One resort realized the value of their college students, who, may not be made of cash, but do have a lot of influence. They enabled a group of college students to be pass evangelists by giving each “college rep” a unique promo code to share with their friends. The more their unique code was used, the bigger the discount that “college rep” received for his or her own pass.
Window Rate Discount
With all the advanced pricing for lift tickets, it can be difficult to stomach offering additional discounts off the already aggressive discounts offered online. Another resort wanted to offer discounts on lift tickets, but only on their window rates. They created a special window rate lift ticket product, priced at the window rate as a separate product from their regular online lift ticket product. Then they set up desired promo codes and only assigned the codes to the window rate priced product and not the online rate product.
Season Pass Loyalty
For the 20/21 season, a resort using Siriusware as their POS, offered prior pass holders a loyalty single-use dollar-amount discount to use towards their purchase of their 20/21 seasons pass. They worked with Aspenware’s service team to script unique discount codes that had varying amounts and rules, based on the previous season’s “pass level.” Appropriate discount codes were then emailed to 19/20 season passholders and could only be applied to carts that had 20/21 seasons pass products of equal or greater value of their prior pass.
