January 17, 2011 - Chicago, IL – Evision Worldwide has announced a new Online Marketing Budget Calculator for hotels and the hospitality industry. Evision is offering the calculator for free with no registration required.
 
“Our clients have repeatedly requested help with one of the most onerous tasks they face: building this year’s budget,” says Chief of Marketing Ronnie Soud. “Realizing we were sitting on a mountain of empirical data about hotel marketing, we assembled a tool that would make budgeting for online marketing much simpler.”
 
Mr. Soud adds that the tool can also be used to evaluate or validate existing budgets.
 
The interactive tool allows hotel marketers to input a small number of variables – such as the hotel’s market, amenities and ADR – for a completely customized budget. “No two hotels are alike,” says Soud, “and our hotel budget calculator recognizes that. It speaks to each hotel directly.”
 
Then, the online tool instantly generates a budget with hard numbers for every online marketing channel, from standard search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising to cutting-edge mobile marketing and local optimization. It balances competing marketing channels, initiatives and opportunities to help hotels create a high-ROI budget that generates revenue for every online marketing dollar spent.
 
“We’ve also included an optional commentary with in-depth explanations written in plain English,” Soud adds. He says that hotel marketers may or may not have questions of their own, but their bosses almost certainly will. By anticipating those questions, the expanded commentary translates raw numbers into answers and actions that can be used immediately.
 
The tool offers a valuable resource for hotels that struggle with building a budget in an industry that’s intensely competitive and ever-changing. With a few clicks, it can answer some of the most difficult and confusing questions hotel marketers face.
