Make your hotel more profitable with day-use rooms
Offer your hotel rooms during the day, for a few hours at a time, with Dayuse: an innovative way to improve hotel profitability.
Naturally, you would like your hotel to be more profitable. You thought you had considered every option: adding a floor, moving upmarket… But have you thought about letting your rooms for a few hours during the day? According to Dayuse, this could bring you up to 20% more customers.
Day-use rooms:a new conceptObviously, the primary function of a hotel is to offer rooms where guests can stay overnight. However, demand in this sector is not only nocturnal. But hoteliers had neither the solution nor the organisation to handle these extra bookings. During the day, the staff are very much there and so are the services. And yet 50% of hotel rooms sit empty during the day. As you will have gathered, there is real untapped potential here!
Dayuse:a ground-breaking platformDayuse is the leading platform for daytime hotel bookings.
With 4 years of experience, Dayuse has built an innovative service designed to make far better use of hotels' potential.
It allows rooms to be booked in 3 to 5 star properties at a reduced price (compared with the overnight rate), with discounts of up to 70%.
The customer is therefore happy to find a flexible solution at an attractive price, and the hotelier gains a genuine benefit by letting rooms during quiet trading periods.
Who is it for?By signing up to this concept, you can now target a whole new clientele:
- Coupleslooking for freedom andprivacyfor a short while.
- Senior executiveswith time to spare between two business meetings.
- Guests on the movewanting torestbetween two flights.
- Fashion or production companieswanting to runphoto shootsorinterviews.
How does it work?If you are a hotelier, you can contact Dayuse directly to create a tailor-made offer for your hotel. That way, you choose the number and type of rooms available as well as the time slots that suit your housekeeping teams. Dayuse then markets your rooms immediately to an international clientele.
The customer pays for the room directly at your hotel. You therefore collect the full amount and receive a monthly Dayuse invoice, on which a commission is charged.
Additionalrevenue to be wonDaytime booking rates are up to 70% lower than overnight rates, but your hotel will benefit from the visibility offered on the site and from a much higher occupancy rate than before. Users of the platform earn up to 10 to 15% additional revenue. You will also benefit from 360° communications from Dayuse: adverts, digital campaigns and extensive media coverage. Not forgetting that setting up Dayuse is free.
Frequently asked questions
