Promotions allow you to offer targeted discounts on your Booking Engine, helping you attract more direct reservations during specific dates, seasons, or booking windows.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1. Access your Promotions
In your Amenitiz admin, open the
Booking EnginesectionClick
PromotionsYou’ll see an overview of all the promotions you’ve created for your website
Step 2. Create a new promotion
Click Create a new promotion to start setting up your offer.
Step 3. Choose a promotion type
Promotion types help you create the right offer for your needs:
Standard: Applies a discount during the specific dates or season you choose.
Last Minute: Applies when a guest books shortly before their arrival date.
Early Bird: Applies when a guest books well in advance.
Each type guides you through the relevant settings.
Step 4. Add your promotion name and description
Fill in the promotion title and description.
These will be displayed to guests on your Booking Engine.
You can switch between languages using the language selector
Note: If no translation is added, the default language will be shown.
Step 5. Configure your discount and minimum stay
In Promotion settings, choose:
Discount
Apply a percentage (e.g., −10%)
or a fixed amount (e.g., −10€)
Minimum stay
No minimum stay
Same minimum stay as the rate plan
A custom minimum stay for this promotion
Step 6. Set the promotion period and active days
Define the period when this promotion should be available:
Start date
End date
Active days of the week (e.g. Friday–Sunday only)
This controls when the promotion is valid and visible for eligible bookings.
Step 7. Select the rooms the promotion applies to
Choose:
Every room, or
Specific rooms that qualify for this promotion
Only the selected rooms will offer this discount on your Booking Engine.
Step 8. Choose the rate plans you want to apply the promotion to
Each promotion must be linked to at least one rate plan. The discount is calculated on top of that rate plan’s price.
Example: In your standard rate your night costs 100€. You set-up your Last-minute promotion with a 10% discount linked to this rate and a 3 days in advance policy. If a client books through your booking engine 2 days ahead of the stay date, the final price will be 90€.
Step 9. (Standard promotion only) Adjust advanced settings
Advanced settings let you control when the promotion becomes visible to guests — separately from the stay dates.
This is useful when you want guests to book early, or when planning flash sales or scheduled promotional campaigns.
How it works:
Promotion period = When the discount applies
Visibility period = When guests can see and book the promotion
Example:
You want to offer a summer promotion for stays between 1 July and 31 August, but you want guests to discover it before Christmas so they can plan ahead.
You would set:
Promotion period: 1 July → 31 August
Visibility period: 1 December → 31 December
Guests will see the promotion in December, but it will only apply to stays in July and August.
Step 10. Save and activate your promotion
Click Save and activate.
Your promotion will appear on your Booking Engine according to all the rules you’ve configured.
