Revenue 360 - Sales, RM and Social Media Integrated Approach for Leisure

Webinar April 4


March 27, 2012

Potential customers are impacted by all three of these to locate and make decisions for their leisure travel.   Ensuring that you have an integrated approach to be found by potential customers is essential – especially this summer!

Google estimates that a leisure traveler will visit approximately 23 different sites before making a decision.  In addition, not only do they visit review sites and may actually change a reservation based on reviews but they will also heavily rely on the recommendations of friends and family.

“In this webinar we discover strategies that incorporate all three disciplines into a unified strategy’” says Carol Verret.  “Silos are so old school. It is imperative that all three departments have a complimentary game plan.”

In this webinar we will explore the following:
  • Sales:  Not only individuals but also social groups use much the same process for making their travel decisions.  How will you coordinate your efforts and email blasts with RM and social media promos?
  • Revenue Management: Which leisure customers are your targets?  Selecting the online platforms and the OTA strategy are critical for exposure to those multiple channels they visit prior to selection.   And don’t forget the Billboard effect!
  • Social Media: There are new social players in town!  Pinterest is the most exciting new player – a visually robust site that allows you to feature the hotel’s presence in new ways.  Facebook timeline also offers new opportunities for promotions in an exciting graphic way!
Following this webinar, participants will be able to develop an integrated leisure strategy using all three for their hotel.  This webinar should be attended by representatives of sales, revenue management and social media. 

The webinar is on April 4 at 10am PST, 11pm MST, Noon CST and 1pmEST.  The fee is $99 per connection and $89 for two or more connections from the same company.  It is an hour in duration and will be recorded and sent to all participants following the program.
