* Fill between Christmas and New Year.
* Time to attract more than one night stays.
* Holiday perks to attract bookings.
The mad rush of Christmas is over, people are still recovering from family drama. With the right strategies, you can make this so-called "lull" your time to shine.
So why not offer them a chance to sneak away from the post-holiday chaos with a relaxing stay at your hotel? Think of it as the "holiday hangover cure" for travelers.
People love a good deal—especially after they've spent their last pennies on wrapping paper and wine. A limited-time discount for stays between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve can get them to pull out their credit cards. First night at full rate, second at a discount.
This is the perfect opportunity to offer a “stay three nights, get one free” deal. Why not convince your guests to settle in for a little longer? After all, New Year's Eve is all about being with the ones you love (or the ones who haven't yet reached their “expiration date” after Christmas). Giving them an incentive to stick around for a few extra nights might be the push they need to make it official.
Who doesn’t love a little holiday cheer? Add some fun perks like free breakfast, a bottle of wine (or hot cocoa for families), or a special New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s the season of giving—no, you don’t have to give socks as a gift. These extras don’t need to be extravagant, just exclusive. After all, everyone loves feeling like they’re getting the VIP treatment—even if they’re just escaping the in-laws for a night. With a bit of clever thinking and some festive flair, that post-Christmas period doesn’t have to be the ghost town of your booking calendar.
