Whether you’re managing a rental, service, or event listing, promotions tailored to your audience’s needs will make your listing more appealing, increase guest engagement, and generate higher revenue. Here’s how you can use SafariPlate’s promotion tools to maximize your reach.
Types of Promotions and Discounts You Can Offer
- Early Bird Specials: Reward guests who book in advance with a discount. This helps ensure that your listings are booked well ahead of time and encourages guests to secure their spot early.
- How It Works: Set a specific time frame (e.g., two months before the event or stay) where guests receive a 10-20% discount for booking early.
- Example: If you run an event listing, offer a 15% discount for all bookings made 60 days before the event date. This creates urgency and helps guests lock in their plans early.
- Last-Minute Deals: Sometimes, you’ll have unbooked availability close to the date of your service or event. Offering last-minute deals can help fill these gaps and generate revenue that might otherwise be lost.
- How It Works: Create promotions that offer discounts (e.g., 20% off) for guests booking within a few days of the service or event.
- Example: For a rental property, offer a “flash sale” on unbooked dates within the next week, attracting guests who are making last-minute travel plans.
- Seasonal Discounts: Appeal to holiday or seasonal travelers by offering promotions during peak travel periods. Whether it’s a holiday sale or off-season discount, adjusting your pricing based on the time of year can help maintain occupancy or attendance.
- How It Works: Set up automatic discounts for specific dates (e.g., Christmas, summer vacations) or seasons when demand is expected to be higher or lower.
- Example: Offer a 10% discount for stays booked during the low season, or for events held during midweek dates when attendance might be lower.
- Coupon Codes for Repeat Guests: Build loyalty by rewarding guests who return to your listing with personalized discount codes. This not only incentivizes repeat bookings but also helps build a strong relationship with your guest base.
- How It Works: Provide a special promo code to previous guests, offering them 10% off their next booking.
- Example: After a successful stay, send a thank-you message with a unique promo code for 15% off their next visit.
- Group Discounts: Attract larger bookings by offering discounts to groups. Whether for events or accommodations, promoting group deals can increase the number of attendees and boost overall revenue.
- How It Works: Set up discounts for bookings with multiple participants (e.g., 10% off for groups of 4 or more).
- Example: If you manage an event space, offer a 10% discount on ticket purchases for groups of 5 or more.

Maximizing the Impact of Your Promotions
