Make rezStream bookings easier by prefilling the promo code and arrival date

This is easy; nothing fancy! This trick will pre-fill the “Promo Code” and “Arrival Date” sections on your rezStream booking engine so people don't have to enter it themselves.

And if you don't already use this when sharing your promotions via email or social media…you should consider it.

Why is it important?

The easier it is to do something, the more likely someone is to do it. Let's be honest, we all have our lazy moments (especially consumers).

By reducing the amount of work someone has to do when making a reservation, it makes them more likely to complete the reservation (and more money for you!).

Here's how to prefill a promo code

1. Take your rezStream booking engine URL a. Example: https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge
2. Add to the end of it: ?PromoCode=YOURPROMOCODE a. Example: https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge?PromoCode=winter

Here's how to prefill a promo code AND arrival date

This is great if you have a promo code tied to a specific booking window. By prefilling the promo code and arrival date, it will reduce friction and confusion when someone goes to your booking engine to make a reservation.

1. Take your rezStream booking engine URL a. Example: https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge
2. Add to the end of it: ?PromoCode=YOURPROMOCODE a. Example: https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge?PromoCode=winter
3. Next, add this part with the arrival date you prefer: &Arrival=MM/DD/YYYY a. Example: https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge?promoCode=winter&Arrival=01/05/2024

The finished product

Booking Engine URL: https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge + Promo Code prefill: ?promoCode=winter + Arrival Date Prefill: &Arrival=01/05/2024 = https://guest.rezstream.com/search/berry-springs-lodge?promoCode=winter2&Arrival=01/05/2024

When to use it

Adding these promo code and arrival date prefills to your rezStream booking engine URL are especially important when:

• Sending email campaigns (e.g. Valentine's Day email promo with a code + booking window)
• Social media promotion
• Ads (social, search engine, and more)
• And on any other digital promotions you do

You won't want to add this to flyers or other print materials. Save this trick for digital promotions and you'll make it easier for potential guests to book a stay at your hotel.
