Aimee Cheek, Corporate Marketing Manager at CSM Lodging, is the lucky winner of a one year unlimited VBrochure Ultra Premium subscription valued at over $6,000. Cheek selected the Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, one of CSM Lodging’s 37 hotels nationwide, as the property to receive the prize. With VBrochure Ultra Premium, the Depot Renaissance Minneapolis will be able to take advantage of unlimited Media Units to display as much media as they want, including videos, virtual tours, photos, floor plans, promotional copy in a fully customizable Multi-Media Player that they can use as a media gallery for their hotel website and email signatures as well as a mobile hotel website. It will also be syndicated to thousands of online channels, including review sites, social media sites and online travel agencies. In addition, the property will receive the VBrochure Facebook App, which is one of the latest new modules of the VBrochure Online Merchandising System. The App enables the multi-media player, which houses and displays the Depot Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel’s media, to be embedded right in their Facebook page. Hotels that currently have the VBrochure Facebook App are experiencing substantial consumer engagement and impressive click-throughs to their booking engines via the App’s built-in “Book Now” button. Cheek exclaims, “I am absolutely thrilled about this! As the lines between social and retail are merging, I can’t wait to see how this great digital marketing tool will help enhance the visual story and sales conversion ratios of the Depot Renaissance Minneapolis’ current Facebook page, mobile site and other web properties” The hotel will also be featured on VFM Leonardo’s Facebook page as an example of visual merchandising best practices for hotels.
