What we have deliveredImmediate response, agile marketing

Current Campaign Case Study

Agreed Action Implementation Result

Agreed actionEstablish and develop a ‘brand proposition website’ initially for the UK and Irish markets, but positioned to expand subsequently into France, Germany, Scandinavia and Russia.

ImplementationTo develop an effective web proposition with an appropriate luxury feel, in-keeping with the hotel’s own ‘look and feel’. Use proven and reliable fulfillment processes to provide immediate sales delivery focused on ‘least-sold stock’.

ResultPress interest, trade engagement following from consumer demand. Real time - instant and long term benefits and developed brand awareness within the first year. Delivering volume sales independently from traditional trade routes whilst increasing demand from those traditional routes as a result of enhanced brand awareness in the target marketplace.

Business issueDifficult European economic conditions, rates pressure from traditional routes to market, consumer budgets squeezed, inability to directly address chosen markets cost effectively.

What we have deliveredThe power of social media

Active Social Media Management delivers high levels of client interaction – including in resort

“We are very pleased having the chance to cooperate with ‘Your Hotel Integration’, a very dynamic and innovative Tour Operator” Sotiris Manolitsas, General Manager, Pilot Beach Resort

What we have deliveredWhat our partners say

“‘Your Hotel Integration’ has been a strategic partner for our hotel group during the past four years.  Our relationship is built on mutual trust and interest and we plan to continue our partnership in the years to follow.”Manos Vatzolas, Sales & Marketing Manager, Domes of Elounda Resort

“In ‘Your Hotel Integration’ we have found a young, professional, reliable, dynamic and proactive team which has helped us to market our product through new channels in the important UK & Ireland markets.  We are really glad we met these guys.” Nicolás Villalobos, General Manager, Cordial Canarias Hotels & Resorts

“Sani Resort has worked with Your Hotel Integration for over 5 years now and they have been providing us with technology and mainly commercial, marketing and fulfillment services. We started a conservative cooperation at first and then saw it grow by 900% and becoming what it is today: 35% of our UK Market production.

The UK, being the biggest market in a resort that already enjoys 96% occupancy and high rates is a big responsibility and they are handling this very responsibly and efficiently. Their team and therefore services are consisted of knowledgeable and dynamic individuals that have always been capable of handling all challenges that our dynamic market poses.

We are quite a demanding partner as well and our long experience in the tourism industry would have it no other way”. Antonis Avdelas, Director of Sales & Marketing, Sani Resort

What you must do for usYour commitment to Your Hotel Integration

Contract with Your Hotel Integration at your “best” tour operator rates. We don’t ask for better rates than

your other partners but need to ensure our holiday prices are competitive.

Mandate a minimum agreed “mark up” across all partners and police agreements fully and effectively

Access to occasional and/or exclusive offers. Your Hotel Integration works with you to generate targeted

sales at key periods and preferential deals from time to time are both very effective and support our extensive

marketing activities – example offers include early booking offers/spa treatments included/room upgrades/ board

upgrades.

Minimum 3 year marketing agreement – all source markets

Allocate a senior manager (with decision making authority) as the key contact with Your Hotel Integration –

our experience is that regular communication and developing a strong mutual relationship pays dividends

Support sales team product training. The better our sales teams know the property and the product, the

easier it is to convert sales. Product training can be carried out by UK representation, face to face sessions with

hotel teams, conference call or resort visit.

any brand guidelines, colour references etc.
