In the first part we saw some ways in which a hotel can achieve improved results in its bookings through the correct and appropriate use of the services provided in the digital internet world. We also saw how the right strategies facilitate the adaptability of a hotel and the services it provides to the ever-changing market conditions and how tourism trends and competition play an important role in differentiating the goals set by each business.

But let’s now look at some more ways to achieve greater visibility for your hotel.

Use Social Media for the Development of your Hotel

The presence of your hotel in Social Media is essential. Share content that appeals to your target audience in order to drive natural (organic) growth and increase reach. Periodically you can also incorporate more general posts to keep the feed active and multi-dimensional.

Users spend a significant amount of time every day on social media platforms, making them a powerful tool for communication and promotion. Invest in content such as photos, short videos, live broadcasts and visually-rich creations to boost interaction and sharing.

Beyond publishing, meaningful communication with your audience through comments and personal messages is equally important. This connection fosters a sense of trust and strengthens the relationship with your potential visitors.

Content Ideas for the Hotel’s Social Media

Display your facilities and rooms through short and attractive videos. Share positive customer reviews and use them as credibility testimonials. Promote your facilities through simple but well-designed audiovisual productions. Announce promotions and discount codes, create authentic content with your staff, and be sure to integrate your blog into your social media strategy.

The organic approach has value, however targeted advertising is essential to maximize your exposure. Through ads you can show up to the exact audience you want, at the exact right time.

Paid Advertising on Social Media

The use of Paid Social platforms is a key driver for increasing bookings, even during periods of low demand. A targeted advertising plan that includes top-tier markets, with clear objectives and smart allocation of the advertising budget, can deliver excellent results.

Storytelling plays a crucial role, enhancing brand awareness and building loyalty among visitors.

Advertising in Search Engines (Google, Bing)

Platforms such as Google and Display Network are proving to be extremely effective in achieving high conversion rates. The key lies in the right campaign structure, choosing the right keywords and the landing page experience.

Many hoteliers now choose advertising as a means of direct promotion, avoiding the high commissions of OTAs (Online Travel Agencies).

Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing is a valuable promotional tool, as content creators already have a targeted and loyal audience. Partnerships with influencers, whether they are household names or micro-influencers, offer increased visibility and influence with your target audience.

Their proposals are accepted with confidence, enhancing the credibility of your business. Choose partners that align with your hotel’s identity.

Offers & Discount Codes

Discounts and special offers are always a strong point of attraction. Include discount codes in your strategy and promote them through multiple channels to attract new bookings and boost customer loyalty.

Encourage Reviews

Positive reviews significantly influence the decisions of future visitors. Encourage satisfied customers to leave a review on relevant platforms or provide a testimonial for your website. The appropriate timing is at check-out or via a thank you email.

Partnerships with Travel Agencies

Working with travel agencies can ensure a steady flow of customers. Target agencies that appeal to a similar audience to yours to maximise the effect of partnerships.

International Promotion of the Hotel

Incoming tourism in Greece is huge. If your hotel is targeting an international audience, your strategy will need to be adjusted accordingly.

Make sure your website is multilingual and SEO optimized in the languages of the markets you are targeting. Manage Social Media accounts with content in the language of each country. Create ads on both Social Media and search engines, tailored to the language and culture of each country.

Consider setting up an affiliate program or working with influencers from target countries, and make sure your email campaigns are in the recipient’s language.

Every promotion should speak the “language” of your target audience, literally and figuratively. At the same time, ensure that your customer service can support communication in multiple languages.

In conclusion

A multi-channel promotion strategy is now essential. Each medium can work in a complementary way and boost your bookings.

The success of your hotel depends on its visibility online, either through an organic presence or through targeted advertising. Show up at the right time, to the right audience, and invest in tools and partners who will guide you based on your needs and market developments.
