?How can Hotels Increase Profits and Occupancy with Smart Data Marketing Strategies
ما هو التسويق بالبيانات الذكية؟ وفقاً لشركة HeBS Digital، فإن المقصود بهذا المصطلح هو الاستخدام المتوازن للبيانات الخاصة بإدارة العلاقة مع العملاء الحاليين والبيانات الخاصة بالعملاء المحتملين. فمن خلال الجمع بين هذين النوعين، تستطيع الفنادق تحقيق أقصى استفادة ممكنة من بيانات العملاء، سواءٌ كانوا سابقين أو حاليين أو محتملين، ومن ثم استخدامها لجذب المزيد من الضيوف. كما أن التسويق بالبيانات الذكية يُمكن أن يُساعد الفنادق لكي تصبح بمثابة حلقة الوصل بين جهودها التسويقية الرقمية والإيرادات المستهدفة من خلال تحديد الجمهور المعني والحصول على المزيد من الحجوزات المباشرة. وفي العديد من الأحيان، يستهدف الفندق ضيوفه السابقين ع Read More

Many in hospitality cheer the development of the labor-saving beings to do mundane tasks like laundry, serving drinks with little umbrellas in them on a cruise ship or delivering roomservice. One of my favorite commercials played in the United Kingdom in 2006 and featured a Honda robot called Asimo. The commercial, available on YouTube, features Asimo wandering through what appears to be a museum. During her (or maybe his) exploration, Asimo exhibits several “human” features: curiosity, trust, self-a Read More

Glut of brands confounds even hotel executives
If the above headline sounds like a riff on The Onion, then I have a future in satire. Turns out, the title actually isn’t sardonic, but rather sincere. As someone whose job it is to cover brands—old and new—I’ve seen them come, but rarely seen them go. Sure, they might get dealt away because they’ve outlived their usefulness, but once a brand is built, it’s likely here to stay. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: As long as guests show up at the door and developers build them, there is no reason to shutter a brand. Problem is, there are just so darn many of them now, and that makes th Read More

4 ways helps Hoteliers to get more bookings via Google
We need to talk about search engine optimisation, or SEO. It’s an area that can seem pretty murky compared to, say, running a voucher campaign or taking great pictures of your hotel, but it’s a key part of your hotel’s online presence. Good SEO is how you get organic traffic, and it’s how you get visitors on your hotel website who are actually going to book direct. Why is it so complicated? When you hear statistics like “Google’s search engine algorithm changes between 500-600 times a year,” it’s easy to understand why SEO best practices aren’t a constant. Read More
