RDP Data Server |
All Reservations end up in the RDP Data Server at your property without re-entry of data. Ø GDS reservations are automatically loaded with RDP’s GDS interface. Ø Owners can reserve their property for themselves or their guests using the IRM Ø Travel agents and guests can use either the commission free IRM <or> any of thousands of GDS powered Websites. |
|
IRM Lowest Cost Channel |
All reservations via the IRM are by far the lowest cost channel, since there are no commissions or fees paid to RDP, the GDS provider, or a third party internet Website |
|
Owners |
Owners use the RDP IRM for all Internet Access, including owner and guest of owner reservations, entering and reviewing work orders and statements, etc. |

Over 50% of RDP customers do not use the GDS. We suggest all customers try the GDS for a year and measure the results. The costs of signing up with RDP/GDS for a year are about $2500. Think of this as an advertisement in a magazine that runs every day for a year. The RDP system will track all revenue received from the GDS for that year on our "Source of Business" report. If you have generated more than $2500, renew the GDS for another year.
RDP's Internet Reservation Module (IRM) is an important element of the RDPConnect strategy as it allows millions of potential guests, groups and travel agents to check availability and make reservations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without any commissions. The IRM compliments the GDS and RDPConnect as follows:
Many first time visitors to your property will find the property via a travel agent or GDS powered website. If you are not on the GDS, there is no chance these potential guests will find your property. A fee will be paid to InnLink and the travel agent to obtain this first time guest, but the fee is better than not having the guest at all!
Once the guest visits the property, you should encourage the guest to book the next time using our website. This next booking, using the Internet Reservation Module, has ZERO commissions.
RDP's Frequent Guest module can help motivate guests to book direct next time.
You can improve the Visibility of your marketing website and drive more first time guests directly to your website, and the IRM, for commission free reservations. See website visibilty below.
You can use RDP's free direct e-mail marketing features to encourage guests to book direct.
Since the IRM that is integrated into your marketing website does not have any associated booking fees, it makes sense to drive as many potential guests as possible to your marketing website to make reservations. A few possible ways to increase website traffic are presented below:
