We’ve all heard this as a basic truth in business; “It costs five times more to acquire a new vacation-goer than to retain one.”  A mobile wallet pass hits a high retention rate of 90%, meaning 9 out of 10 pass holders keep their passes on their mobile phone long after their vacation. Continue to update guests after their stay by sending mobile updates right to their lock screen.

Reminding them to book for next year during the off season is easy when mobile wallet passes link to your property listings’ booking system.
