Efficient Use of Special Offers

As the marketing umbrella of different individual companies, Linssen&Linssen uses Booking Manager boat rental reservation system. All Linssen charter operators use Booking Manager as a standard to manage thier day to day fleet operations, bookings, invoincing and marketing activities. This makes online booking very fast and helps to coordinate activities. Their agency works a lot with a booking sheet in the system.

It also works in reverse, when a certain base has no availability we try to enable similar yachts and manage it from a different destination.“ Booking Manager software helps them to plan future promotional activities even more efficiently. To get a better visibility of special offers the System enables them to prioritise all available yachts with included special discounts, short term charters and one-way offers in order to present them to the clients in a relevant and efficient way.
