BOCA RATON, FLORIDA (June 22, 2009) � Cendyn, the leading
full-service interactive marketing agency for hotels and destinations around
the world, was selected in 2008 by Denihan Hospitality Group (DHG) to provide
a new CRM solution to manage all guest activity and communication pre-stay,
on-property and post-stay for DHG properties, all from a single platform.
Recently, Affinia Hotels, operated by DHG, launched their revolutionary
customer service program, My Affinia, powered by Cendyn�s eConcierge� System
and other Cendyn CRM Suite components: eInsight� and eSurvey�, to rave
reviews and impressive results.
�We seek out vendors who will work with us to create differentiating solutions that support our brands and provide customized experiences for our guests. Cendyn has the most advanced capabilities in CRM and came to the table prepared to push the envelope even further with each of their CRM products,� said Alex Zesch, Director of Interactive Marketing at Affinia Hotels. My Affinia allows guests to create a customized profile of preferred
amenities, and then when a booking is made, each e-mail reservation confirmation
enables guests to further fine-tune a particular stay through the My Affinia
Concierge (powered by Cendyn�s eConcierge�), based on their interests and
agenda. From dinner reservations and in-room spa treatments to theater
tickets and turn-down treats for the kids, creating an itinerary is only
one click away. Guests can access their entire profile with preferences
and update the electronic itinerary for their entire stay 24/7. Using
My Affinia�s Profile Builder at www.myaffinia.com, guests pre-select from
an array of customized offerings that will be in-room on every stay. This
feature is seamlessly integrated to Cendyn�s CRM Suite so that the guest
profile and all additional transactional detail can be maintained for each
guest. All customer touch-points including website, PMS and reservations
are managed in the CRM Suite so that all guest intelligence can be used
to generate more personalized and customized communication to various channels
� communicating the right message to the right guest at the right time
� which enriches the guest experience, improves booking conversion and
drives increased loyalty.
�The intelligence and automation provided by Cendyn�s solutions have allowed us to achieve our goals of providing comfort, customization and convenience to our guests through amenities and technology.
