The Rewards of being a Genius
In this webinar we showed that excellence in social, mobile, and web functionality clearly increases revenue. In the 22 hotel brands where revenue was tracked, there was a strong correlation between higher digital IQ and increased RevPAR. Hotels that excelled at marketing in the digital space experienced a 5 to 15% increase in Revenue Per Available Room between 2010 and 2011. Many hotels with less focus on digital experienced stagnant growth in RevPAR over the same period. This proves that investment in social media, mobile applications, and web clearly pays dividends.
Topics in Depth
First Click Attribution – There were a few questions about first click vs. last click attribution during the event. We wanted to provide some valuable resources to those who wish to learn more. In a recent report entitled “Why Marketers aren’t giving Social the Credit it Deserves” Adobe discusses the variance in ROI attribution when a first click vs. a last click model is used.
Google Keyword Finder – You can access the Google Keyword Finder here to get a sense of how much search traffic that certain keywords generate each month. Remember, global results show worldwide searches and local results show all searches from the US. It is possible to changes your primary market to another country for our overseas attendees.
Display Retargeting – For those with questions about retargeting, check out this article from Digital Day entitled “Why Retargeting is the Hottest Area in Ad Tech”. The article covers types of retargeting, expected conversion rates, and how Intercontinental uses retargeting.
