"What Group-Buying Escapes delivered to us through these group buying sites exceeded my highest expectations. Not only did they sell over 4,700 room nights during our summer low season, they took care of all the administration and headaches associated with working directly with these companies. However what truly amazed us at a resort level was the amount of money these guests sped on F&B, tours and spa treatments. We've gone from our usual 25-30% low season occupancy to well over 60%, and we can't get these Aussies out of our restaurants and bars! A huge thank you t you guys!

Sales & Marketing Manager
"As the largest condominium resorton the Gold Coast we had been approached directly by a number of the larger group buying sites, but it was obvious they clearly didn't understand our business. What we liked immediately about working with 'Group-Buying Escapes' was the way they handle all the logistics from concept to bookings. Not to mention helping set the all important T&C's. They had the whole process sorted - from setting the offer to helping us work through what inventory to make available to getting the offer out there and taking all the enquiries and bookings - it couldn't have been easier. The results speak for themselves-we received 4,095 room nights all of which filled the rooms we could not sell ourselves - so it was all incremental business."
Adrian Leary, Group Director
"If you're like any other resort you are constantly looking at ways to fill your excess rooms in the traditional soft months. This is where group buying channels can truly be of great help BUT with so many pit-falls you could seriously damage your brand, your future business and rate integrity! This is where 'Group-Buying Escapes' come into their own, the way these guys managed the offer in terms of the booking and redemption windows and the way they got the offer promoted didn't affect our normal selling rates or traditional channels and peak periods at all! With the success we've had through 'Group-Buying Escapes' we would never contemplate doing this exercise without them."
Regina Wilson, Director of Sales & Marketing
"As a globally branded resort we had a lot more to lose than gain from using this channel, therefore you can only imagine the initial concerns we had going into this. However as a new resort and with owners to report to we knew this was an opportunity not to be missed, the question was how to go about it – this is where 'Group-Buying Escapes' came into play. We had already worked with RewardsCorp previously with great success and they really held our hand through the whole process and had the perfect solution to working with these companies. Now we have a great forward occupancy base to support all of our more traditional initiatives which yield better."
