RoomSaver.com launches new website design, mobile website, and iPhone app to help travelers find hotel coupons on the go
ORLANDO, Fla. – July 15, 2010: RoomSaver.com, a brand of Travel Media Group and division of Dominion Enterprises, has been re-launched with improved hotel search capabilities, enhanced hotel information, and the most detailed and current maps available. The re-launch of RoomSaver.com, along with the introduction of the RoomSaver mobile website and the RoomSaver iPhone app are the latest in a series of innovations designed to make searching for hotel coupons more convenient for travelers no matter where they are.
RoomSaver.com’s new design allows travelers to search for hotel coupons by city or state. The search text box appears on every page of the site and its auto-complete functionality provides a drop down selection of cities and states to choose from. Another feature is dynamic Microsoft Bing mapping technology on all city search results pages where hotels are pinpointed on the map. Upon hovering over a pinpoint, the user will get a hotel name and rate, and upon clicking the pinpoint, the user lands onto the hotel’s detail page for more information. The RoomSaver mobile website is a condensed version of the main website, and is accessible from mobile browsers. The RoomSaver iPhone app is free to download from the Apple iTunes store. Both the mobile site and the iPhone app are designed to help travelers find hotel deals on the go. Instead of printing out hotel coupons from a desktop before a trip, a traveler can perform a hotel search while on the road and simply present their phone displaying the mobile coupon at the hotelier’s front desk. “The addition of our RoomSaver iPhone app and RoomSaver mobile site provides the last-minute traveler more freedom of choice than we’ve ever been able to offer in the past,” states Mark Novak, vice president and general manager of Travel Media Group. “Our print books are still the most popular product of their kind in every market we publish in, but now we have an added dimension to our distribution model. Instead of picking up the RoomSaver guide at a specific location, all you have to do is pick up your phone, do your search, and show the coupon on the phone screen to the front desk clerk.” As the first hotel coupon guide to adopt QR coding, RoomSaver.com has been actively engaged in the social media space over the past six months, utilizing Facebook ®, Twitter®, and MySpace® to increase interactions with its travelers and advertisers. As part of an ongoing initiative to provide additional value to the marketplace, RoomSaver.com will continue to introduce new products in the coming months.
