Winner of Axses Reward
Maureen Reid of Point View Apartments in Barbados 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 January 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 AXSES GDS revenue calculator 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"

 


We are happy to help you in any way we can

Sincerely

Juliah
