Marketing Affiliates

Quokka Systems is pleased to announce our Marketing Affiliates program that is designed to bring more traffic to your Quokka online booking account.

Since our first days with the Quokka Online Booking System, we have been asked how are you marketing our rooms? As a technology company, naturally we were focused on the technology of online booking - databases, networks, user screens, ease-of-use, speed, etc. But we did not stop listening to you. We wanted to meet the customer request for enhanced marketing.

Instead of trying to invent a whole new marketing arm for Quokka Systems, which would take a long time to put together, we have set up relationships with a number of web travel portals. We call these sites Marketing Affiliates and they are helping to bring more qualified prospects to your online booking account. This is via listings for your property that the Affiliates offer and the presence of the Quokka Systems' Room Selector program. This function allows consumers to view properties and search them based on availability, price, location and amenities.

Best of all, it's important to realize that any changes you make to your inventory - black outs for example - take effect instantly on all these points of sale. This means that you do the same work to have your inventory book-able from all these sites. As we add affiliates, we add our customers to them so that there is no additional administration for you.

Naturally the Affiliates did not agree to do this without expectation of compensation. How it works is, if a guest of yours clicks the "book now" button from an Affiliate's site, the booking is charged at 10%. The source of the booking shows up on your monthly invoice from Quokka Systems. The good part is that if someone finds you on one of the sites, and then clicks through to your web page and clicks on your book now button, the booking charge is at your regular rate.

If you are an existing customer who is not on the program yet, please contact Hilary Lee-Amies at Hilary@quokkasystems.com or Joanna Drewry at Joanna@quokkasystems.com.
