OTA Commissions Cost You 15–25% Per Booking
Every direct booking is high-margin revenue recaptured. The guest who messages you on WhatsApp or Instagram is already interested in your property — losing that booking to an OTA because you didn't respond fast enough is avoidable revenue loss.
Booking engines handle website visitors, not direct inquiries. Booking engines work when a guest has already decided to visit your website. They don't capture the inquiry arriving via WhatsApp at 11pm, the Instagram DM with a group booking question, or the email that sits unanswered until morning. Conduit handles those inquiries in real time.
Past guests are your lowest-cost direct booking opportunity. A guest who stayed once requires no acquisition cost. WhatsApp and SMS re-engagement achieves 98% open rates versus 20–30% for email campaigns, with personalized offers that reference their specific stay.
Real-Time Inquiry Conversion and Post-Stay Re-Engagement
Convert the 11pm WhatsApp inquiry before morning. Conduit's AI agent answers instantly with live PMS data, quotes rates, handles objections, and confirms the booking in the same thread before the guest decides OTA convenience is easier.
Handle Instagram DMs and email inquiries across every channel. Conduit unifies WhatsApp, Instagram, email, voice, and chat into one workspace. The AI responds instantly, verifies availability, quotes rates, and processes payments — all in the channel the guest chose.
Re-engage past guests with personalized offers they'll actually read. Post-stay re-engagement via WhatsApp and SMS, timed to the guest's likely travel window, referencing their specific preferences from their last stay. One direct re-booking recovers months of OTA commission on an equivalent new guest.
Build the guest relationship that OTAs don't give you. Every direct booking is a guest relationship you own: contact data, preferences, stay history, re-engagement rights. The value compounds booking over booking.
