Christmas season has already started. Hotels and resorts expect a number of customers to increase despite the pandemic and all those restrictions. People who have spent almost six months in lockouts can finally escape from their homes and relax in resorts.
Every year, ski resorts are always the most popular with the customers who wish to have fun, have a great time, go in for sports and "reboot" their health.
What are the resort clients expectations?
- Entertainment: saunas, steam baths, spas, ski slopes and any other services available at the resort will be very popular;
- Pleasant atmosphere, quality of service, cleanliness and modern interior - everything that creates a good impression in the first place;
- Security: no strangers, reliable room door locks, lockers and cells for storing valuables;
- Comfort: guests want to move freely around the resort and not think about their wallets, bags or other belongings.
ENTERCAM chip wristbands will help you to optimize the resort operations, automate all processes and increase the comfort of guests.
What useful functions do RFID wristbands have?
It will be very easy to implement wristbands if the hotel is equipped with the ACS (Access Control System). They will effectively replace standard contactless cards. If you haven't installed the ACS in your resort, it's high time to do it!
The advantage of chip wristbands is that they are very convenient to use. Just put a wristband on your wrist to have access to all resort services. What functions does contactless ENTERCAM chip wristband have?
- Access pass to any non-restricted area
The resort territory can be divided into several areas, access to which can be granted with an RFID wristband. The guests that have purchased a full package of services can get free access to all areas. But if a guest has selected just a few of the services, some areas may remain restricted.
- Room key and storage locker key
Chip wristbands can be used to open and close hotel rooms and storage lockers. They are very difficult to counterfeit or copy. Besides, electronic locks store each opening and closing in memory, together with the key ID number. If a client claims that some of his/her belongings are missing, you can easily check in the system whether someone has entered the client's room.
- Access pass to ski slopes
A skipass wristband is a perfect solution for ski resorts. They are much more convenient than cards or key fobs. An RFID wristband is easily and securely fixed on your wrist. Tap it on the reader to get registered at the chairlift. You no longer need to look for your pass in all pockets over and over again, and you will never lose or mislay your RFID wristband. But if you have lost it, it is enough to delete the pass in the ACS and issue a new one. Skipass wristbands are customized and cannot be used by someone else.
Most resorts provide their clients with their customized RFID skipass wristbands. The ACS doesn't accept other chip wristbands and won't let unregistered skiers get to the ski slope.
If your resort is not equipped with its own lift or ski slope, but you cooperate with a company that has some, it will be enough just to program the skipass wristband to operate both at the resort and on the third-party lift. The clients who take advantage of this option, can be offered various bonuses and discounts.
- Payment device
Do you offer charged services to your guests? Do they refuse them because they do not want to carry wallets with them? Offer them to pay for the services with RFID wristbands. We assure you that they will welcome the idea.
As a rule, there are two ways to credit funds:
- advance payment – guests replenish their accounts upon checking in or during their stay, and pay for their purchases before checking out;
- credit account – guests pay for their purchases with their wristbands, and pay the credit bill only upon checking out.
Both methods are convenient and effective, you just need to choose one that suits you most.
- Loyalty program bonus card
Offer your clients to register in the loyalty system. Accrue points or offer discounts for certain activities. E.g., bonuses can be accrued for visiting a sauna, spa or buying meals, and then written off to pay for the lift. In this case, guests will order additional services more eagerly.
These are the most popular benefits of RFID wristbands among a great number of other functions. Offer your clients comfortable and convenient RFID wristbands produced by ENTERCAM Company. We'll gladly customize them for you with your logo an company name, encode, encrypt and register them in your ACS. All you'll have to do is just give them to your guests.
The latter will be so pleased with the services rendered, that they will make photos of your custom wristbands and post them on their pages in social networks. An easy way to get effective and free promotion, isn't it?
