Malta, two locations, three properties. Direct bookings and group business in one system.

Pebbles runs a boutique aparthotel, a resort and a party resort in Sliema and St Paul’s Bay. Building on the hotel’s existing website and booking engine, we run campaigns that drive direct bookings and handle incoming enquiries, alongside corporate and group outreach.

The starting point

The starting point

Direct bookings and group business follow separate paths, but both have to lead to the same place.

In Malta, many bookings come through commission-based online travel agencies. Every guest who books through the hotel’s own channel instead saves the hotel that commission, and the saving goes straight to the bottom line.

Off-season, groups, corporate trips and events keep occupancy up. Waiting for them isn’t enough: organisers have to be approached, and quotes have to be fast and accurate.

What we built

Four components working as one system.

01

Campaigns optimised for direct bookings

Meta and Google campaigns tracked all the way to the hotel’s own booking engine, tuned to each property and season.

02

Instant enquiry handling

Every question and enquiry gets a fast reply by email or message; anything that needs a person’s decision is passed on immediately.

03

Corporate and group outreach

Targeted, multilingual outreach to event organisers, corporate travel and groups, with follow-up.

04

Unified measurement

Spend → enquiry → booking, tracked separately for guest and group business.

How it fits together

An enquiry’s journey, step by step.

  1. Campaign or outreach
  2. Offer or booking page
  3. Instant reply
  4. Booking engine or group quote
  5. Booking
What we measure

We measure business, not clicks.

  • share of direct bookings
  • spend per booking
  • group and corporate enquiries
  • response time to enquiries
  • quotes that became group bookings
What’s in it for you?

For hotels, the same system works in two directions: it steers guests to your own channel and goes out to find groups and corporate clients.
