Special Promotions
One of the best ways to promote your property is to attract media and consumer
attention with inviting seasonal promotions. And the easiest place to publicize
them is on our
Special Deals page. Here's how:
Here's the free deal for Silver members and up:
-
Log in with your property ID and password, then click the "specials" link on
the left-hand side of the page.
-
Under "Special Summary," click the theme of your choice (see below) and combine
a promotional rate with whatever tempting treats or special event tickets your
guests might enjoy--it's up to you.
-
Remember that creative offerings are more likely to attract media attention --
they make a better story.
