Open Hospitality Signs Preferred Partnership Agreement With Leonardo Media

New York City | Open Hospitality is pleased to announce a partnership initiative with the foremost leader in online content distribution, Leonardo Media. The partnership’s primary focus will be centered on Leonardo’s eBook technology. Open plans to roll out Leonardo’s eBooks to its client base to facilitate the transfer of offline marketing materials into a dynamic and easily updated electronic format.

“The primary benefit of our offering this product is that it assures both consistency between the offline brand and the online brand but also ensures that the materials are updated as needed” says Brian Dass, Open’s President. “It all but removes cost as a barrier to updating brochures. Where in the past hotels would be faced with a large financial investment to update printed collateral this can now be done with very minimal cost with an almost immediate turn around.”

Leonardo CEO, David Elton said, “We are delighted to be working with Open Hospitality and providing their partners with an eBook solution that will deliver their marketing messages in real time to potential or brand loyal customers”.

“Many hotel groups and independent properties are already realizing the cost benefits and promotional advantages offered by eBooks,” Elton said. Print and distribution costs are dramatically reduced, as eBooks become a highly cost-effective way to distribute marketing material without the time-consuming task of the traditional distribution methods and the ever-increasing administrative costs that accompany them.”
