Invest in your brand and make people feel special and valued even before they have booked with you.

If you could give one piece of advice to hoteliers looking to drive more direct bookings, what would it be?

Regardless of whether you are part of a group or an independent hotel, building a brand will pay rich dividends.

What's the most creative way you've seen a hotel use guest messaging or email marketing?

A guest, impressed by the guest messaging concierge, walked up to a hotel front desk to ask the concierge out on a date. He had no idea that he was texting with a messaging product and had assumed it was a human!

If you were a hotel amenity, what would you be and why?

I’d be the gym/fitness centre. People are intentional when they walk into these and they always walk out feeling great for having taken the time to invest in themselves.
