ABSTRAK
Grand Royal Panghegar adalah sebuah hotel baru yang terletak di Jalan Merdeka No. 2, Bandung. Grand Royal Panghegar didirikan pada bulan November 2008. Kenyataannya, Grand Royal Panghegar adalah sebuah merek baru dari Hotel Panghegar. Hotel Panghegar itu sendiri sudah ada sejak 50 tahun yang lalu. Ketika itu, Hotel Panghegar menjadi salah satu hotel yang popular. Seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, banyal hotel baru didirikan, dan tentu saja dengan menggunakan konsep yang berbeda dengan hotel yang lainnya. Tujuannya hanya satu, yaitu menjadi pemimpin di bidangnya bisnisnya. Pada awal 2008, MarkPlus Insight mengadakan sebuah observasi tentang kesadaran merek terhadap hotel-hotel di Bandung. Anehnya dari hasil yang didapat, kesadaran masyarakat terhadap Hotel Panghegar cukup rendah. Para responden lebih mengenal Hotel Hyatt atau Hotel Sheraton yang merupakan hotel baru jika dibandingkan dengan Hotel Panghegar. Melihat dari situasi tersebut, manajemen Hotel Panghegar memutuskan untuk mengadakan perubahan merek. Mereka mengubah namaya menjadi Grand Royal Panghegar. Mereka juga merenovasi bangunan hotel dan membuatnya menjadi lebih besar. Mereka memperluas bisnis mereka, sehingga Grand Royal Panghegar tidak hanya memiliki hotel saja tetapi juga memiliki apartemen, kondominium hotel, dan pusat konvensi. Selain itu, hotel akan menggunakan konsep “green building” untuk bangunannya. Melihat dari apa yang sedang terjadi, makalah ini dibuat untuk mengukur kesadaran merek terhadap Grand Royal Panghegar. Observasi akan dilakukan kepada travel agen di Jakarta dan masyarakat Bandung. Travel agen dipilih sebagai responden karena salah satu partner dari hotel adalah travel agen, sedangkan masyarakt Bandung dipilih karena lokasi dari Grand Royal Panghegar adalah di Bandung. Observasi akan dilakukan melalu wawancara terhadap travel agen dan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada masyarakat Bandung. Dari hasil yang didapat, dapat dilihat bahwa kesadaran merek para travel agen dan masyarakat Bandung terbilang masih rendah. Kebanyakan travel agen tidak tahu dengan perubahan merek dan mereka masih bingung dalam membedakan antara Hotel Panghegar dan Grand Preanger. Untuk masyarakat, hanya beberapa dari mereka yang mengetahui tentang perubahan itu. Namun, tidak semuanya mengetahui unsur merek dari Grand Royal Panghegar. terdapat pula tiga segmentasi untuk Grand Royal Panghegar, seperti segmen kuat, segmen lemah, dan segmen yang masih perlu diperkuat. Masing-masing segmen menunjukkan tingkat kesadaran masyarakat. Saran untuk Grand Royal Panghegar adalah Grand Royal Panghegar harus memperluas jaringan kerjasama dengan travel agen. Hal ini dikarenakan travel agen dapat menjadi salah satu alat dalam mempromosikan produk hotel. untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang Grand Royal Panghegar, para manajemen hotel dapat menggunakan below the line dan above the line promosi. Hal ini tergantung dari target market hotel itu sendiri. Untuk masyarakat yang mempunyai kesdaran tinggi, manajemen dapat memberikan mereka sebuah kartu anggota. Namun, untuk masyarakat yang memiliki kesadaran rendah, manajemen dapat bergabung dalam pameran pariwisata. Dari pameran itu, manajemen dapat membagi pengetahuan tentang Grand Royal Panghegar kepada para pelanggan. Kata kunci: merek, kesadaran merek, perubahan merek, unsur merek
