      Boutique Hotels

      The literature of it all

      Our species has been travelling since the dawn of time. Thankfully, we have evolved from fighting for caves to booking hotels. We have also evolved from trying to cover the bare need to seeking exclusivity, luxury and unique experiences. Maybe, the next step in the evolution of our species will include a hump and a cellphone shaped hand. Not a pretty picture, however quite probable, as we constantly scroll down, needing new things that we didn’t know existed just a minute ago. Our choices are infinite and you need to stand out.

      In recent years the internet, social media and online bookings have shifted the travel industry dramatically. Throw a post pandemic era in the mixture and you have a whole new world to make your mark in and a whole new set of travellers to attract. And you need to make it easy for them to find you, choose you and most importantly like you, remember you and share you.

      Whether you are a boutique, a small, a leading, a design or a luxury hotel and everything in between, you need strategies and execution in order to become the new desire and get high quality bookings.

      Talk to us and we will make sure that you will get the tailor made strategy that you need

      Your needs

      For you to adapt and excel in this new world, you must have an attractive digital presence that represents the unique experience you offer.

      Based on your uniqueness, you can identify your target group of travellers and turn them from viewers to customers. And a solid base of happy customers that will come back and also recommend you to their friends or to anyone who is willing to listen, can solve your problems of seasonality. You know, those stressful gaps in your booking calendar.

      And remember, you also need to make it easy on your customers and offer online bookings and additional services, which will also minimise your dependency on travel agents and OTAs. It’s a win-win situation. Not so for the travel agencies though.

      To make it short, sweet and very official, you need to build awareness, increase visibility, convey image/experience, sell bookings to the right customers, cross-sell additional services and a complete digital transformation.

      Does all that sound like a lot? You don’t know where to start or how to go about it?

      Luckily for you, we specialise in exactly all that. And we have done it before, with great success. And we have the process to prove it and boy, do we love processes.

      • Website design and development
        • Websites are the first impression a potential customer has, in their search for the perfect accommodation. Therefore, it is important that their needs are met immediately on your website, by having a multi language content and a booking engine integrated.
        • The look and feel of your website must not only comply with your hotel branding, but most importantly, it should reflect the experience the customer will have during their stay, with best practices being the use of photos and videos, showcasing amenities and additional services.
        • Your website should make it easy to convert visitors into customers online, with the right design and the seamless integration of the website with the booking engine of your hotel. This translates to a clear call-to-action, with a user friendly interface and best UX practices.
        • Your website needs to be mobile friendly and travellers need to be able to finalise a booking easily and efficiently, regardless of the device they are using, as they are making bookings on the go. This requires a responsive web design.
      • Conversion rate optimisation (CRO)

        We can audit your website to ensure maximum convertibility that will turn visits into direct bookings.

        • Campaigns with objectives that range from building awareness to increasing social followings, can further help your hotel convert the traffic of your website or your social profiles, to actual sales.
      • Email marketing
        • Keeping in contact with regular, new and potential customers is a necessary step to generate direct bookings and to build customer loyalty.
