The same hotel, why are the quotations different between different platforms?

Small partners with hotel reservation experience may have encountered similar situations, that is, the same apartment in the same hotel restaurant shows different prices on different network platforms. I think it's like people going to the mall to buy things. The drinks of the same famous brand may be found in family photos, and the pricing may be different from that of RT Mart supermarket or Carrefour supermarket. The key lies in two elements. The first is the purchase cost, and the second is whether the merchant wants to market.

Let's talk about the cost first. They also said they would go back to the hotel to make a reservation. For the Internet booking service platform, the hotel room price of the hotel restaurant means the cost, which directly determines the website price, and then people talk about marketing. It is necessary to understand that hotel restaurants let internet ordering service platforms help market sales, and hotel restaurants will give them different percentages of commission. This is also easy to understand, for example, faster delivery and large-volume shopping malls will naturally get higher commissions; The commission of shopping malls with slow delivery and small quantity will be relatively lower.

It is precisely because of the larger internet ordering service platform that the commission from hotel restaurants is a little more. In this way, when the website itself must engage in marketing activities, it can be used to feedback some commissions to customers, and it is also a common practice to deduct them from the rent. That will lead to the price difference between the same products on our own service platform and other service platforms, thus attracting customers. People can also call it small profits but quick turnover, which is why people often advise people to shop around before paying. Even for the same commodity, the market price in different regions may be different. As smart customers, people should spend the least money to get more benefits.
