The most unique and wonderful element of Internet marketing is that results are almost totally measurable, something we could never achieve with media advertising. Sometimes, even a small change or addition can make a huge improvement in reservation production. The ability to quickly measure the impact of that change is priceless.

The true function of any kind of promotion is to produce incremental business. The Internet savvy manager isn’t satisfied with simply knowing how many people sees his/her ad (web site), it’s the number of reservation conversions that count, that’s measurable too.

Using the Internet during Difficult Times
Faced with these challenges, the Internet savvy manager turns to the Internet. Due to the sheer nature of the Internet and the ways, in which people use it, the Net has the ability to produce quick and lasting results.

The Internet-savvy manager knows that a properly designed web site is the foundation of any successful online sales effort. The big question is ‘what is a properly designed web site?’ There are those who believe that all one needs is a web site which demonstrates hotel facilities, amenities, and services, with plenty of photos. The fact is that this information alone does nothing to help make your site searchable. Before you commit to paying for a new site, make certain that the company knows why and how people select hotels on the Internet and what sales elements are necessary.

The Internet savvy hotel manager knows that the best place to start is to have someone analyze and evaluate the ‘workings’ of your hotel’s web site. This makes sense even if you have already decided to have a new site developed, this analysis will act as a guide or blueprint to avoid mistakes on the new site with the how’s and why’s to incorporate certain necessary elements.

Destination-Focused Marketing

The Internet savvy hotel manager understands that the selection of a hotel almost always comes after the decision to travel to a specific area. Knowing this, a savvy hotel manager decides to provide the ‘reasons’ to travel to where the hotel is located. This can be done in the form of destination-focused marketing and the listing of activities and attraction on the hotel’s site.

Travelers search the Internet for activities and places to visit, D/F marketing can help them to also find your hotel.
