Booking a hotel? Why not call them on Skype?

By My status Scott Davison on April 25, 2008 in Partner news and products.

There are plenty of online directories available for travellers looking to book a hotel room. But the difference with [Voiceoverhotel.com]( http://www.voiceoverhotel.com/) is that all the hotels listed include their Skype Name, so you can make a [free Skype to Skype call]( http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/allfeatures/skypetoskypecall/) or start a [Skype chat]( http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/allfeatures/instantmessage/) and speak to the hotel directly before you make your booking.

* Customers can call or chat with the hotel via Skype.

For businesses looking to differentiate themselves from the competition or any business that wants to make it easier for customers to contact them, adding a Skype Name or [Skype Button](http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/share/buttons/ ) to your website and email signature, means your customers can contact you for free at the click of a button.

With over 260million registered users around the world, some of your customers and potential customers are bound to be using Skype, so why not give them the option to contact you for free?
