Is Your Localized Marketing Plagued By The Pick 2 Rule?
The hospitality industry prides itself on providing world class experiences for their
guests. Adding a personal touch goes a long way. However, as noted earlier, that personalization is currently limited and hasn't spread to prospecting and consumer engagement.As is, localized marketing tactics fall short in their ability to provide potential guests with
relevant information about individual hotel properties that is personalized with the recipient in mind. These generic marketing and sales pieces give hotel General Managers and Directors of Sales little opportunity to differentiate their particular property from others within the brand or from other competitive brands in their region.The Pick 2 Rule Plagues Hospitality Professionals
Imagine you're the General Manager for your hotel, you just met a business owner at a
Chamber of Commerce event, and they are in need of a meeting space. How will you or your team follow up with them? Will this means of communication create a differentiator versus your competition? Most importantly, will they receive this customized information in time to consider your property among their other options?The ideal situation is that you provide them with an immediate, personalized and
professional response that details exactly how your hotel meets their needs. This is where current local marketing tactics fall short, most companies currently have to settle with 2 of 3 forcing them into the "Pick 2 Rule."
+ An immediate and personalized response usually comes in form of an unsightly word
document that discredits your brand in the eyes of the recipient and would make the Brand Compliance person shutter.+ An immediate and professional response usually can't be personalized, making it yet
another generic marketing piece destined for the trash.+ A personalized and professional response usually requires design and creative
support from corporate marketing which stalls delivery and potentially eliminates you from being a candidate.Magic (And Software) Defy The Pick 2 Rule
