New Product Launch: An easier way to communicate with your customers
Erin Gunnuscio • Jul 20, 2021
🚀 Product Update 🚀
The past few months we've been busy talking to tour operators about how to more easily manage bookings and communicate with customers. And with their help, we’ve launched some big updates to Bókun, focused on customer communications, including:
- Manage customers better: Easily search and filter to find your customers and manage their bookings.
- Create professional emails: Create consistent, professional emails in minutes using pre-written email templates.
- Message the right people at the right time: Send automated or one-off emails to all of your customers, a segment, or an individual.
- ... And more!
To celebrate a product update like this, we often make videos for our colleagues on the Bókun team. But we didn't want to keep this one to ourselves … check it out:
Here's a quick overview of the product updates:
What's New?
You'll now see a “Customers” tab in the left-hand navigation in your account. Within that section, you'll find:
- Simple search and filter options to find every single customer in your Bókun account.
- A customer overview where you can see an individual customer's entire booking history, personal information, and quick actions including "send email," "create booking," and "edit booking."
- Completely new email templates, allowing you to create consistent, professional emails in minutes.
- A new bulk emailing feature.
What's Improved?
- Automated Messages have gotten a massive facelift. And now you can use pre-created email templates to send automated messages to your customers.
- Booking cards have been completely redesigned to be easier to use.

Venice Tours offers local experiences in Venice and is one of Bókun’s key accounts. Their main goal when they contacted us was to increase the sales of their tours significantly.

In this case study, we review how their sales success was achieved through Bókun’s Channel Manager API. We will detail how with the help of Technology Partner, Datagest, the tour operator was able to connect via API without any cost to resources on their side.
