  33. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2012 has been a good year.  After a few delays, we were excited to bring InnsMobile and all that it offers to the PAII national and Mid-Atlantic regional innkeeping shows.  In addition to bringing the most competitive mobile product available on the market to innkeepers throughout the country, we were able to get a lot of great feedback.  You asked, and we&#8217;ve listened.</p>
  34.  
  35. <h3>Add online reservations to your mobile website!</h3>
  36.  
  37. <p>After much deliberation, we threw the switch.  InnsMobile users may now activate their online reservations link on their mobile site.  To do this, simply log into your account, visit the <strong>Create/Edit My Listing </strong>page, and then select your homepage for editing.  About halfway down the page, you&#8217;ll see the following:</p>
  38.  
  39. <p style="text-align: center;"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-140 aligncenter" title="booking-engine" src="http://blog.innserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/booking-engine.jpg" alt="Booking engine interface at InnsMobile" width="424" height="192" srcset="https://blog.innserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/booking-engine.jpg 424w, https://blog.innserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/booking-engine-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px" /></p>
  40.  
  41. <p>Do note that if you&#8217;re fortunate enough to have a booking engine with mobile capabilities, you may want to ensure that you do not need to use a separate web address for the mobile version.  For more on booking engines and the dangers of using a non mobile-friendly booking engine with your mobile website, <a title="Why shouldn’t I link my booking engine into my mobile website?" href="http://blog.innserver.com/2012/03/why-shouldnt-i-link-my-booking-engine-into-my-mobile-website/">click here</a>.</p>

  95. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of all the questions posed to us, this is one of the most frequent.  Fortunately there&#8217;s a fairly simple answer.  At this point in time, no booking engine that we are aware of offers a truly mobile friendly user experience.  That&#8217;s not to say that popular devices &#8211; iPhones, Droids and tablets running on the same operating systems &#8211; cannot run several booking engines.  However, they cannot do so reliably.  Some users may experience excessive issues trying to select dates or specify other parameters within a typical reservation form, and information is not displayed in a format meant for mobile devices.</p>
  96.  
  97. <h4>So if it &#8220;sort of&#8221; works, why not use it?</h4>
  98.  
  99. <p>Part of the InnsMobile mobile website experience is a standardized click-to-call button.  While the functionality to add a similar button through which you can direct clickers to your reservation engine would be a simple feat.  However, until a booking engine can offer a truly mobile platform for visitors, we feel it&#8217;s not in your best interests to present it.  The last thing you want is for potential guests to waste half an hour trying to navigate a reservation system on their mobile device only to end up having to call you frustrated and flustered.  Worse, they might not even call at all.</p>
  100.  
  101. <h4>This seems silly.  What are booking engines waiting for?</h4>
  102.  
  103. <p>This is another remark we hear very often, and unfortunately we do not have an answer.  While going mobile is not simple for any major service provider with a need to give customers an online interface, the reality is that mobile is here to stay. Mobile is not a buzz word, and the portion of internet traffic that it represents will only grow.  With that said, it&#8217;s imperative that booking engines get with the program.  The only way to make this happen is to contact them!  We strongly encourage you to contact your online booking engine provider today, and request that they make mobile a priority!</p>

  139. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our recent reveal at the 2012 PAII National Show in Little Rock yielded a lot of valuable feedback from our customers.  By far the most inquired-about item was browser detection.  After all, you already put a lot of money and effort into having your website listed as high as possible on various search engines and directories.  When people on a mobile phone find you in that manner, it&#8217;s only natural that you&#8217;ll want them to automatically see your mobile website rather than having to look around for an icon to click.</p>
  140.  
  141. <p>We have your solution.  Current subscribes can log in and navigate to their &#8220;Innkeeper Resources&#8221; page to find a snippet of code which can be copied and pasted into the header area of your website&#8217;s homepage.  If you&#8217;re unsure of how to do this, your webmaster will be able to help without issue.  This code can also be fed into our Word Press plugin for full word press sites, making it easy for you to redirect new traffic directly into your mobile website.</p>
