I spoke at a travel marketing conference last month, and heard the same refrain over and over again about "rate integrity. " The idea is that if you cut your rates, people will not value your product. Instead, travel companies are offering other enticements, such as two-for-one deals or free room nights. But travelers are holding out for better bargains. "Looking to 2009, its likely that well see all kinds of hotel deals to draw consumers in -- discounts and special packages," says Joe McInerney, the chief executive of the American Hotel and Lodging Association, a trade group for hotels. Yes, but when McInerney believes the deals wont fully materialize until after the holidays.

2008-12-30 TRIPS WITH A TWIST: Travel discounts and freebies abound, especially on the Web - Community Extra - Kalamazoo Gazette

Although it may seem like our tight economy has spawned this topic, its actually something Ive been planning to write about for quite some time. There are and always will be discounts, coupons and freebies out there. Sometimes they are offered upfront by eager merchants. Sometimes you have to ask for them. Two-for-one offers and cents off (dollars off on big ticket items) are a time-honored way merchants and retailers try to convince us to try a new product, sample a line extension, spend a night, try a meal, pay a visit -- or engage in any number of other commercial interactions.

2008-12-29 DISCOUNTS CAN BE DANGEROUS

To be sure, discounting is effective when done wisely and strategically. It can get consumers excited about a product, encourage them to buy more and help your short-term bottom line. However, whether the purchase is a hot dog, a handbag or a stay at a five-star hotel, customers want good value for their hard-earned money. The price of something is often an important determinant of its perceived value, as Dan Ariely points out in Predictably Irrational. Often, the more consumers pay, the more value they ascribe to a purchase. If you discount prices purely to boost sales, buyers may begin to question that value.
