Take your chances as a hotelier and not offer personalized offerings?

Better think twice as a direct negative impact on performance is almost certain...

Avoid being buried deep-down the forgotten memory pile.

Not only do lacklustre experiences fail to drive revenue but who tells others about their stay if it was anything less than spectacular.

Here's how to avoid this:

First, understand the two nuances to the story of personalization, one being technology and the other being the human element.

Technology (mainly in the form of a good CRM/CRS/PMS system) will play an important role in both the ex*****on and control of rolling out personalized offerings in your hotel. Without it, the success rate is likely to suffer as your team can only follow so much going on at the same time.

Standing out from the crowd has always been a perpetual task demanding full attention of any hotelier, but has become even more apparent in the post Covid-19 era.
