arcRes e-commerce network tops 88 million dollars in inquiries for direct business to Barbados
arcRes e-commerce network tops 88 million dollars in inquiries for direct business to Barbados.

According to our preliminary calculations, AXSES bookings systems handled over BBD 88 million dollars worth of e-commerce requests during 2008*.

These potential sales were delivered directly to our clients.

AXSES took no commission or transaction fee.

arcRes now powers nearly all of our advertising (http://Bookable-ads.com) and all e-commerce channels. It is one of the most powerful direct e-commerce marketing systems for Barbados.

Make sure to turn Lookers into Bookers by using your arcRes to best advantage.

More about arcRes see news article in the Barbados Business Authority

(* Many suppliers (especially non-accommodation) also achieve significant revenue from direct bookings as a result of links from the Barbados.org network and our Internet marketing.)

Winner of Axses Reward
Maureen Reid of Point View Apartments has won a Reward for the pro-active use of AXSES technology.
Maureen responded immediately to the call to action from the January AXSES Newsletter. She wanted to subscribe without delay to BarbadosVacationSpecials.com. Before the end of January, Maureen’s Special was up and running and can be viewed at BarbadosVacationSpecials.com.
 
For her reward Maureen has chosen the "Active" theme at BarbadosHolidayThemes.com.
 
Point View Apartments is already listed under "Getaway" and "Surfing".
Maureen says: "The impact with the newsletter was with the specials. I wanted to make the most of the season if I ever had a space I could throw in a special.
I wanted to know more about GDS to get as much out of this season as possible. We don't know what's happening. I thought let me get as much exposure as I can."

We used the GDS revenue calculator developed by Ian Clayton of AXSES to see if it could be worthwhile for Maureen with only 10 units to be connected to the GDS. (Let us know if you would like this calculation done for your property).

We asked Maureen: "You have now been a client of AXSES for ten (10) years. How would you say this has benefited you?"

Maureen's response: "Greatly. Over the years I have observed the dedication of the staff at AXSES to their customers and also their being alert to keep the site visible and easily accessible. The result is I have requests for information and space that I cannot fill on a daily basis. This instills confidence that my information is available to interested persons."

I personally visited Point View to see the new addition to the property: A lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment just about 5 steps from the pool, and very private. The design is cool, comfortable and refreshing. The 2 bedrooms are separated by the living and kitchen area giving an even greater sense of privacy.

We wish Maureen continued success in her use of AXSES technology to guide visitors to her "getaway"
