It’s 2020. Guests don’t want to have information pushed in their faces. They want to be drawn to a hotel because it’s the right fit for them. But in a heavily saturated industry, how do you simultaneously increase brand visibility while advertising your services to people who actually want to stay at your hotel? With inbound marketing.
Tactics to include in your Inbound marketing strategy
Understand SEO
88% of guests prefer to book a hotel online. If guests can’t find you there, your hotel won’t get booked. SEO strategies can help improve brand visibility and Google ranking.
Create a social media presence
One in every three people are active on a social media platform. What better way to advertise your hotel than with a strong social media presence? A social media presence helps potential guests understand your brand and determine your trustworthiness based on your engagement.
Blog
Contentis king. It can come in many forms, but blog posts are a fantastic way to show off industry knowledge, exhibit social proof and increase brand engagement. On top of that, SEO optimised blog posts can help you generate new leads for months- even years- to come.
Social proof
Guests don’t care what you have to say about your hotel because- of course- you’re biased. They want to hear what other people have to say about their experience at your hotel. Collect social proof in the form of social media likes, customer reviews, video testimonials and celebrity and influencer endorsements.
