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.
