make Number of Adults & Children Flexible in Hotel Booking Plugin

Ann Taylor in Product updates 13 Comments on How to Make Number of Adults & Children Flexible in Hotel Booking Plugin

Since WordPress booking hotel plugin version 3.7.2, you can make the number of adults and children change dynamically based on the guest’s search parameters and keep the tiered pricing set via Rates.

For example, in the previous version, if the accommodation capacity was two adults and one child, the room wouldn’t appear eligible for a parent with two children simply because there was a “one child” limit in the settings. In reality, a bed for an adult could be used by a child – and even vice versa in some types of properties.

The new plugin version allows you to bring more flexibility to this restriction by designating three separate capacity limits: for adults, children, and the total “capacity”.

This is a little bit different from using the “Guests” field since you can still have a tiered pricing rates system for children and adults separately. The rate will be updated dynamically based on the number of adults and children the guest chooses at checkout.

How to Add Google Analytics to WordPress

Ann Taylor in WordPress tutorials Leave a comment on How to Add Google Analytics to WordPress

Looking at how to add Google Analytics to WordPress? There are two major approaches:

  1. Manually without plugins. Technically, you’ll need to get your Google Analytics code snippet and insert it into your WordPress website (we’re going to tell you where). Then you’ll be able to access the Google Analytics dashboard from your Google Account online in one place. The major benefit of this approach is that it doesn’t require reliance on third-party dependencies. As for the cons, for complete newbies, it might be a bit intimidating to work with code and the entire procedure might require additional time and effort.
  2. Integrate Google Analytics by connecting WordPress Google Analytics plugins. You might want to opt for this method if you want an easier way to connect Google Analytics to WordPress, need more tools, or (thanks to some plugins) access your Analytics dashboard from your WordPress website.
