Guest Relations Help with Hotel Sales

No matter what industry you’re in, you want to drive traffic and increase sales. It’s the basis of business and it’s what keeps you running. The hotel industry is no different. Although there are many ways to increase hotel sales, one of the best is customer relations. Establishing excellent customer service is critical to running a hotel that thrives.

How the Relationship Can Increase Hotel Sales

As obvious as it may seem, guest relations is incredibly fruitful for hotel sales. Many owners may not consider every aspect of those benefits. For one, a happy guest is sure to come back whenever they’re in the area. That’s a very visible and measurable benefit. But what about the intangible benefits? What you may not have considered is the fact that an extremely satisfied guest can become free advertising for your hotel. Maybe they tell their friends about their experience, prompting them to stay with you. If those friends tell their friends and family, you’ve started a chain reaction of potentially recurring customers.

Another consideration is the potential social media benefits. If that guest is prone to post about satisfying experiences on social media, you have free advertising with an even larger reach. If that person happens to be a social media influencer, even better. A good review from a guest like this can mean hundreds, maybe thousands, of people will see a post talking about how great your hotel is. In addition to social media, a guest might leave a review on Google, Facebook, or Yelp. These reviews help to influence the decision of potential guests to stay at your property. If they see that your hotel has 30 five-star reviews, they can trust that they’ll more than likely have a good stay. The point is, you never really know how much a guest can benefit your hotel sales, so it’s important to treat each and every guest with the utmost care and respect.
