Introduction to new Widgets
buy.at and Expedia are proud to launch a brand new range of widgets that are now available in the buy.at management area for you to use! They have all been created specifically for the affiliate sector with a focus on ensuring customers are presented with the most up to date pricing and availability, streamlining the customer journey and allowing affiliates to tailor creative to suit their promotions - all of which will naturally serve to increase conversion rate.
Within this page, you can find demo widgets along with step by step PDF guides on implementing each tool that you can download.
We would welcome your feedback on these widgets, so if you would like to share your thoughts and suggestions, show us your promotions or would like further information, please contact either Jaslene Khaira (Account Manager) or Christopher Said (Account Executive).
Expedia Hotel View
Expedia Hotel View is an exciting new proposition utilising Google Street View technology to allow customers to search for hotels using either postcode, city, or landmark. Once a customer arrives at the Hotel View site they are able to see all hotels in that area on a map, along with up to date rates, customer reviews, an availability checker, further information and pictures of each hotel. More excitingly, customers can then click 'View Hotel' to be taken straight to the Google Street View image of the hotel so they can check out details such as the location of the nearest restaurant, nearby parks and bars and get a good look at the general hotel surroundings. They are then just a few clicks away from making a booking - with the confidence that they know what to expect when they arrive! We have two ways for you to direct customers to the Hotel View site with buy.at - Hotel View banners or deeplinks. Details of both below!
