Well we at Vibes have accumulated 5 relevant tips to help you stay afloat and keep the business sustainable in these trying times.

Focus on Future

Hotels are shut but it’s not only the current scenario to worry about but also post pandemic reluctancy in customers to visit a hotel

Hence our focus should be on laying an excellent digital strategy in place to connect, engage and convert fans into long term customers.

 No stop to SEO activities

SEO is not a sprint to run and win in one go but a marathon like journey where we must constantly remain on the top of our rankings. Stalling SEO activities for the time being will surely be a roadblock in continuous efforts that the team has already put in. It shall stall growth in google rankings and in most probable case, it will downgrade our ranking on google due to inactivity.

Focus on community building

If you can’t sell your rooms right now, focus on building a community or a fan base for your property. In this lockdown situation when everybody is glued to their phones and laptops, there can’t be a better timing to get maximum audience reach. Though getting rooms booked is of utmost priority still but now is the time to engage your audience, customers, fans through digital mediums and let them know about how unique, cozy and comfortable your property is.

Stick only to priority paid campaigns

Just because everybody is spending maximum time of their day on the internet doesn’t mean bombarding them with ads. Just stick to the campaigns which are necessary and important to complete as per the business need.

Adjust your hotel’s offerings and accommodate new consumer needs

Be flexible and creative with your offerings to attract maximum people to your hotel post lockdown. Do live chat to engage with your audience, show around your beautiful resort and various amenities up on offer. Bring in long term vouchers, new booking policies and offers to accommodate maximum queries for post lockdown scenario.

Communicate with your employees
