How to deliver perfect guest experience: Webinar


I want to thank revinate.com for giving me an opportunity to attend the webinar.


The main points which were mentioned during the webinar:
·         Attract guests through a great online reputation
·         Pinpoint customer needs with precision
·         Target your messages to drive success and bookings
·         Deliver a highly customized experience on property
·         Identify and recover guests who are disappointed with efficiency and class

The valuable information I learnt are:
·         The rise of Millennial travelers and their needs
·         How do digital travelers influence their circles 
·         Customers keep on talking about their experience not only during the travel but after their travel 
·         Hotels shouldn't ignore the negative comments, they should learn to answer them with a positive attitude.
·         Hotels should identify the appropriate platforms to find the behavior of their potential customers
·         Hotels could use softwares to track their guests needs and to recover the guests who are disappointed 
·         Three types of travelers:
·         Aspirational: These are the travelers who keep on paying attention on the different social media of their friends and take their friends' advise for their holiday decision. They are always engaged with their friends activities.

·         Regulars: They are the travelers who travel regularly for leisure or business and they keep an eye on the social media and online reviews.

·         Special Occasion: The traveler who travel for special occasions such as weddings, honeymoons, concerts and so on... They always look at the reviews before travelling.
·         Guest Marketing
·               Automated communications through the guest life cycle
·               Trigger-based and custom marketing campaigns
·               E-mail and SMS text messages
·               Deep segmentation and targeting 

All these information will be particularly useful for my future work.

Suggestion to improve the webinar:
It would be better if the participants could get chance to talk about their experiences and what they could recommend to improve the guest experiences.

Elegancia Hotels : Hotel Felicien, Paris


 +Hôtel Félicien  is a four star boutique hotel in 16th arrondissement of Paris.
In the above online Eco system we can see that the hotel content is shared through Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and also by the online press release.

I suggest the hotel to be present in Instagram because the pictures uploaded in Instagram can be shared with other networks; this will help to reach customers in other platforms too and it will increase the hotel visibility . +Hôtel Félicien  should post  more frequently in Twitter and Google+ to increase the engagement with the customers and to gain more followers.
