Loews Hotels Orlando Adds
Digital Alchemy CRM Services

Orlando, FL and Palm Springs, CA � July 18, 2002 - Loews Hotels has selected Digital Alchemy to provide customer relationship management services to their three Orlando properties.  Digital Alchemy�s e-Relationship� and Full House� services will improve customer loyalty, increase repeat business and dramatically multiply the number of email addresses collected from guests. The program automatically invites guests to return to the property, sends email reservation confirmation, pre-stay marketing, and post-stay thank you notes, and provides other occupancy-increasing services.  

�Our partnership with Digital Alchemy will help us communicate with our guests and increase their lifetime value to the company,� said Michael Sansbury, Regional Vice President/Managing Director of Loews Hotels.  �Digital Alchemy brings a truly unique service that helps our marketing efforts and will increase guest loyalty and thus the bottom line.�  

Steve Haber, Founding Partner of Digital Alchemy and founder of Bolle Sunglassees of America sees great things in this partnership.  "We are very excited to add these Loews Hotels and help them promote their amazing properties.  The new Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Studios in Orlando is spectacular and provides a great opportunity to generate return business for Loews. We look forward to a long and productive relationship."

Digital Alchemy�s services consist of sending a series email messages to guests of the hotel.  �When the guest is making their reservation is absolutely the best time to start an electronic relationship with them and gives them a compelling reason to provide their email address� said Don Hay, President of Digital Alchemy.  

Digital Alchemy services establish a rapport with the guest that is used to educate them about property- and location-specific events and specials so they are more likely to spend time and money on property and later accept a return invitation to the hotel.  Offers are generated automatically to match guest interests with area events and offer rooms and airfare during periods where the hotel has rooms available.  The net effect is increased occupancy, reduced cancellations and no-shows and increased customer loyalty.  �Our customers tell us that cancellations have been reduced because guests have their buy decision reinforced twice� said Hay.
