BOLO for Event Engagement by RoamingAround:

Event Engagement by RoamingAround is a tool to quickly identify who is walking into a

booth so that the exhibitor can provide each visitor with targeted information that would be of interest to them or their brand. Each exhibitor will know whether or not the person approaching the booth is a new or existing client, spend history, and have the opportunity to access contact information, property codes, and brand association data. This tool facilitates note taking, and those notes can then be shared in real time with sales managers for follow up in hours with the client. Event Engagement by RoamingAround also enables exhibitors to export data for report consolidation to rank tradeshow success.

BOLO for 360 o by RoamingAround:

360o is a new way to experience guestrooms and meeting spaces prior to

booking a reservation or an event at any hotel. RoamingAround will photograph rooms, meeting spaces, common areas and other locations of interest and then picture stitch the images to create a virtual experience of the property, rather than just posting static photos. 360o enables hoteliers to place hotel guests in the center of each desired location and surround them with visual elements that make your brand unique. Hotels can use this tool to upsell guestrooms by offering deeper customer engagement, showcase your property in a mobile-ready environment, educate guests about your brand by combining interactive touch-points throughout the tour, and drive revenue by triggering impulse actions such as redeeming offers and upselling rooms. Staff can send small files to groups, VIP guests and international travels to upsell rooms and suites.

BOLO for Geo-Location by RoamingAround:

Using geo-location and geo-fencing technologies, hoteliers can trigger events or push

location-based services using personalized mobile communications with guests. This tool will help hoteliers to understand guest preferences and historical behaviors better. With geo-location, market segments are no more. Based on a guest's location, hoteliers can push micro-targeted messaging to better engage with travelers and improve engagement. This tool helps to drive impulse purchases and enables guests to take advantage of luxury amenities in real-time and provides accuracy through location to make all triggers personalized to each individual. Now brands can decide the areas and rules of when and who gets hit with these messages. Based on preferences, messages can be triggered in multiple languages for a multi-cultural experience.

BOLO for Offers & Incentives by RoamingAround:


RoamingAround is now taking a hotel's print/paper offers, incentives and in-room collateral and making them digital. By digitizing the stay experience, guests have mobile access to all communications on their own device. Hoteliers can send guests options to redeem rewards, coupons, offers or take advantage of luxury VIP incentives. These mobile offers drive revenue by getting people into different venues (restaurant, spa, meeting rooms, gym, night club etc.). Offers & Incentives by RoamingAround enable hoteliers to establish a Mobile Concierge, promoting things to do in the area (theater tickets, restaurant recommendations etc.) or providing access to transportation services. It's also a way to offer guests an itinerary, so they associate their fun time and special giveaways or rewards with your brand. Finally, Offers & Incentives by RoamingAround gets people talking on social media about your hotel or brand and sharing their experiences.
