Boca Raton, FL
- Lodging.com today announced that more than one hundred e-commerce companies
have joined its hotel reservation affiliate program since Labor Day. The new
signups make Lodging.com the fastest growing hotel affiliate program online
today. New members include: Southbeach.com, Arizona.com, Virginia.com and
Florida.com.
“This is the most aggressive,
flexible affiliate program in the hotel reservation market, “ said Edward
Silver, Lodging.com’s Vice President of Technology. “We offer higher
commissions, destination content and revenue tracking systems that make it easy
for any size business to successfully offer hotel reservations to their
customers.”
Lodging.com’s aggressive new
program is luring many travel Web sites away from traditional hotel suppliers
who don’t offer content and have strict and inflexible commission payment
plans. By using Lodging.com, a travel website has a turnkey resource for
building out a consumer friendly website filled with booking capabilities.
“We spent
a lot of time speaking with companies that offer hotel reservations and most of
them are frustrated with their current set of options,” said Mike Nadboy,
Lodging.com’s Director of Business Development. “This program is a
combination of everything people told us they wanted in an affiliate program.”
In addition to the benefits
listed above, Lodging.com offers the ability to select specific hotel properties
and provides a tiered system with access to more than 40,000 lodging properties.
The effort is already beginning
to show results.
“Based upon early reports, we
estimate that the program will continue this same rate of growth through the end
of 2000, “ said Silver. “The feedback has been overwhelmingly
positive and we are getting inquiries from e-commerce companies every day.”
