Promotions are great for attracting guests. In Exely extranet, there are country deals — discounts offered to users depending on their locations. Use country deals to target travelers from specific countries.

How to create a promotion

1. Go to “Room management” > “Promotions” and click the “Add promotion” button.

2. Select the “Country deal” option.

3. Write in the discount name and select the countries you target from the drop-down list. Travelers from these countries will be offered this promotion.

4. Write in the discount rate and select the rounding rule. By default, a recommended discount rate of 10% is set. You can enter another rate.

5. Specify the promotion period. You can set several ones by clicking “Add period”.

6. Specify the period when the guests will see the promotion in Exely Booking Engine.

7. Select rate plans, room types, and accommodation type that you want to apply the discount to. All the rate plans, room types and accommodation types are selected by default.

8. Click the “Save” button.

The promotion you created will be added to the table on the “Promotions” page.

Keep in mind

• The country deal is not cumulative with other offers. If several discounts at once are offered to travelers, they get the best deal out of them.

• Booking Engine identifies users’ countries by the IP addresses of the devices they used to open your hotel website.

• When users modify bookings in Booking Engine, the country deal promotion remains if one of these is altered: guest’s name, email, phone number, and comment. When travelers change dates of stay, room type, or rate plan, the amount to pay is recalculated. That is why guests get a country deal only if their IP address matches your settings.

What a country deal looks like in Booking Engine

In Booking Engine, country deals are not highlighted by purchase motivators. There is just a crossed price.
