Open Hospitality, a global provider of hotel Internet marketing solutions, has announced the availability of fully managed Social Media services. Participating hotels can now actively join in various social media, while reducing the impact on staff time required to adequately support emerging media.

"Social media has evolved into a key marketing and service recovery system for hotels. By offering fully managed services, we allow hotels to eliminate the ramp up time spent creating and maintaining their social media. Managing these services for our clients insures that content is fresh with frequent updates, that promotions are creative and most importantly, that hotel resources are focused on their core responsibilities," commented Chris Wichers, executive vice president of Open Hospitality. "Our reputation for providing complete web marketing solutions insures that we can be counted on to quickly and accurately handle social media needs."

Open Hospitality will create and maintain a hotel's Facebook account, adding images and logos, creating photo albums, reviewing and commenting on fan comments and posts. A Twitter presence will be created and maintained to include status updates and responses to follower comments and questions. Open Hospitality social media clients will be continuously consulted to insure fresh content and promotions are included in all social media distribution. Service recovery postings will be expedited and sent to appropriate on-property staff.

Additional online marketing opportunities are available with Open Hospitality partners such as TripAdvisor and Kayak. These targeted programs are aimed at expanding a hotel's marketing reach and can be then promoted via various social media. For more information, contact Open Hospitality.
