8 Hospitality Social Media Tips - SMAZ Feb 2011 - ethology, mike corak, content marketing, content strategy

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Thank the people who came – didn’t think anyone would show up! – quick 2 minutes about ethology -
  2. Altimiter , Jeremiah Owyang
  3. There’s more than Facebook and twitter?
  4. …now, let’s look at some best practices fro responding to reviews (read through list)(Thank you) This is great way to encourage other people to write reviews, at Revinate we feel that reviews really are the next generation of guest satisfaction. So its essential you are thanking them for helping you improve your operations(Personality) The goal is to personalize your response to emphasize that it is coming from a person and not a canned response from a corporation(Apologize) Let them know that what they experienced is “atypical” and you will personally make sure that your feedback will make it to the right department(Just the fact you are responding show you are a customer focused organization, secondly studies show that management responses are read more carefully than the actual review
  5. Bookings, Revenue, and Average Value are all increased very significantly. This is for the four months following the launch of our social media campaign vs. the previous four months…and not just because of seasonality, in fact this is despite seasonality….Even more impressive is that all other traffic sources numbers where down the previous time period and the same period the year prior. For Example:For All Traffic Sources previous four months: Rev down 24%, Total Bookings down 18% and Ave Value down 7%, Visits Up only 31%For All Traffic Sources same four month previous year: Rev Up 1%, Total Bookings up 11% and Ave Value (not surprisingly with discounting) down 10%, Visits down 10%An Asset we had from the client was 50 $25 off Coupons…all were claimed, an area for improvement is to know how many were actually used…this is a great example of where a direct ROI isn’t measured, but we know it has a significant impact on the bottom line.We’ve built pretty impressive fanbase, etc., but what is really impressive in the amount of interaction those fans have.Facebook fans growth an average of 40% increase each month and during active promotion times over seven interactions per day…comments, likes, posts, photos, etc. and average 4/day.While growth of fans/followers, etc is good, as I’m sure you all know it is not the be all end all. A good barometer of how you are doing is see where posts are coming from…if they are all from your administrators, you are not interacting, but pushing info. It tells you that you are not hitting the mark with your audience.Most of the reviews on TripAdvisor were focused on one specific lodging option (some of which were negative and it was the least expensive area to stay at the resort). Of course addressing the concerns raised is part of the job, the other part is somehow encouraging folks that had a good experience to share that info too. This is where the coupon came in to play…we didn’t require folks to leave positive reviews or post, etc. we simply posted things like Have you been to Callaway Gardens lately? The next 10 people who review us on Trip Advisor will receive a $25 Coupon! (link)We think of our social media fans as an army troupe…we can really use them to accomplish other initiatives. When you post a video on YouTube, you can direct your fans to view it, Google local reviews, identify fans with blogs.
