Use filters to hyper-segment emails to guests who don't book. Noble House won 100 room nights with a single campaign using four filters.

Capitalize on OTA traffic

OTAs can act as a billboard for your hotel, driving curious customers to your website to learn more. Target that traffic with special messaging and offers. Calabash Grenada’s “We miss you” campaign saw a 65% open rate and a 5.6% click-through rate.
