Preguntas frecuentes
What should I include in post-stay thank-you emails?
Thank guests for choosing your hotel and mention something specific about their stay (room number, length of stay, amenities used). Request a review on TripAdvisor or Google (include direct links). Offer a small incentive like 10% discount on next stay for review completion. Include your contact info if they experienced problems. Warm, personal thank-yous drive reviews and loyalty.
When should I send post-stay review requests?
Send within 24 hours of checkout while experience is fresh. Follow up 3 days later if they haven't submitted a review (softer ask). Don't pester after 2 follow-ups. Make reviews easy with direct links to review platforms. Guest reviews are critical for OTA rankings and direct bookings, making review requests one of your most important emails.
What seasonal promotions work best for hotels?
Promote romance packages for Valentine's and anniversaries. Offer family packages during school holidays. Highlight outdoor activities during peak season. Promote wine tours or festivals happening near your hotel. Send last-minute deals on unsold inventory. Seasonal content that ties to actual guest interests and local attractions drives bookings.
How can I build a successful loyalty program via email?
Offer free room nights after X paid stays (10-night free, for example). Provide early booking discounts for loyalty members. Offer room upgrades automatically for frequent guests. Send birthday or anniversary stay promotions to loyalty members. Communicate benefits clearly and regularly celebrate their loyalty status. Loyalty programs drive repeat bookings and higher customer lifetime value.
What should I include in pre-arrival emails?
Confirm booking details: dates, room type, rate, total cost. Include check-in time and instructions. Describe room amenities and hotel facilities. Highlight dining options and restaurants. Share information about local attractions. Include parking information and directions. Pre-arrival information builds excitement and ensures smooth check-ins with fewer questions.
How do I segment my email list for hotels?
Segment by visit frequency: frequent guests get different treatment than occasional visitors. Segment by room type: suite guests are different from budget room guests. Segment by booking source: direct bookers should get different incentives than OTA bookings (encourage direct booking). Segment by guest type: couples, families, business travelers. Personalization drives engagement.
