They fill your rooms.
They keep your profits.

OTAs like Hotels.com, Booking.com, and Expedia can be a useful starting point, but every reservation comes at a steep cost:

Lifecycle strategies for lifelong customers

Up to 30% fees per booking

OTAs take a significant cut of every reservation. That’s money you could be reinvesting into guest experiences, staff, or marketing.

Data-driven creative that converts

Lost guest relationships

When guests book through a 3rd party, you don’t own the customer relationship—meaning you can’t follow up, send offers, or invite them back.

Battle-tested frameworks for predictable growth

No loyalty building

Without guest data, repeat bookings are nearly impossible. Instead of loyalty, you’re left competing on the OTAs’ terms.

How Stimulate helps hotels win more direct bookings.

Keep 100% of your revenue

We drive guests straight to your booking engine, so every reservation comes through on your terms—and at your full rate.

Increase ADR

Targeted upsells and tailored offers encourage guests to add packages, extend stays, and spend more during their visit.

Build loyal repeat guests

Post-stay sequences, seasonal promotions, and exclusive perks keep your hotel top-of-mind and make guests eager to return and refer.

Own your guest data

We set up systems to collect and store guest data, giving you the insights to personalize campaigns, increase conversions, and drive long-term revenue.

Results you can count on.

Your questions already answered

How quickly can I see results?

Our clients typically see initial improvements within the first 30 days and significant results within 90 days. We know the best brands move quickly, so we aim to deliver extraordinary results faster than you'd find elsewhere.

What is the best way for hotels to reduce OTA commission fees?

The best way to reduce OTA commissions is to shift bookings to your own channels. Every time a guest books direct, you avoid paying 15–30% in fees to platforms like Booking.com or Expedia. With the right marketing systems in place, like personalized email campaigns, seasonal SMS promotions, and post-stay rebooking offers, you can remove OTAs from the booking process and avoid their high fees.  

How much can hotels actually save by reducing OTA dependence?

Hotels can save up to 30% per booking by reducing reliance on OTAs like Booking.com, Expedia, and Hotels.com. For a property generating $5M in annual reservations, that’s as much as $1,500,000 in fees lost to third parties. By driving more direct bookings, you keep that money in-house—reinvesting it into staff, amenities, and marketing that create an even better guest experience.

Can email and SMS really make a difference for hotels?

Yes—email and SMS are among the most profitable marketing channels for hotels. Email drives long-term relationships, helping you send personalized offers, upsells, and rebooking campaigns that keep guests coming back. SMS, on the other hand, is perfect for urgent promotions like last-minute availability or seasonal deals. Together, they give hotels a powerful system to fill rooms, increase ADR, and build loyal repeat guests—all without paying OTA commissions.

How long are your contracts?

We offer two flexible contract options to fit your needs: month-to-month agreements for more flexibility or six-month contracts with perks like upfront flow setup. You can pick the option that works best for your goals.

Who will I be working with?

You'll have two dedicated experts on your team, each bringing specialized skills to drive your success:
• A Creative Director
• A Retention Manager

They'll work with you to create and implement strategies that grow your brand and build customer loyalty. Backed by a talented team of copywriters, designers, and channel experts, they handle all the details to make your campaigns a success.
