ResNexus uses easy steps & intuitive shopping
The
ResNexus booking engine was designed with your campers in mind, because we know that a great shopping experience leads to more revenue.
ResNexus: Making a reservation is a simple step-by-step process, and the guest can even shop by special or package first and then select a site—a ResNexus-only feature!
Newbook allows your guest to pick a special by individual unit, but it does not guide you through the process to make sure your guest is selecting the proper qualifying dates for the add-ons tied to the package.
ResNexus allows campers to see top offers immediately. In addition, guests can shop by special, with the system guiding them to qualifying dates and units.
Newbook's Booking Engine lacks retail sidebars. Add-ons appear only after unit selection. That means your guests won’t be able to see what specials, packages, or retail items you have available until after they choose a unit to book.
Boost revenue with promotional sidebars.
ResNexus enhances your booking engine by displaying specials, packages, and retail items alongside your units. This strategic placement increases visibility and encourages campers to enhance their stay, leading to higher revenue and improved guest satisfaction.
Your retail items stand out throughout the shopping experience with ResNexus.
Retail items can give your business thousands in additional revenue and enhance your campers' stay.
ResNexus allows your guest to select multiple retail items without having to hit a back button.
With ResNexus, you can offer retail items, specials, or packages on sidebars on the first page. Add-ons are shown again before payment, boosting revenue and improving camper experiences.
