Hotel internet marketing is incredibly important. But it’s only one piece of the puzzle. While you need an effective hotel marketing strategy, what you want is greater RevPAR. You want lower cost of guest acquisition. You want more direct revenues for your property. And you want to accomplish these goals while making the most of your hotel’s marketing budget.
Especially now, in the time of Covid-19, successful hotel marketing requires a coherent strategy and effective tactics to take advantage of any opportunities that exist to capture demand for your market.

When it comes to digital marketing, the hospitality industry plays in the big leagues. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and others spend billions of dollars each year to attract and acquire guests. And they pass those costs along to your property. Can you compete against these industry giants?
Definitely. That’s what we do!
The point isn’t to get rid of OTAs. It’s to make sure you only pay them for guests you can’t reach on your own. And help you build a marketing and distribution strategy that delivers results.
