Internet Marketing Tips to Hospitality Professionals
Chevy Chase, MD –April 8, 2010 – Video is
increasingly
becoming the preferred method for learning.
Statistics show that over 90% of Internet users prefer watching a video
over reading an article and that video helps increase a viewer’s
overall
comprehension by 55%. In an effort to
use the power of video as an educational tool to benefit hotel and
travel
professionals, TIG Global, a
subsidiary
of MICROS Systems, Inc. and a leading interactive marketing company for
hospitality and travel, recently launched a new e-marketing video
resource- Ask
the Experts. The series is
designed to empower and educate hospitality professionals around the
world,
providing them with the opportunity to ask, vote and view answers to
their most
burning Internet marketing questions. TIG Global's Director
