A New Era in Digital Marketing for Accommodations

Today is a big day for Odysys customers and for the innkeeping industry. We’re releasing the largest update to Odysys ever. We’re calling it Odysys Prime.

To compete for direct bookings, properties must have an optimized, high-converting website and booking engine. But that’s just a small piece of a very big puzzle. Reviews, listings, social media, email marketing, blogging, advertising, retargeting, and guest communication, – all play a role in driving bookings. Unfortunately, this can be very overwhelming. What to do, when to do it, staying on top of Google updates, learning best practices, ADA, compliance, site speed… You get the picture.

The new version of Odysys aims to bring order to this chaos with an eye towards the future of marketing.

So Much More Than a Website

Odysys has always been focused on helping innkeepers & hoteliers drive more direct bookings. As a leader in the space, we recognize the need to evolve our product and our services to better serve the industry. The simple fact of the matter is, many of our customers, and many of those in the industry view Odysys as just another website provider. But those who take advantage of what we offer in terms of content, tools and customer success meetings know that Odysys is so much more.
