Hoteliers have largely figured the core marketing channels to maximize from PPC and metasearch, to OTAs, email, and SEO. Obviously the website is the foundation of online bookings.
However, hoteliers typically have avoided what is quickly becoming a top source for both brand and direct bookings… influencer marketing. Why? Well, as one of our clients (John) puts it, “Influencers don’t deliver. They talk a big game but no results.”
Today, we’re going to dissect why John feels this way and with Nick’s help, we’ll explore:
- How influencer marketing actually works for independent hotels
- Why most campaigns flop
- And three things you can do today to turn influencer marketing into a direct booking machine
