Social Media for Hotels

Social Media for Hotels

 Social media is becoming an indispensable tool for the hotels, in order to socially interact with their existing and potential customers.  How a hotel interacts with its guest community in the social space can affect its marketability. Most hotels today are taking the advantage of the online social medium to enhance and support their marketing initiatives.  Social media marketing is one of the foremost essentials of  internet marketing efforts, second only to search engine optimization.

Almost all prominent hotels today have their presence on social hubs like Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter and YouTube.  It is impossible to ignore the social media and its importance in marketing and building post sales relationships with your customers in a casual friendly manner.  Being available socially gives a chance to your existing clientele to share experiences in form of text, photos, videos, on populist social sites, and also review your hotel on popular review sites like Trip Advisor and Lonely Planet.  This further gives a chance to potential clientele in their circles to view their reviews and experiences.  If the hotelier is an active participant in these discussions happening online, he can build great relationships with people and help the business grow exponentially.

What do Hotels need to do, in social media?

Though there is no strictly laid out rules, our social media experts from hospitality industry have come up with some suggestions that have helped them immensely.

Some of these suggestions are:

  • Update your social presence at least once or twice everyday,
