Offers must be associated to at least one Listing. In order for a user to add an Offer to a Listing, the user must have Admin access to at least one of the Listings they want to associate. This is referred to as the primary Listing association.
Each Offer can be associated with up to nine additional Listings, where the user does not require Admin access to associate the Listing. These are referred to as secondary Listings.
Example of when to associate multiple Listings to an Offer
A user manages the Best Western Hotel in Camrose, and want to feature a Stay and Play package. For this package, guests can choose between one of three area attractions included in the package. In this instance, the primary Listing association would be the hotel, and the secondary Listing associations would be to the three attractions the guest can choose. If the associations are made, the Offer will appear alongside all associated Listings when they appear on TravelAlberta.com.
Listing association also determines the TravelAlberta.com pages that will display the Offer.
When adding a Listing association, you are able to choose which Listing addresses are applicable to that particular Offer. You typically choose 'Yes' unless the Offer does not make a stop at the address indicated on the Listing. More about this in FAQs.
Listing associations are a great way to increase an Offer’s exposure on TravelAlberta.com, because an Offer that is associated to multiple Listings will appear on the same pages as those Listings.
