Get Strong Direct & Database Marketing SupportDirect marketing (both online and off line) is a science for managing customer relationships throughout the customer lifecycle. Being a specialized discipline, it is vastly underutilized by most hotels. Hotels need to build their marketing program on a foundation of strong direct marketing and database marketing disciplines. To realize the full benefits of CRM, direct marketing thinking must drive strategy - not be a subordinate "add-on." In a recent study of over 1,200 marketers MarketingSherpa and ad:tech reported the most effective and efficient marketing weapon companies have/use is email to existing customers. Don't be fooled. Many hotels are sending emails and promotional post cards as a short-term tactic to build immediate sales. Successful hotels are personalizing emails, offering relevant information, following direct marketing best practices to build immediate sales and long-term relationships with customers and prospects. They are using each communication to increase loyalty and maximize the lifetime value of each guest. Few communications companies have direct marketing as a core competency. Your challenge if you want to benefit from CRM - find one that does. |
