How To Create A Fruitful Luxury Resort Marketing Strategy

By Anthony Hamilton


Due to the proliferation of mobile technology, consumers now demand value before they can offer businesses their attention. And the situation isn't any different in the hospitality sector. In order to keep up with evolving consumer tendencies, managers need to use innovative luxury resort marketing techniques.

Although paid search is one of the most effective advertising techniques, only a few players in the hospitality sector use it. In paid search, businesses are allowed to buy listings that appear alongside the natural, non-paid search results. The search engine is usually paid for every click on the sponsored listing. Pay-per-click advertising works very well in capturing traffic that could otherwise have been directed to other sites. Besides, this medium is surprisingly quick; it's possible to generate targeted traffic within minutes of opening an account.

Chances are, your resort has already been featured several times in the social media posts of your customers. Because social media platforms allow direct interaction with the audience, they're highly potent and persuasive marketing channels. The campaigns are also more targeted when compared to those on print and broadcast media. To leverage the power of this avenue, regularly post quality content and respond to requests from your followers in a timely manner. This would serve to show guests that you're paying attention to their needs, something that's vital in building relationships with affluent clients.

Basically, multi-channel integration works to enhance your outreach by increasing points of contact with customers. And there are various tools that could help you manage multiple channels efficiently. With such resources, the process of creating and executing cross-channel marketing campaigns will become much easier and cheaper as well.

Because most web users have very brief attention spans, you need to make a good impression within a short time. And the best place to do this would be on your website. Start by conducting an audit that will help you identify popular pages and their less-appealing counterparts as well. The analysis will help you make improvements that will convert more visitors into guests.

More and more customers are now using their mobile devices to make listings. It thus helps to have a website that's easily accessible via different devices. For the most part, optimizing your site for smartphones would involve making your content useable on small screens. Mobile apps are also emerging as a highly effective channel in generating repeat business and reaching out. So be sure to check the worth of such platforms to your resort.

To position your hotel in a rather competitive sector, you need to gain a fairly large presence across a handful of channels. And this can be done by joining an affiliate program where you can showcase your brand and post news on offers. Still, it helps to ensure that the network conforms to your brand's processes, reputation and identity.

Due to intense competition within the hospitality sector, standing out and getting noticed can be somewhat daunting. As a resort manager, you need to constantly look out for strategies that will improve your marketing campaigns. And this will involve embracing innovative ideas while enhancing your online visibility.
