“Tired of Getting Squeezed Out of the Online Accommodation Market by the ‘Big Boys’
… But You Can’t Afford to Compete?”

Now You Can Finally Level the Playing Field With Your Own High-Powered Online Booking Software – And It’s FREE!"

Explode your profits with an online hotel web reservation program– and keep every last cent of the commission you earn!

August 8, 2008
From the desk of Dave Upton

Dear Travel Website Owner,

It’s a simple truth. These days, if you don’t have an online hotel reservation program that allows your customers to book travel accommodations over the web, you’re at an enormous disadvantage.

Maybe your website ranks highly in the search engines and gets a respectable amount of visitors. Sure, that’s great, but what’s the point of traffic if you can’t put it to good use?

To put it bluntly, if you have a
well-trafficked tourism website without
online booking software, you are literally
throwing money away
, day after day.

“No kidding,” you’re probably thinking. “But implementing an online hotel reservation program is much easier said than done.”

I agree. Until now, this has been entirely true. With their high price tags and complex administration, most online booking software programs seem to cater ONLY to accommodation giants (I won’t name names, but you know who I’m talking about). Which means that smaller Reservation Centres and Tourist Offices like yours are virtually edged out of the competition, faced with such daunting problems as:

  • The huge cost outlay required to install a hotel web reservation system

  • Labor-intensive, technically complex systems that just aren’t practical

  • The expense of hardware purchase and maintenance

  • Dilution of your well-earned commission due to having to split it with the online hotel reservation program provider

Maybe you’ve thought about expanding your services or extending your reach internationally – yet these annoying obstacles above have been preventing you from achieving your business goals.

It’s discouraging, yes. But hang on a moment.

What if there was an affordable, easy-to-use online hotel reservation program designed just for your type of organization? What if you could implement online booking software that could help you expand your reach - and recognize unlimited profit potential?

Just think of the extra revenue your company
could generate with a hotel web reservation
system like this – 24 hours a day!

(Not to mention how quickly you could grow your business by becoming a sought-after hub for tourists
… locally and around the world)


It’s easy to see how an online hotel reservation program could be extremely lucrative for your business. By offering the information your visitors are looking for in a quick, concise way, such a system can help close accommodation deals quickly, earning you money on every sale.

What’s more, being able to furnish online bookings would give you instant credibility in the eyes of property owners and potential customers. For site visitors, an online hotel reservation program offers faster, easier access to accommodations night and day. And by providing an inexpensive channel for brand promotion and sales, you’ll be able to offer tremendous value to your suppliers’ bottom line.

Imagine if you could implement a powerful hotel web reservation system that:

  • Earns you FULL commission 24/7, 365 days a year

  • Requires no expensive set-up or maintenance

  • Allows instant confirmations and 24-hour requests

  • Is simple enough for anyone to use – you, your suppliers and site visitors!

  • Shows first-screen availability and price comparison

  • Gives you equal footing to compete with big-time, multi-national accommodation websites

Sounds pretty good doesn’t it? Now what if I told you that there is an online hotel reservation program that offers all of the above mentioned benefits and more? Better yet, what if I told you that this “industrial strength” online booking software is available to you at no cost whatsoever – that it’s absolutely free? If profiting hugely from a free online booking system is of interest to you, I invite you to keep reading!

They Say Necessity is
the Mother of Invention …

My name is Dave Upton, and I’m the co-founder and President of a successful technology company called ITbyus. My firm has developed a number of groundbreaking software programs for small to mid-sized travel organizations around the world, including accommodation tools and robust content management systems.

I’m not new to the travel business; in fact, I have years of experience in this exciting industry under my belt. It all began in London at Trailfinders, “the travel experts”. I helped develop this company - Britain’s largest independent travel agent - and was subsequently elected to its Board of Directors.

My adventures in travel didn’t stop there! In 1983, I founded The Travel Specialists in Sydney - one of the original airfare discounters. Subsequently, I co-founded travel.com.au, which went on to float on the Australian Stock Exchange, raising $23 million. As the Executive Director at travel.com.au, I was responsible for the development of its website, booking engines, fare search engines, Everest/Tramada retail office systems, corporate sites, conference sites, dynamic travel package builder and a wholesale booking engine.

Although I eventually left the travel business,
I never quite left my passion for the industry behind.

Over the years, I have worked diligently to discover innovative new ways for travel companies to use technology to their advantage. In my daily dealings with Booking Centre and Tourist Office clients, I realized that many of these small companies were experiencing the same problem – a lack of affordable IT solutions to help their business thrive in a competitive marketplace.

To say that my travel clients were frustrated is an understatement. They felt that they were at an unfair disadvantage because they couldn’t afford fancy online reservations systems like the ones that power the larger, popular sites. And is it any wonder? The complex software, ongoing maintenance, and costly hardware needed to run some of these online hotel reservation programs is enough to run most companies out of business!

So instead, these exceptional yet small travel organizations were forced to stand idly by and watch helplessly as the “Big Boys” honed in on their turf and monopolized the marketplace.

I “Heard the Call” for a Robust,
Cost-Effective Hotel Web Reservation
System – and I Answered!

When I “heard the call” for a practical, budget-friendly hotel web reservation system, I set out to find a solution. Along with several other IT “gurus”, I decided to form a new venture called Accommodation Software. Based on years of experience in providing ‘turnkey software solutions’, we researched and developed like crazy for 24 long months. The result is a powerful online hotel reservation program that gives smaller tourism businesses a competitive edge in the Internet marketplace.

Now, by popular demand, the team at Accommodation Software has decided to share this premium hotel web reservation system with you, starting right now. It’s called Accommodation Guru..

Finally, “Industrial Strength” Online
Booking Software for the Small Business
– and it Costs You Nothing!

Accommodation Guru is a revolutionary new online hotel reservation program that will add a new dimension of profitability and growth to your travel business. This online booking system allows your customers to conveniently make accommodations directly through your website. Best of all, we’re offering it free for you to use on your website.

Here’s how it works: Owners of hotels, B&Bs and even campgrounds supply properties for you to offer on your site. In exchange, you receive a commission (an amount agreed upon between you and your suppliers) for each reservation that is made. In addition to providing a significant source of income, Accommodation Guru online booking software helps you save time and money by fully automating the reservations process.

Our one-of-a-kind hotel web reservation system offers:

  • Fully-automated bookings: From start to finish, your customers can book their accommodations safely and securely right on your website. It simply doesn’t get more convenient than this!

  • First-screen availability display: Save your site visitors hours of research and tedious “clicking around” for answers to their accommodation requests. All booking options are listed on the very first screen!

  • 100% FULL commission retention: No “sharing of commission” required! Unlike many other hotel web reservation programs, you keep all of the well-deserved commission that you have already negotiated with your suppliers.

  • Simple, hassle-free set-up: Forget about forking over a huge amount of capital to get up and running. The Accommodation Guru free online booking system requires no costly software or hardware – a browser is all you need to launch and start raking in the profits.

  • Ease of use: Since the Accommodation Guru free online booking system is largely self-administrating, the staffing requirement is absolutely minimal. Everything is done via an Internet browser, which means you can operate the system from anywhere - including the beach!

  • Complete Security: ITbyus takes care of any security issues and patches so you can run your system without worry.

Since the Accommodation Guru free online booking system requires no significant outlay of capital to install, there’s no need for you to spend months getting a financial “sign-off”. In fact, you can virtually have a beta test program up and running even before you have time to request approval. Makes a pretty convincing argument for the powers-that-be, doesn’t it?

Thinking of Going Global? Expand
Your Business Internationally
With Accommodation Guru!

Give your business global reach and watch your profits take off! With the Accommodation Guru hotel web reservation system, it’s easy to offer accommodations in multiple regions or countries. Our free online booking system conveniently allows you to accept many different currencies from your customers, including US Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen, New Zealand Dollars, Singapore Dollars, and Hong Kong Dollars.

Go Beyond Hotel Rooms …

Other online hotel reservation programs restrict you to offering inventory only from large-scale hotels. Not the case with Accommodation Guru! When you use our free online booking system, you can offer a variety of inventory, from grand resorts … to chain hotels … to small, cozy bed & breakfasts … to camping! And it doesn’t stop there. Our online hotel reservation program even enables you to list day tours and tour packages. This is a great way to cater to a broader range of suppliers and provide even more exciting options for your customers.

So How Does This Online Booking Software Work?

Part of the beauty of the Accommodation Guru hotel web reservation system is that it’s so incredibly simple to use. Website visitors simply plug in their criteria to a simple search panel within your website, and voila! – up pops up a pricing and availability display on the very first screen. This lets your customers see instantly which rooms are available on what dates. They can also compare prices among the various properties to make sure they’re getting the very best deal possible.

Just to illustrate my point, here’s an actual screenshot of the pricing and availability screen that users will see after they do a search: 
 


 


 


 


 

Through the Accommodation Guru free online booking system, you can offer your customers the ultimate in booking flexibility, including last minute and 365 days a year, 24/7 reservation capabilities. Payments can be made easily online using a merchant credit card payment system.

Will My Customers’ Details Be Secure?

Absolutely! Your customers' credit card details and personal information are handled very securely and affordably through our merchant server partners NetRegistry & eWay leading providers of online merchant accounts and gateways. After payment is made, customers are given instant online confirmations of their booking. It’s that easy!

Impress Your Suppliers With a Host of
Flexible, Valuable Features!

Partnering with your organization will be a no-brainer when potential suppliers see all the perks your new hotel web reservation system has to offer …

Accommodation Guru online booking software lets your suppliers:

  • Offer special reservation incentives such as “breakfast included” or “champagne on-arrival”.

  • Feature their best deals in a highly-visible “Hot Specials” display screen.

  • Offer exclusive accommodation packages and minimum-stay requirements – no ‘one night only’ rate restrictions!

  • Edit their properties using a password-protected extranet interface, where they can easily upload/edit photos, update inventory and modify rates. No need for you to spend hours instructing them … we offer an online tutorial and demo to help them learn.

  • Map their properties on a geo-coded map, to spare their customers from having to spend hours trying to find their property. Customers can print the map and arrive at their hotel without any trouble.

With This Free Online Booking System,
You Can Also Represent the “Little
Guys” of the Travel Industry –
An Untapped Source of Profit!

We understand that most smaller-sized properties (like B&Bs) are reluctant to make their limited number of rooms available for online booking. In the past, this has made online hotel reservation programs inaccessible to these types of properties. The Accommodation Guru hotel web reservation system solves this problem by offering a 24-hour automatic ‘Accept or Reject’ response option for those suppliers who are unable to provide inventory. 

Then, an e-mail/SMS/Text is sent to the supplier notifying them of the booking request. Once the supplier accepts booking, the full amount is automatically debited from the card, and confirmations are sent back to you, the supplier and the customer. Rejected transactions are voided with the client being offered an alternative.

The Accommodation Guru hotel web reservation system will allow you to offer representation to a whole new niche of smaller properties … ones that have fallen by the wayside in the current online accommodation market. How’s that for a business-building opportunity?

This All Sounds Great – But Come
On, What’s the “Catch”?

With everything this fantastic, free online booking system has to offer, you’re probably wondering just how we can afford to offer it at no cost to you. After all, we have to eat and pay our bills just like everybody else, right?

Here’s how we can offer this must-have hotel web reservation system for free - and still make money:

Like many other successful online hotel reservation programs, Accommodation Guru will charge a nominal $3.85 booking fee (or US$/Euro equivalent) on top every reservation made by your customers. This fee is accepted by your site visitors when they book their accommodations - we don’t lay a hand on your commissions!

The more “full commission” bookings made and retained through your Accommodation Guru free online booking system, the more our mutual success will be guaranteed. I am sure you will agree: it’s a win/win/win situation no matter how you slice it!

Increase Your Market Share
and Take Your Business to a Whole
New Level of Profitability!

The Accommodation Guru free online booking system is a remarkable opportunity to stake your claim in the online accommodations market. There has never been an online booking solution that’s more affordable or more powerful. Finally, you can compete with the “Big Boys” and other multi-national hotel web reservation systems – and win!
