Hotel Testimonial
"WebEventPlanner.com has saved us considerable money in printing and in postage. The fact of money saved is always worth repeating, however WebEventPlanner.com has also added greatly to our top line! Our electronic sales kits are always current and can be updated within 24 hours thanks to the outstanding service and support of Louis and his team. We have our material in the hands of the meeting planner in seconds, not days and at no postage, printing or travel costs. I do not believe that our sales teams could sell as effectively if it were not for our electronic sales and catering material.
Thanks WebEventPlanner.com!!"

On the navigational bar of your Hotel E-Packet, site visitors wishing to receive promotional material from your hotel will be able to Submit Email Addresses for more information. Each address submitted will be forwarded to the staff member of choice for your hotel, in the same manner as your Inquiry Form (*see below).

When submitting their emails, visitors will be able to select

Check the help button in your email program for instructions on "Creating a New Folder."
Your email program may offer other ways to organize emails. Check with your IT manager

Training Hotel Staff: Be sure that each of your hotel sales and catering staff members have added their Hotel E-Packet Link Address (provided to your hotel at sign up) to their signature of each email. This way a complete Hotel Sales and Catering Packet is sent with each email. See your Hotel Users Guide for more information on adding link to signature. Or check with other hotel staff members; we are confident someone within your Hotel will have no problem adding a signature to an email.

Due to the ever growing concern of Internet piracy, privacy, viruses and program compatibility issues we will no longer accept foreign coding to be added within our database/program. Foreign coding posses a security issue and risk to our business and to our client sites.

Each hotel is responsible for edits on spelling, pricing and to check links, email addresses and email submissions forms to ensure they are working and forwarding properly.
