Want some tips for the holiday season? We covered those on The Hotel Moment podcast this week. 1. “Heads in beds” is an outdated approach. Focus more on slotting in personalization wherever you can in the guest journey — from promoting on property amenities to conversations with guests over the phone. It’s much more appealing to future bookers. 2. Whatever you do, don’t slash prices! That devalues your brand. Instead, attract guests based on the value you provide and use your data to understand your guests’ preferences rather than treating them as just another booking. 3. One way to increase your revenue today is with attribute-based selling. Identify the room types you have booked and consider where you can further monetize the attributes of those rooms. A better location, a better view from a specific room, or interconnecting rooms? It all counts. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Travel Tuesday is one of the most crucial times to implement these strategies to make the most of the demand coming your way!

Segment now, and you’ll guarantee revenue later. You can’t have one without the other. Hoteliers need to view segmentation as a non-negotiable rather than a yes-or-no decision. Here’s why: Making segmentation a foundational part of your marketing strategy generates 2.6x more revenue when using three segment filters instead of two. Read on for how hoteliers are putting money back into their business with segmentation.

Pause and reconsider this. Before you slash prices this holiday season to appeal to your guests, think about your brand.
