CaterBook now has a facebook page
Frankly we don`t have much time for this kind of nonsense but we did what our marketing advisers told us and gotten ourselves embroiled in social networking.
So if you have a facebook account, you can be our friend and hear from us everytime we feel like making inane comments...
Promote your Page too
We have two winners!
We would like to congratulate all the winners of the UK Top 25 TripAdviser hotels who have worked so hard to generate great reviews from their guests.
Special congratulations to both the Tremarne Hotel who are rated number @ 15 and CharterHouse who have been rated 5th in the UK!
Both hotels are valued CaterBook clients and we trust that having CaterBook enabled both hotels to concentrate on giving their guests the attention that won them these well earned awards.
Booking.com connection
We have now completed the next stage of our connection with Booking.com and this is proceeding very well. We will make a full announcement soon, however as a preliminary, CaterBook will be enabled to update Booking.com, the largest and in our experience most respected agency in the UK.
Here`s the BIG plus, there will be a set up cost, but after that, no extra commission charges. Any existing relationship you have with Booking.com will remain the same.
You just wont need to enter all your availability and prices anymore- CaterBook will do it for you!
CaterBook the movie!
We thought our site was a little dry and lacking in humanity so we went out with a camera crew and asked some clients to talk about CaterBook as part of our marketing. Richard Beaman and Gary Waters agreed to chat with us and you can see the results here:
Very boring but important.
PCI requirements are becoming more stringent all the time and any business that handles credit card information are required to be compliant. CaterBook handles this information very carefully and securely with automatic deletion and very strong encyption routines. However all the details are here is you need them.
New program functionality
A new alphabetical ordering routine has been added to CaterBook enabling a new viewing method for clients.
Booking note diplays have been added to the shuffle chart.
Hidden agency payments functionality added.
Visit Scotland Going into public ownership
The controversial VisitScotland.com website is being taken into public ownership after several years of losses amounting to more than 12 million pounds of public money.
The long term effects of this are unquantifiable, however the ReclaimVS campaign is hailing this as a victory for common sense.
Our view at CaterActive is the hope that the publicly financed tourism agencies in the UK will recognise the need for inclusive strategies as opposed to monopolistic & exclusive partnerships.
