Pegasus Solutions Launches
Redesigned Web Site
Interactive pegs.com
created as tool for
independents, chains, agents,
and intermediaries |
DALLAS (April 16, 2008) – Pegasus Solutions,
Inc. has debuted the next generation of its Web site
at www.pegs.com, designed to more effectively guide
agents, intermediaries, hotel chains and independent
hotels to appropriate Pegasus offerings. Launched
earlier this month, the site has already realized
significant gains in volume of visitors, page views
and length of visits.
The highlight of the new pegs.com is its heightened
interactivity, including the home page that
encourages visitors to identify themselves with
one-click as either a hotel chain, independent
hotel, travel agent, or travel intermediary.
Juxtaposed to a running count of Pegasus
transactions processed year-to-date (in the 10
digits at the time of release), the client
classification is key to more easily directing
Pegasus customers and prospects to the information
they need, according to Pegasus vice president of
marketing Chip Rosales.
“With such a broad and deep presence in the
industry, it’s sometimes difficult for an individual
or company to know what Pegasus can do to meet their
specific needs,” Rosales said. “Therefore, we’ve
redesigned pegs.com to be extremely user-friendly,
leading visitors directly to the information that
matters to them. The new pegs.com clearly explains
to distinct audiences the need, application and
results of our services, while also recommending
related services.”
Once identified, site visitors are escorted to a
virtual environment – a hotel atrium for hotel
chains, exterior view of a hotel for independents,
call center for agents, or a server rack for
intermediaries. Dots appearing over specific rooms,
individuals or components serve to “tell the story”
behind transactions facilitated by a specific
Pegasus-provided product or service. For example,
room 920 in the virtual chain hotel booked a room
through the hotel Web site in her native tongue,
highlighting Pegasus’ Translation Services.
Coordinating Apple-like icons across the top of each
virtual environment lead to related information on
products with messages like “Go Global” for Pegasus
Translation Services, or “Manage Commissions” in the
agent space for Pegasus Commission Processing.
“This new site helps clients and prospects
understand our service offerings, while also showing
them how to break through to the significant results
they’re looking for. It’s not just about using
Pegasus, it’s about maximizing everything that
Pegasus can do for you,” added Rosales.
Live as of April 2, pegs.com has already realized a
16 percent gain in visitors, a more than 100 percent
increase in repeat visitors, a nearly 300 percent
improvement in page views, and a 140 percent
increase in time spent on the site.
