GuestCentric continues to expand your market reach by adding translations to the platform. With this update we added support for Polish and made it the 10th language on the GuestCentric hotel digital marketing solution.
Witamy w naszych polskich przyjaciół!
(Welcome to our Polish friends!)
As part of our continued effort for improved usability and faster performance of our hotel digital marketing solution, we have updated the tools in the revenue are to be easier, more readable and faster to load and execute. Tools like range update, and mass open/stop sales now display a more modern look and should provide increased productivity.
With the adoption by small brands and hotel groups of the GuestCentric solution, the needs for customization of the booking engine have increased.
Therefore, we introduced a new feature that allows hotel managers to customize the message that is displayed to users when there is no availability in the hotel, and to refer/link to sister or partner properties in the case when the selected hotel is full.
The new menu is under Setup->Payments->Unavailability Message
Google announced that Buzz is being shutdown and focusing on Google Plus. Hence, we migrated our Google Buzz share button to Google Plus and continue to lead in integrating consumer’s social graph into the booking process.
As you know, we regularly run usability tests to ensure that you have quick and easy access to the most powerful digital marketing features in the industry. This latest update to the promotions area has made it significantly faster and easier to create promotions, especially promotions that represent a percentage discount over the Best Available Rate for the day.
When we first introduced mobile and Facebook optimization we used the QuickLinks menu for expediency purposes. Early feedback showed us that customers want to control what to show on each channel, hence we are announcing today the ability to manage menu settings individually for each channel.
With the introduction of the new media manager a few months ago, demand for picture-rich content has increased dramatically. Hence, we introduced today a new clipboard to make image manipulation easier and speedier. Picture uploading and inserting is now a breeze!
We are delighted to announce that GuestCentric has joined efforts with HotelRooms.com to offer special pricing exclusively for GuestCentric clients for a six month listing on the ‘Official Hotel Search Engine’ . This is an excellent opportunity to power your online bookings through low season. Over the course of the next six months a HotelRooms.com listing is projected to generate 60-75 direct bookings.

We continue our commitment to internationalize our platform thus allowing easier interactions with all guests and expanding your market reach. In this edition we added support for Italian and Russian.
