Effortless Usage

Pamporovo PLC started using the service immediately after it was active on the website. The calls were redirected to the receptionists and they were ready for new hotel reservations and event bookings.

Customer's feedback

Our partners from Pamporovo PLC made a survey on how clients reacted to the new service. According to the feedback, they managed to reach the project goals and also improved their overall customer experience. With the implementation of the Live Chat Alternative, all company locations started receiving more international inquiries without changing anything in their daily operations.

Industry Trends

Being less dependent on various 3rd party booking channel services is what most of the hotel owners are looking for. More direct reservations from the hotel’s website result in reduced cost per reservation and more revenue for hotels.

The Live Chat Alternative Usage Results

The results for Pamporovo PLC were higher than expected. The company reported a 35% increase in pre-event bookings compared to previous periods. Direct hotel reservations were also greatly increased by 28%, allowing the company to not only grow their revenue but also raise the profit margins.

Purchasing traditional LiveChat software will uncover hidden costs like chat agents’ salaries and others. In differentiation to it, Live Chat Alternative utilizes your existing telephone lines to increase your sales volume without making changes in your staff’s daily routine and without the necessity of hiring new people.
