How discount codes can boost your bookings

At Let's Book, we understand the power of discount codes in driving sales and attracting customers. That's why we offer a wide range of options when it comes to creating and using discount codes, allowing you to tailor promotions to suit your unique business needs. Whether it's percentage-based discounts, limited-time offers, or targeted promotions, with our platform you can create tempting deals that boost bookings. The benefits of discount codes include:

Attracting new customers

Discount codes act as attractive incentives for potential customers. By offering a discounted rate, a company can entice individuals who have never considered boating before, or those who have previously been put off by the price. Discount codes are an effective way of creating a sense of urgency, motivating potential customers to embark on the exciting experience of renting a boat. Popular social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook are ideal channels for promoting and sharing discount codes.

Increasing bookings during off-peak seasons 

Demand can fluctuate, with periods of lower demand typically during off-peak seasons or weekdays. Discount codes can drive bookings during slower periods. By offering discounts specifically targeting off-peak times, you can fill gaps in rental schedules and maximize your revenue. Customers are motivated to grab a great deal, and you optimize your boat usage.

Encouraging repeat business

Discount codes can be applied as part of a rewards system, helping retain loyal customers. By offering exclusive discount codes to repeat customers, you thank them for their continued support. This gesture is an effective but simple way to create a long-term two-way relationship. Simply include a discount code in your after-sales email – which Let’s Book sends for you! – and customers can start enjoying reduced fees on their next boat ride.

Promoting special events and seasonal offers

By creating event-specific or seasonal discount codes, you can generate excitement and drive bookings for special occasions. Whether it's a Christmas boat trip or a sunset cruise, discount codes can target specific audiences and create a sense of exclusivity.

Tracking marketing effectiveness

Discount codes provide invaluable data for measuring the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns. By assigning unique codes to different marketing channels, such as social media, email campaigns, or print advertisements, you can track which channels generate most bookings over a period of time. This data allows you to refine your marketing strategies and allocate resources more effectively, maximizing your return on investment.

Conclusion

Discount codes have multiple functions, but the main two are maximizing profits and maintaining positive customer relations. Let’s Book takes discount codes to the next level, so you can collect data and find out what types of discount – and how they are promoted – work for you. It’s all part of our forward-thinking approach, helping you drive your business onwards.
