Summary: Chief eBusiness Strategist Max Starkov will discuss leveraging mobile technologies to engage with today’s hyper-interactive travel consumer at EyeforTravel’s Customer Centric Strategies for Travel 2011 conference in Atlanta from January 26-27. The event is now in its 4th successful year and attracts a large, high-level audience for insightful presentations and debate.

New York, NY – November  15, 2010–Chief eBusiness Strategist Max Starkov of Hospitality eBusiness Strategies (HeBS), the leading Internet marketing firm for the hospitality industry, will speak during the session, “Leverage Mobile Technology to Engage with a Virtually Unlimited Audience” at the EyeforTravel Conference: Customer Centric Strategies for Travel 2011 in Atlanta this January.  The two-day conference will investigate best practices in customer-centric strategies to drive real engagement, loyalty and maximum profits. Participants will attend a wide range of challenging sessions lead by experts in travel-related fields.

Starkov, along with Jared Miller, Senior Director of Customer Self Service for Continental Airlines, will explore these crucial topics regarding mobile technology:
  • Which possibilities do mobile devices offer over traditional CRM systems?
  • What are best practices for engaging, retaining and seducing a vast and growing customer base with mobile?
  • How do businesses harness mobile for "customer recovery" and boost ancillary revenues with highly personalized mobile offerings?
  • How can great mobile websites and functional applications keep customers happy and loyal?
  • How can mobile marketing strategies be integrated with existing CRM and Marketing strategies for a 360 multidimensional approach?

According to Starkov, “The evolution of mobile continues to change the travel industry landscape. Mobile is a game changer; it stimulates the new breed of hyper-interactive travel consumers who demand immediate, anywhere and anytime information. This necessitates a change in travel marketing and content distribution, and hoteliers must be conscious of best practices to engage and reach huge audiences across multiple consumer touch points, including the mobile channel. This Eye for Travel conference brings together industry professionals at a crucial time in mobile marketing and I am excited to be a part of such an important event.”
