ANTI-BOOK® is The Antifragile Booking Button | Autonomous Negotiations for Hoteliers with Skin in the Game.

HOTEL PAIN POINTS

70-90% of your hotel/property website visitors who check the rates page (thereby signaling that your hotel/property is a viable option), simply vanish. But these are sale options that your fragile BOOK button simply cannot unlock and optimize, resulting in daily revenue loss in favor of your competitors and OTAs.
Imagine if only 10% are recovered!

Even worse, your fragile BOOK button learns nothing from failures (Why? When? Who's lost? How much has been lost?). So, no improvements over time.

A boring and depersonalized buying experience is offered to both new and old clients, and
a dull unengaging selling experience is provided to your hotel sales employees as well. This completes the picture of the BOOK button's anachronism in the post-2020 world, a world full of uncertainty, volatility, stressors, noise etc.

Incapable of protecting your pricing strategy, your fragile BOOK button
exposes you to the big OTA's Parity Rate and other harmful policies/boosters, as well as to competitors. Loses again. Dare OTA even compete against you, by spying your rates? Learn yourself here.

In post-2020 world, your traditional BOOK button acts more as a break on your hotel direct sales, by trying to sell fragile bookings - transactions that embed mandatory losses, revealed when unexpected events strike. On the other side, ANTI-BOOK sell antifragile-bookings - transactions that embed possible gains (through resell, exchange, donation) - being a relief for both sides, hotels and travelers (more details, soon).

The traditional BOOK button is nothing more than a secretary or a cashier on your hotel website. A blank stare is all it can offer. It may still work well with 10-30% of clients who have already made up their minds about your hotel, but it loses the increasing number of travelers facing uncertainty in the post-2020 world (70-90%).

Features

First of all, negotiation is not equal to bid - which is almost an insult for an hard working hotelier, in our vision.

Secondly, negotiation doesn't mean that you are obligated to sell - you may use it only to scan the demand; or to check how much money pass through in front of your BOOK button eyes, money that is eventually simply lost in favour of others; or to understand trends on your hotel website, or to aquire clients data etc. Let's note that if you're choosing the Antifragile Account [Pricing], you may benefits from all of these features completely free, even if you do not commit to any sale.

Thirdly, negotiation is not a process where your primary action is to lower your rates. For example, you may negotiate:

to get more money in advance,
to lower/eliminate Free-Cancellation policy taking at least some payment in advance if the obtained pre-sale insights told that you can get,
to ensure that you're not loosing an old customer,
to optimize Occupancy Rate,
to sell off peaks to low budget travelers,
to pamper your new / old client with some attention / free extras,
to persuade buyer for cross sale / up-sale,
to ensure that your marketing spend is not wasted attracting wrong profiles,
or to backup the hotel direct sales when you have not enough sales employees or not the right ones.

On the other hand, negotiation is a process of discovery of each other, in many parts of the world being a complex cultural ritual where each side faces the other side's uncertainties, volatilities, stressors... both sides working out to align their needs.

That's why, our negotiation framework includes multiple parameters to help you / your robot to prepare before start to negotiate:

Scan the demand 24/7
See clients your BOOK button can't
Extract pre-sale insights your BOOK button can't
Process client historical data

BOOK vs ANTI-BOOK

While the traditional BOOK button ensures a seamless experience for visitors of your website who have already made up their minds (10-30%), ANTI-BOOK caters to the increasing number of post-2020 travelers that face uncertainty, volatility, and stressors (70-90%).

Fragile

The traditional BOOK button is fragile, doesn't like variability. When visitors of your hotel website face uncertainty, volatility, stressors, and noise, among other factors, the traditional booking button is incapable of capitalizing on them. A dull look is all it can offer them. Moreover, it provides no information about how much, when, or why sales are lost. Being incapable to learn from fails, no improvements to expect over time.

Resilient

The traditional booking button gains from website visitors who are 100% sure they want to stay at your hotel and are willing to pay any rate for it. It functions well in securing bookings from customers who have already made up their minds.

Antifragile

The antifragile booking button thrives from website visitors who are in a searching mood, facing uncertainty, volatility, stressors, and other factors. It takes advantage of these situations to conduct pleasant and unlimited parallel negotiations, unlocking sale options. And, it learns from fails. Additionally, it caters to old clients and new clients alike, treating them with personalized care as if they were acquaintances.
