Face to Face with Daniel Pongkankam

what made you decide to undertake this new adventure?
Inspired from a founder of OHC in one evening, and we were though that it’s very true that there are many property out there that do really need help on online marketing as most of the new small hotel are overlook this point which in fact it’s very importance for them. Online may generate them 40%  – 60% for the whole year round from their income.

what are the benefits for the establishments you will work with?
We want to have a small company but successful in its section, as well as more relationship and new experiences that we can get along the way. Hopefully one day it will be a well known company when people talking about Online booking management

What are the main directions and assistances you will give that will benefit your cleints and how?
With a very fair condition and contract this can ensure that all clients will get the most benefits they never imagine.
Somebody may think that this kind of company will only looking after booking and manage them. But what we do is to start from the first step if needed for the clients. If they already have some knowledge of online booking management will come in and see what need to be adapt and improve and give them a suggestion and all importance information that they need to know.
If some property do not have anything set up before, we are willing to set everything up for them with a minimal charge ie, photo shooting , setup a new rate plan, and give them a train  on general knowledge of Online booking management. In this way they will get the necessary knowledge they suppost to have and they can get along with our operation very well at the same time.

And other things is instead of they hire a full time staff to looking after the online booking which they will loose 4 days a month of his or her day off and some extras for vacation and public holiday, Yieldbiz company offer them 7 days a week and 365 days a year working days for their online booking. This is the great offer that won’t miss.

your main target markets and why you chose them?
The main market for the first year is a small local hotel and resorts(Thailand), from the observation this small properties are really need help. As per a size of their company it’s not really easy for them to get a good revenue manager or e business manager to look after their online booking with a small budget and some of them try to do it on their own which may give them a successful but we believe it will take them a very long time to get there.

how many hotels in one location or destination will you work with?
We are paying very much respect to our client. First thing is we will not take their competitor as the client.
Let say in once location such as Patong Beach( Phuket) we would get a maximum of 10 – 15 clients in a different location of the city only.

are you willing to work outside of Thailand in the enar future?
Sure, this is a long term plan. Once we strong enough we would love to expand our business to other contries, we may start from our neighborhood country.
