No A2P registration.

Where iMessage runs in the funnel

Where a dedicated iMessage line sits in the funnelEvery source you already pay for feeds the same five stages: new lead, conversation, booked, showed, closed. A dedicated iMessage line sits on every stage, not just the first, which is why replies, show rate and close rate all move at once.AdsFormsListsCallsNew leadSpeed to lead100%iMessage lineConversationReply, qualify2-3x repliesiMessage lineBookedConfirm, remind+33% bookediMessage lineShowedNo-show saves70%+ showiMessage lineClosedOnboardingMore revenueiMessage line

Group sales runs on response speed

Planners source four properties and shortlist whoever engages first. HBR's 2011 study: firms responding inside an hour were 7x more likely to qualify the lead. RFP buying compresses the window further.

  • Inquiry fires a webhook. In a minute, planner gets a blue bubble from a sales manager's line with a question about dates or headcount. Everything rides one thread.
  • Corporate-rate prospecting works the same lane: short messages to travel managers, rate agreement as attachment, renewal in existing thread. B2B leads add-on at $0.03 per contact, billed monthly with the line.

One thread for the entire guest lifecycle

One thread replaces OTA, email, phone tag. Pre-arrival confirmations, upsells two days before, during-stay concierge, reviews, rebooking all land where guests read.

  • Late checkout and upgrades, offered two days before arrival. Guest answers in one tap, charge lands on folio.
  • During-stay requests answered in thread instead of phone tag, with read receipts showing who saw them.
  • Post-stay reviews and rebooking offers in the same thread, bypassing OTA constraints.
  • Win-back campaigns to past guests in the old thread at zero new ad spend.

Connected to your PMS and CRM

Native: GoHighLevel. Also: REST API, webhooks. Replies write back to records, read receipts show who saw. Sends respect time zones. Setup: lines provisioned, triggers wired, sequences built.

The payback on one recovered upsell

One dedicated line runs $249/month or $1,949/year. One late-checkout upsell or one recovered reservation covers it. Lines pace 50 opted-in / 30 cold per day; replies unmetered.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work if guests are not on iPhone?

Yes. Guests on iMessage get blue bubbles with read receipts; everyone else gets RCS then SMS. One workflow covers the whole guest list, routing each message to the best available channel.

Does it connect to our PMS?

Yes. GoHighLevel is native. REST API and webhooks work elsewhere: Reservation created, arrival tomorrow, checked-out events all trigger messages. White-glove setup wires triggers with your team.

Can we message past guests for win-back?

Yes, from the old thread. Seasonal offers and maintenance reminders to lapsed guests produce visible week-one wins on new retainers. Consent and opt-out rules apply; STOP is auto-enforced account-wide.

What does a single property line cost?

One dedicated line runs $249/month or $1,949/year ($162.50/month, activation waived). Unlimited iMessages, no per-message fees. Lines pace 50 opted-in / 30 cold daily. At 4+ lines, price drops to $199 each.
