What Makes Hotel eMarketing Different?
Industry Expertise – Our focus on the hospitality industry has given us specialized knowledge of the online travel space, which translates into expertise that can help you maximize the marketing power of your website.
Online Research – Our online marketing plans are based on a proprietary process we call
RADAR: Research, Analyze, Decide, Act and Re-Act. By starting this process with research, we get a better understanding of how your customers search the Web and which websites they encounter along the way.

Using this knowledge, we can create an intelligent,

customized Internet marketing plan that will give you a distinct competitive advantage in your geographic market.
Conversion – Unlike most marketing firms that focus on “cool” design or flashy websites, we have taken online marketing to the next level by focusing on the most important function of your website - converting “lookers into bookers”. Our team of experts will work with you to make sure that your site is designed for the end user and will maximize conversion.
Return on Investment – The goal of marketing is to communicate a message to a specific target market, persuade that market to take action and do so in the most powerful and costeffective manner possible. Hotel eMarketing can assist you in selecting the right marketing mix for promoting your hotel online and help you maximize your ROI in the Web.
