The end of January is when visitors increasingly start looking for ideas for a Valentine's Day weekend. For accommodation owners, it is one of the most important dates outside the holiday season. Regardless of the location - in the mountains, by the sea or in the city - Valentine's Day stays have one thing in common: short bookings, high demand and the importance of the climate of the place.
To make effective use of this period, it is not enough just to raise prices for the chosen weekend. It is crucial to properly prepare the offer for Online Reservation System, Booking.com and maintaining order in the booking calendar, especially when bookings are coming in from several channels simultaneously.
It is worth remembering one very important thing - guests do not see the names of the price plans. Only the price, availability, booking conditions and the content in the description of the rooms, the description of the facility and the photos are visible. This means that if the property is preparing a Valentine's Day offer, the information about it must be right there.
A good solution is to add a short mention in the description of the room or suite. This can be a simple sentence informing that on Valentine's Day the room can be prepared in a romantic atmosphere - with decorations, candles or a small gift for couples. Such information is visible to the guest at the accommodation selection stage and does not require the creation of additional rooms or the renaming of existing units.
Photos are also important. Photographs can be added with captions, so it is worth supplementing the gallery with a photo of a Valentine's Day room arrangement or sample decoration. Even a single photo with a caption informing about the possibility of a romantic room arrangement attracts attention and is often decisive for the selection of the offer. Guests view photos much more often than detailed descriptions, so this is one of the most effective places for communication.
The Valentine's Day weekend is also a good time to adjust prices. Interest in stays for couples is noticeably higher at this time and booking decisions are made faster than at other times. Many property owners therefore decide to charge higher rates on Friday and Saturday and to introduce a minimum length of stay covering the entire weekend. Such settings are implemented in price plans, but it is worth remembering that the price plan is only responsible for the price and conditions - not the communication of the offer.
With more interest, it is very easy to mess up bookings.
- different prices in several systems,
- manual blocking of appointments,
- bookings by telephone and from portals,
- The risk of double selling a room.
It is at such times that one central place to manage the calendar becomes crucial.
The mobile-calendar allows you to control the entire Valentine's weekend from one place. In a single calendar, you can see the current availability of all rooms, prices for individual days and bookings from Booking.com and other sales channels. Changing the price for a selected weekend, quickly checking occupancy or manually adding a booking takes seconds and does not require logging into several panels at the same time.
This gives the venue owner full control over sales, even during busy periods. The mobile-calendar organises the data, eliminates the risk of errors and allows you to focus on what matters most to your guests - the quality of their stay and a positive experience.
Valentine's Day does not require complicated packages or technical workarounds.
Enough is enough:
- clear information in the room description,
- some thematic photos with caption,
- the correspondingly set price for the selected days,
For many venues, it is February that becomes the month to realistically increase revenue in the off-season - provided that bookings are organised and the offer is clear. With the help of the mobile-calendar, the whole process remains simple, transparent and fully under control.
