Promotion Packages and Partnerships for Direct

Problem:

Current promo code system doesn't support collaborative marketing partnerships with local businesses. Hosts want to create promotional packages that include third-party services (like Hamilton Gardens tickets or Float Clinic vouchers) while enabling cross-promotion between the host and partner businesses.

Example Direct Booking Offers

1. Experience More – Hamilton Gardens

• Stay 3–4 nights direct with us.

• Includes late checkout (2pm) and a local welcome amenity.

2. Luxury Breaks – Float Clinic

Proposed Solution:

Develop a partnership module that allows:

• Creation of promotional packages combining accommodation discounts with partner business offerings

• Cross-promotional capabilities where partner businesses can promote host properties

• Manual review and approval process for partnership collaborations

• Integration with existing promo code system but with enhanced partnership features

Business Value:

• Encourages direct bookings through unique value propositions

• Creates local business networks that benefit all parties

• Provides hosts with differentiated marketing opportunities beyond standard discounts

• Generates advance bookings and improved cash flow

Use Case:

Host creates "Hamilton Gardens Experience" package offering 3-night stay + 4 complimentary garden tickets. Hamilton Gardens promotes this package to their visitors, driving direct bookings to the host while increasing garden attendance.
