Types of specials/promotions that can be sent from ResOnline to Booking.com :

• Basic Percentage Discount Specials  - This is an easy and fully customisable promotion, which will give the guest a discount on selected rooms and rates. The general purpose of the basic deal is a simple way to quickly lower the price. Basic deal is not tagged for guests on Booking.com front-end (website and app). To activate the Basic Deal Special, Last minute/advanced purchase restrictions should be set to "No"

• Last minute Deals - For a Last minute promotion that gives guests a discount if they book 7 days or less before their intended check-in date. Sell leftover rooms, max out your occupancy, increase your visibility on mobile devices, and attract last-minute bookers. Last minute deals are tagged for guests on the Booking.com front-end. To create this, search for the "Must be booked" line on the ResOnline Specials setting and set the drop down to "within" and input X days before arrival. It is recommended to keep the maximum booking window for Last Minute deals less than 7 days.

• Early Booker Specials - Target customers who are looking to book in advance and secure your occupancy. Early booker deals are not tagged for guests on the Booking.com front-end. To create this, search for the "Must be booked" line on the ResOnline Specials setting and set the drop down to "at least" and input X days before arrival. Recommended to keep the minimum booking window greater than 30 days.

• Business Booker Deals (beta)  - 1 in 5 bookings are business related. The discount will only be displayed to verified, logged-in business travelers, and will apply to all your room types, rates and dates except excluded.
