UK, April 03, 2012, 10:44 am -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Marston’s Inns, part of Marston’s Plc has selected SecureTrading, the UK’s leading independent payment processor, to manage its online customer accommodation booking, which will lead to a raft of business improvements.
Using SecureTrading’s payment services, Marston’s can manage its web operations in house and monitor reservations more closely, while the system enables customers to take advantage of promotions on a pre-booked basis.
Jemma Milton, Digital Manager at Marston’s Plc, said: “As well as offering full PCI-compliance, it was important for the payment gateway to keep customers on our website to underline our professional service and brand. Thanks to SecureTrading, we can now measure occupancy rates as a result of our stronger value driven offers.”
Marston's had previously used third
party websites to process payments but SecureTrading’s system integrates fully with
the existing website, ensuring customers stay in contact with the brand throughout
the secure payment transaction and take advantage of offers such as discounts on
meals. SecureTrading’s enhanced payment gateway enables Marston’s to react to customer ‘no-shows’ more promptly and operate
efficiently.
Tim Allitt, Head of Sales and Marketing at SecureTrading, comments: “Marston’s has
an impressive pedigree and we are delighted to provide its payment gateway. Our
secure system enables Marston’s to get closer to its customers and analyse
reservation data.”
A recent trading statement reported that Marston’s had enjoyed a like-for-like sales increase in the 23 weeks to 10th March of 3.5%.
