About 15 minutes after we launched the first customer on our system, we were asked, "How are you marketing our product?" It was an odd question for someone to ask an Information Technology company, but we realized that we were in a position to help clarify where to sell online.
Online marketing of any product is complex. Quokka Systems chose to augment its own efforts by working with leading travel web portals to provide online booking for your guests who wish to shop online.
This arrangement is win-win-win. The travel portals increase the value of their sites by offering online booking. Quokka Systems customers can sell rooms online from more sites with the same amount of inventory management work. Most importantly, the potential guest has a consistent and full service online booking experience.
