Business Development Manager South Germany – Holiday Parks

Onze oorsprong ligt bij Expert Webdesign, waarbij wij websites voor allerlei bedrijven ontwikkelden. Zo ook voor recreatie ondernemers. Hier kwamen we telkens hetzelfde probleem tegen: de websites liepen ver voor op de markt en concurrentie, maar misten de mogelijkheid om direct via de website een vakantie te boeken. Klanten moesten hiervoor telefonisch contact opnemen met de receptie of uitwijken naar externe boekingsplatforms. Dit moest beter en gemakkelijker, dachten we.Daarom zijn we om tafel gegaan met allerlei partijen als receptionistes, parkmanagers, technische diensten, schoonmakers, slagboompartijen en de directie, om vanuit diverse perspectieven de knelpunten in kaart te brengen. Het resultaat was de ontwikkeling van een innovatief reserveringssysteem dat alle benodigdheden voor recreatiebedrijven integreert. Zo is in 2011 Booking Experts ontstaan. Ons boekingsplatform is uitgegroeid tot hét platform voor vakantieparken, campings, hotels in diverse landen.Om aan de groeiende vraag te voldoen, hebben we in 2017 ons marketingbureau Booking Boosters opgericht. Hiermee kunnen we onze klanten helpen om hun online omzet te verhogen en hun groei te stimuleren. Middels effectieve en performance based marketingtechnieken, zoals SEO, SEA, Affiliate Marketing en Social Media, helpen wij vakantieparken groeien en floreren As Business Development Manager South Germany for Holiday Parks & Campsites, you'll drive customer acquisition and regional growth across Southern Germany.
