A few popular business ideas that the business sector has seen grow in the past few years have been restaurants, home-based businesses and boutique hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\nBoutique hotels are small, yet luxurious, privately owned businesses, many of which compete with local, large brand-name hotel and resort chains. Sure, it may seem futile to compete with national hotel chains, but in reality, guests are more open to the idea of a small, personal experience that is received in the boutique hotels. All you need is a good marketing plan to generate interest.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking to open a\u00a0boutique hotel or\u00a0if you already own one and have yet to reap the benefits of an effective marketing plan, here are a few tips\u00a0that can help you promote your hotel brand and generate interest for your hotel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Press<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">One of the easiest ways to garner attention is through press opportunities. If you have yet to create a PR department in your hotel, it may be beneficial to create one. Most hotels have PR departments in order to pitch stories and attract the attention of media organizations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\nMost media organizations are hospitality-industry friendly, so be sure to send a well-crafted and appealing news release. You can consider it a win if you get at least one news outlet to feature a story about your hotel in your first two months of using PR as a marketing strategy. The more exposure your hotel gets, the more bookings you can generate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>SEO<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If someone is looking for hotels in your general area, they\u2019re probably going to refer to their preferred search engine to research prices and amenities. If you\u2019ve just opened your hotel, it\u2019s possible that your hotel won\u2019t show up in the immediate search results. SEO, or search engine optimization, is a form of internet marketing that integrates specific keywords with content, allowing your website to climb the Google search ranks. By using SEO strategies, your hotel website will become more visible to the general public, which, in the end, will help you draw in guests.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Social Media<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">All businesses, especially hotels, have to keep up to date with all the relevant social media accounts. Don\u2019t just create accounts for the sake of it, upload and post fresh, engaging content in order to generate followers, likes and extend your hotel\u2019s reach to new consumer bases.\u00a0 Typically, you\u2019re looking to generate positive reviews in sites like these. If you get negative feedback, remember to always respond and acknowledge the dissatisfied customer\u2019s feelings. If things start to get out of hand, Brand.com is a great source that helps businesses keep track of positive and negative reviews.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Discounts<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It always helps to offer customers discounts that are within your hotel\u2019s means; make sure you\u2019re still making money even though you\u2019re slashing prices. One way to both promote your hotel discounts and generate exposure for your boutique hotel is to use websites like Groupon to promote the discounts for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Hospitality Organizations<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Public Relations isn\u2019t just about managing press, it\u2019s about representing your business with other key stakeholders and exterior organizations. One of the functions of a PR professional is to network with other organizations within your industry, and in this case, it would be the hospitality and tourism industry. A job description of your hotel\u2019s PR professional should be to handle communication with your local tourism board, convention bureau and business associations in order to maximize promotional opportunities. Usually, organizations like these will also help you expand your reach.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>For more information or to implement your own company, just contact us&#8217;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Manager\u2019s Office<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000033;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>Marketing Team<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking to open a\u00a0boutique hotel or\u00a0if you already own one and have yet to reap the benefits of&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7663,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":""},"categories":[153],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 -
