This new feature enhances the way you develop your Day Delegate Packages. There are multiple factors to consider when creating a Package using the new feature.
1: Have you already created Packages in your profile.
Important thing to note here is that if you already have created Packages in your profile using the standard Venue edit feature, those Packages will be visible to the customers, however, you are not able to edit those packages.
In order to update your existing Packages, you will need to re-create them again using the new Package option under Product.
Please note that any new Packages created by using the new method will automatically hide and invalidate all the old existing Packages created with the old method before the launch of this new package feature.
2: Ability to incorporate different Catalog Items.
In order to create a Package, you first need to create your Catalog under the Product option.
Once you have created your Catalog, go to Package option and start creating Packages based on your choice of options. Incorporate each Catalog item within a package and you can add multiple Catalog items at the same time e.g. Meeting rooms, F&B items, equipments, stationary and other miscellaneous services.
3: Ability to handle multiple VAT% for each Package component.
Since each Package component is individually added, you can assign different VAT values to each of them depending on the item itself. The Meeting Room VAT% will come from the value you defined in the Venue edit initially.
4: Ability to calculate the Package price per person or per unit.
You have the flexibility to individually price the components of your Package per person or per unit. e.g. you can price your Meeting Room hire per unit and price all your other Package components per person.
5: Ability to hide Packages and even individual Package components and prices.
You are able to hide Packages by unchecking the Web Bookable box in the Package creation page. Similarly, you are also able to hide individual Package component from being visible to the customer by unchecking the visibility box next to it.
Additionally, your Package will only show your customers the total Package price instead of a breakdown price for all individual Package components. This is a vital feature which adds more flexibility for the Venues when selling Packages.
6: Ability to create Packages based on Start and End time.
With the new Package creation option, you have the option to create Packages based on the start and end times instead of just Full Day and Half Day like in the previous Package setup. This means that you can sell multiple packages during the same day associated to the same meeting room provided that they are configured accordingly with different start and end times.
7: Ability to create Packages in different Languages.
You can also create your Packages in different languages supported by MeetingPackage solution.
8: Ability to offer seasonal pricing and discount rates.
With the new Package creation feature, you can not only offer seasonal pricing but also offer corporate discount rates on individual Package components. e.g. 20% discount on meeting room hire, 25% discount on F&B etc.
Additionally, you can create corporate discount codes under the Customers option for individual packages.
With the corporate discount codes, you get the flexibility to add corporate discounts either on the entire packages or on the individual package contents.
