Our Hotel Digital Marketing Guide

We view a hotel as a living entity - a place made for people to enjoy themselves and create memories and experiences. That's what differentiates hotels from Airbnb. Your digital marketing should reflect that. 

There is no better medium to convey a feeling of being in a hotel better than video, audio, and images. 

Digital marketing for hotels consists of traditional channels like SEO, PPC, Social media, email marketing. Every other business uses these channels in their digital marketing, so what's different for hotels? 

The difference is in choosing which online channels to prioritize and what content to show to potential guests. 

We have listed the top digital marketing channels for hotels  below:

What to focus on

Social media consists of organic and paid content. Posting often and posting interactive content is essential for organic reach, but we all know paid ads on social media often get you even more.

To be successful with social media for hotels, you need to make a strategy – a content calendar for the next six months, one year.

1. Social Media for Hotels

In our experience, social media has become the best and most underrated channel hotels should use. If you think about it - what a hotel represents and what it's trying to achieve: storytelling and experiences.

There is no better channel to visualize what the hotel is about than with social media. Instagram is the most important social media platform for hotels right now. Many hotels don't have time or enough creativity to use social media for storytelling. Often, hotels don't have a dedicated person who handles social media networks, so they assign it to the person within the hotel. That's why we strongly suggest hiring our social media for hotels consultants.
