Advance Sales

Offer advance sales with Time Pursuit. You and your customers will gain signficantly from doing so.

Customers increasingly expect a 24 x 7 service across all aspects of their life, including booking their leisure time. Advance booking lets customers plan their day out, being sure of participating in their chosen activity; this is especially helpful when availability is scarce.
And it makes sense to reward your advanced purchase customers for their commitment. Make your online prices the cheapest; send them promotions, vouchers or redemption offers; provide a dedicated fast-track entrance lane.  Whatever you do do, make sure that you do thank them – advance bookers are your best customers!

Businesses also benefit from advance booking. Here's why.  Advance sales let you grow your 'shop window' - use several distribution channels and add a time dimension to your advance sales. They let you bank “pre-booked” business instead of just relying on walk-up demand. And once committed, a customer is effectively prevented from going to your competition on the same day. 
Combined with a choice of distribution channels, advance sales will allow you to promote different promotions and pricing to different customer segments – a far harder exercise when all your selling is singularly at the gate.  You can use your customer information and insight into demand for future marketing activity and knowing volumes in advance helps you to forward plan team resources.  And, finally, did you know that it has been shown that customers who do book in advance then go on to spend more money on on-site ancillary sales?

Both for your customers and your business, it is clear that selling in advance makes sense.
