26 reasons to choose us as your outsourced hotel sales & marketing service provider in Thailand
The competition for online visibility and direct bookings for hotels in Thailand is extremely fierce and in order to overcome these obstacles, your hotel needs to be better than the competition in the online travel agent (OTA) and direct website sales space.
In a nutshell, that’s what we do. If your hotel is not quite reaching its full potential, perhaps we can help! Here are just a few of the reasons why working with The Percentage Company for your hotel or accommodation business in Thailand may be the right solution for you:

We offer a range of fee and pricing structures to suit your needs.

Thailand is one of the world’s top tourist destinations, attracting travelers from across the globe.

This not only directs traffic to your site but also encourages direct bookings when combined with our powerful booking engine solution.

Generic marketing strategies seldom yield optimal results. At The Percentage Company we understand the power of personalization.

Personalized campaigns, including targeted advertisements and email marketing, enhance engagement and drive conversions, maximizing both OTA and direct bookings.

A robust online presence is important for a hotel, in an era where potential guests often seek out social proof before booking.

This transparency ensures that you have a clear understanding of the value we bring to your hotel’s digital presence.

Positive online reviews not only enhance your hotel’s credibility on OTAs but also encourage potential guests to book directly through your website.
22. We do conversion rate optimization (CRO)
Increasing traffic to your hotel’s website is just one part of the equation; converting that traffic into bookings is where CRO or Conversion Rate Optimisation comes into play. The Percentage Company specializes in CRO, optimizing the user experience on your website to maximize the chances of conversion from user to guest. From intuitive website design to highly streamlined booking processes with The Percentage App, we ensure that every click on your website has the potential to translate into a confirmed booking.
