Toronto,
ON – October 11th, 2011 – Hoteliers are reputed to be great
storytellers, and social media provides unprecedented platforms and
audiences
for sharing stories. And yet much of the social media content hotels
produce is
similar: a bit dull, unmemorable and salesy. With the help of a hotel
general
manager turned mystery author, VFM Leonardo will demystify social media
and
storytelling and show you how to reach, engage and convert more travel
shoppers
with vivid, compelling stories on social media channels.
During this 45 minute webinar, Social Media and Storytelling for Hotel Marketers, on Thursday, October 13th at 11:00am Eastern Standard Time, attendees will learn how to use storytelling techniques to grab the attention of travel shoppers, compel them to click for more, and convert them into guests, while at the same time strengthening the positioning and perceptions of the hotel brand. The presentation will be followed by a 15 minute question and answer session.
