One of the biggest pain points hoteliers have when selecting software is being inundated with a laundry list of features that aren't standardized and take time and effort to organize, prioritize and figure out which ones they care about and need and compare vendors. Today, we're rolling out the new feature groups feature (no pun intended) to make it easier than ever for hoteliers to understand, visualize and compare the core capabilities of products to quickly understand the most important aspects to focus on.

HotelTechReport invests significant resources in traffic generation ranging from search engine optimization to paid traffic acquisition, technical advancements, software tools, email campaigns, and more. From time to time, HotelTechReport must reprice ad products based on shifting customer acquisition costs to match market conditions. This means that any usage of credits will be debited at the market rate at the time of use. For example, if the cost of an eblast campaign at the time of membership purchase is $7,000 and is repriced to $7,500 four months later to meet market conditions, and the Member uses those credits five months into the membership, that eblast will deduct $7,500 from the Member's agency services credit balance to reflect current market pricing. Repricing of ad products will occur no more than once per annum.
Members agree to abide by the Company's advertiser guidelines and policies. These guidelines and policies are designed to ensure a fair and transparent marketplace, and adherence to them is a condition of maintaining Premium Membership status.
In the event that a Member is acquired by another company, the acquiring company will retain the benefits of the Premium Membership for the duration of the current membership term. However, any credits associated with the Premium Membership may not be transferred to another company account.

Historically the way HTR has been structured is that in order to become discoverable in a category and generate leads, you needed to have a product listing/dedicated profile in that category. If the product could be purchased as a standalone product then you would list is as such, and if it was a module/add-on for another core product--then you would list it as an add-on profile.
The problem with this is that in many cases it doesn't make sense to have to create (and manage) an entirely new profile for add-ons since in reality, many times these are just modules with premium capabilities and functionality of another core product suite.
That's why as of next month, HTR will be transitioning from add-ons -> Modules, here's how it works...
UPDATE: This change went live on May 6, 2022 Learn more
If you currently have add-on profiles your reviews will be migrated to the core product and your modules will be created automatically so there is nothing that you need to do, it will all be handled for you.

Today we rolled out a redesign to the main site navigation on HTR to bring more content front and center and help users quickly find their way to relevant information.
The site wide navigation is the primary way that users navigate HTR and now the new design creates focused department based hubs of categories, products and content front end center throughout the user experience.
Along with the new site-wide navigation comes a redesigned vendor tool bar to replace the old design.
