Developing a robust and effective Internet marketing
strategy requires the establishment of ongoing interactive
relationships with customers (hotel guests, meeting planners,
corporate travel managers, and travel professionals) for the
purpose of gaining extensive knowledge of customer attributes
and performing precise customer segmentation.
Experience in the travel and hospitality industries
provides incisive insight into the value of creating relationships
with customers. Hotels, resorts, and tourist-area businesses
understand the importance of a positive customer experience
for generating repeat visits. Email newsletters and marketing
communications can help businesses in the travel/hospitality
industry connect event and sales promotions to specific contact
interests.
