Is Conventional Thinking in a Changing Marketplace Robbing Hotels of Revenue?

Evision Worldwide CEO Vikram Singh explores the implications and solutions
at the upcoming California Hotel & Lodging Association Conferences


July 30, 2012 - Vikram Singh, CEO of Evision Worldwide, will be speaking at both the Northern California Hotel & Lodging Association Conference and the Southern CH&LA Conference on July 31 and August 2, respectively. He will be featured as the luncheon presenter at the Southern CH&LA Conference.
 
The Northern California Hotel & Lodging Association Conference
 
In South San Francisco on July 31, Vikram will present “Advanced Website Analytics For Hotels: Converting Numbers Into Action.” In this session, Vikram walks participants through the most useful features of Google Analytics, both new and old, and explains how to best use them to help meet hotel marketing goals and:
  • Avoid pitfalls like using the wrong metrics and getting lost in endless data
  • Identify the most productive and profitable online channels and traffic sources
  • Use analytics to find new markets (customers)
  • Schedule and auto-generate reports to make life easier
  • And more
Simplifying reports, getting insights and incorporating that information into marketing decisions is key to success online,” Singh says, “but analytics can also be overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to break down the data simply and focus only on the elements that hotels care about.”
 
It’s the same approach taken by Singh when he oversaw the publication of an article series, “Google Analytics In An Hour A Week”  (available at EvisionWorldwide.com), written specifically for the hospitality industry.
 
The Northern CH&LA Conference takes place in San Francisco on July 29, 2012 at the South San Francisco Conference Center. Singh speaks at 9:45 a.m. To learn more about this conference, including its full agenda and list of speakers, visit its event page at www.calodging.com.
 
The Southern California Hotel & Lodging Association Conference
 
In Anaheim on August 2, Singh will give the luncheon presentation, “Blazing a New Trail: Success Favors the Bold in a New Digital Era.

Hotels have come to rely on comfortable but worn marketing channels and initiatives that have lost effectiveness and impact in the modern marketplace,” explains Singh. “Success will come to those properties who recognize that conventional approaches to SEO and PPC are no longer working.
 
Singh’s presentation will help attendees see the big picture of the modern online marketplace and recognize the ongoing changes that are making conventional thinking risky.
 
Online profitability today and in the future demands adaptability: shifting the way you utilize old marketing standbys, and embracing new technologies and directions like mobile and content marketing.”
 
The Southern CH&LA Conference takes place in Anaheim on August 2, 2012 at the Anaheim Marriott. Singh speaks at 12:15 p.m. To learn more about this conference, including its full agenda and list of speakers, visit the CH&LA website.
