Finding new ways to grow your hotel’s revenue doesn’t always have to mean reinventing the wheel.
Sometimes, it’s about making the most of what your guests already love – and gifting is a perfect example. Whether it’s weekend getaways, a spa day, afternoon tea, or simply giving someone the flexibility of a voucher, gifting gives you another way to welcome guests and generate income before they’ve even walked through the door.
3 smart ways to turn gifting into hotel revenue
Here, we’ll look at 3 straightforward ways hotels are using gifting to increase revenue, and how the new Giftpro integration with Rezcontrol makes the whole process simple for both you and your guests.
1. Make gift vouchers a top seller
Monetary gift vouchers are a popular choice when it comes to hospitality gifting – and for good reason. They’re flexible, popular with guests, and they give your business the benefit of upfront income. For gift-givers they’re an easy choice. And for recipients, they offer the freedom to book exactly what they want, whether that’s a weekend stay or a spa experience.
With Giftpro, you can set up a branded online store that makes buying vouchers simple for your guests. Everything feels consistent with your venue’s look and feel, and your monetary gift vouchers can be purchased in just a few clicks. When you pair this with Rezcontrol, the redemption process is just as smooth. Vouchers tie directly into your hotel management software, cutting out the manual admin for your team, and making sure guests enjoy a hassle-free experience with their voucher.
2. Package your services into ready-to-gift experiences
While monetary vouchers give flexibility, gifting experiences can give people something to look forward to. A spa day package, a tasting menu, or an overnight stay – these aren’t just gifts, they’re memories waiting to happen. And that extra sense of occasion makes the gift feel that much more special.
With Giftpro, you can package your most popular services into ready-to-gift experiences, showcased in your online store. It takes the guesswork out of gifting, but the buyer still feels like they’re giving something extra special. When it’s time to book, Rezcontrol keeps things simple by handling availability and reservations behind the scenes, allowing guests to book online and pay using their voucher. That way, your team can focus on delivering the standout experience your guests were promised.
3. Turn quiet days into opportunities with products and events
For hotels, not every day is fully booked – that’s where gifting can fill the revenue gaps. Selling branded hampers, retail products, or tickets to special events gives guests more reasons to engage with your venue, even when rooms aren’t full. It’s a smart way to generate income and strengthen your hotel brand without adding extra work for your team.
With Giftpro you can bring all of these new offerings together in one easy-to-use online store, and packaging and delivery is handled too. So guests can buy from your venue anytime, whether it’s a seasonal hamper, an outdoor activity or a special event. And thanks to Rezcontrol, everything is all managed in one place, so purchases, redemptions, and bookings – it’s all there in your existing property management system. There’s no need to switch between systems or manually track bookings. Plus, it’s an easy way to turn what might have been a slow day into additional revenue.
Gifting is more than just an obligatory add-on. It’s a proven way to grow revenue, attract new guests, and strengthen loyalty with the ones you already have. And with the Rezcontrol and Giftpro integration, gifting alongside reservations has never been simpler.
