Follow on Google News |  The First Hotel Booking System to Enable Social BookingPioneer Pelican Solutions Hotel Booking System Takes the Initiative to Enable SeatID Social Booking for all its Hotels
By: SeatID SeatID functionality is added to a hotel’s website and to the booking pages, as a widget. Visitors are presented with the option to log into a preferred social network (Facebook or LinkedIn), and, after opting in, they are presented with a list of their friends and acquaintances who have stayed at this specific hotel in the past or have even been in the area. Social information is always visible while users are making their online booking. Visitors never lose sight of the fact that SeatID brings them immediate access to information about previous guests. “Studies have shown that people put their trust in information about socially similar customers and are definitely influenced by knowledge about who has booked at a particular hotel” says Eran Savir, CEO and Co-Founder of SeatID. “By providing consumers with “social proof” (i.e. my friends have stayed at this hotel, or they like this hotel, or they are planning to stay at this hotel) SeatID helps hoteliers drive higher conversion online” says Savir. As a non-intrusive, opt-in service, SeatID only becomes effective when users choose to use it. If they don’t activate the service, they just go though the usual booking process and they will not be visible to any of the other users. However if users do choose to use SeatID, they will have the option to define who will see them – a simple process involving a few mouse clicks. “We are excited to be the first hotel booking system in the world to offer such an innovative solution to all our hotels” says Hartono Liman, CEO of Pelican Hotel Solutions. “Social booking is one of the latest and most innovative trends in online booking and Pelican Hotel Solutions strives to be in the forefront of innovation for the benefit of our hotel partners” stated Liman.
