Don’t Miss Out: Smart Time-Sensitive Deals That Drive Bookings
This example from Numa shows that creating a sense of urgency is key to a successful Black Friday campaign. Leveraging limited availability and compelling offers encourages swift action. A countdown clock, for instance, can be a game-changer, showing guests exactly how much time they have to take advantage of your deals. This tactic can prompt quicker bookings by reminding guests that great deals won’t last forever.

Offer an Extra 24 Hours to Book
Sometimes, guests just need a little extra time to make a decision. Consider extending your Black Friday deals for an additional 24 hours, as Mansley Serviced Apartments did with their special offer. This extension can be a strategic way to capture those who hesitated initially, ensuring you don’t miss out on last-minute bookings. Promoting this extension prominently can help catch the attention of guests who may have missed the first round.
