Live Promotions & Room Block Rate Display Enhancements

Clearer Savings, Smarter Booking – Live Promotions & Room Block Rate Display Enhancements

We’re excited to introduce an upgrade to how we present live promotional rates and exclusive room block pricing on the traveler booking experience. These improvements make savings crystal clear—helping travelers instantly see the value of booking direct through your Ripe-powered site.

🛎️ What’s New?

If a lodging property is offering:
• A live promotional rate through a connected channel (like Expedia), or an exclusive negotiated rate tied to an event or room block, travelers will now see improved before-and-after price display. This includes: • The original (crossed-out) rate • The new discounted rate • Total price savings for their stay • A helpful badge like “Exclusive Event Only Rate" which is configurable by you, for room blocks.

This change isn’t just cosmetic. It’s built to convert. By making the value proposition obvious, we’re creating urgency and transparency—two key drivers of conversion. More bookings mean more production for your destination, more revenue for suppliers, and stronger attribution for your marketing.

🌐 Where You’ll See It

This pricing presentation now displays automatically on:
• On the DMO/Client level engine, when available • Any event or DMO-affiliate site using connected inventory with live or block pricing

🔧 No Action Required (But Make Sure Your Rates Are Optimized)

If you’re already offering negotiated rates or leveraging ARI connections, this enhancement is live. Want to start using event-only pricing or need help getting a rate promotion synced? Reach out to our Client Success team and we’ll get you set up.
