Collaborative Partnership Creates a Massive Synergy

The cooperation through the Linssen factory and the LBH-network creates a massive synergy. „We stand out from others by combining our forces and presenting all individual charter companies as one brand, creating a very strong, loyal repeat booking clientele.“ – says Wendy. All charter operators - members of LBH gather once a year at a company's 'open days' event. There they hang out with their friends and families and exchange experiences and ideas for further promotion of a business.

Linssen & Linssen are continuously working on further development and identifying more exciting destinations, all in order to achieve guest satisfaction. They also launched a brand new website that is enabling them to reach even a wider range of clientele through their online activities.

Efficient Use of Special Offers

As the marketing umbrella of different individual companies, Linssen&Linssen uses Booking Manager boat rental reservation system. All Linssen charter operators use Booking Manager as a standard to manage thier day to day fleet operations, bookings, invoincing and marketing activities. This makes online booking very fast and helps to coordinate activities. Their agency works a lot with a booking sheet in the system. Wendy explains: „When there are ‘gaps’, we make sure that the destinations with less occupancy get more marketing attention. It also works in reverse, when a certain base has no availability we try to enable similar yachts and manage it from a different destination.“ Booking Manager software helps them to plan future promotional activities even more efficiently. To get a better visibility of special offers the System enables them to prioritise all available yachts with included special discounts, short term charters and one-way offers in order to present them to the clients in a relevant and efficient way. Greater transparency of special offers allows Linssen Boating Holidays to promote them with ease and to use it as a great marketing tool.
