Learn how to create corporate discount codes and add them to specific customers
You can create corporate codes for your frequent corporate clients or promotional codes that you can use to eg. create more traffic to your booking engine. When you give this code to the client and they insert it at the time of booking, they will automatically get the special rate that you have determined for the code.
To start creating corporate/promotional codes, go to Customers on the left side menu and select the tab for Corporate.
You can either create the same codes for all the venues you manage or you can create different codes for individual venues. To create the same codes for all venues:
- Choose All Venues from the drop down
- Click Add Code
- Insert the code you want and determine the discount % the client will get with this code for meeting room hire and/or packages
- Save the code from the floppy disc icon
To create a code that is valid only in an individual venue:
Select the venue from the dropdown list
Click add code
Insert the code you want
Save the code from the floppy disc icon first before you can determine the prices.
After saving the code you can determine the prices for this code separately for all rooms and packages by clicking Edit for rooms and packages.
When you want to remove an existing code, e.g. after your campaign ends, find the code by choosing all venues / individual venue name and click the icon of a trash can at the end of the row.
To create a promotional URL with embedded discount code: (only applicable to Booking Engine customers)
If you are a booking engine customer, you are in for a treat!
You have a great way to highlight your corporate rates through your marketing campaigns by using a discount code embedded within a unique URL. The unique URL can be used in newsletters, marketing emails, social media posts etc.
The link consists of 2 sections, the 1st section is your booking engine link. You can see your booking engine link (highlighted in blue) under the Booking Engine settings on the side menu. Click the link and it will open up your booking engine profile in the browser. copy the link from the browser.
e.g. https://beautifulvalleytestresort.meetingpackage.com/venue/beautiful-valley-resort-test
The 2nd section is the discount code you created using the tutorial above. Since we have created a discount code 1234 with 15% discount on both meeting rooms and packages, let's use that to create a URL embedded with a discount code. e.g.
https://beautifulvalleytestresort.meetingpackage.com/venue/beautiful-valley-resort-test?discount_code=1234
Here we added the text ?discount_code= between the 1st and the 2nd section.
You can create as many discount codes as possible and use it with your Booking Engine profile link. You can also embed these unique links in any social media post or marketing campaign. People clicking on these links will automatically see the discounted rates and can book with those rates.
