How WhatsApp Enquiry Works on a Hotel Website: Best Practices
WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging channel in India. Here is how to configure high-converting WhatsApp reservation funnels on your hotel website.
1. Pre-Filled Message Templates
When a user clicks "Book on WhatsApp" under the Executive Suite card, the message should automatically read:
This saves the traveler typing effort and ensures your front desk receives the exact context needed to close the reservation.
2. Response Speed Matters
Hotels that respond within 5 to 10 minutes convert over 60% of WhatsApp inquiries. Ensure your reception staff have WhatsApp Web active on reception computers during business hours.
