Combined offers

Offers can be set at multiple phases of the collaboration with partners:

• As part of the contract (early booking offer / longstay offer)
• During the season (yielding offer)

Sometimes these offers need to be calculated separately, but often also together (cumulative).

For example: a campsite has contractually agreed upon an early booking offer of 5% for all bookings that are being made until the 31st of March for the entire season. This campsite has also contractually agreed upon a long stay offer of 20% for all stays with a minimum of 7 nights, for all stays until the 14th of July and as of the 21st of August until the end of season.

During season the campsite notices a drop in bookings for arrival period the month of June. So in April they decide that they want to promote the month of June with an additional offer of 10%. This offer isn’t restricted by a minimum number of nights and need to be calculated in combination with the long stay offer that is already in place.

So when a client in April now books a 4 night stay in June the offer is 10% (last minute) and when a client in April books a 7 night stay in June the offer is 20% (long stay) PLUS 10% (last minute).
