USING SOCIAL MEDIA WALLS IN HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM

Hotels, restaurants, local tourist offices, agencies, travel portals and local attractions use social media walls to collect amazing content and expand their reach. Here’s how you, too, can benefit from a social media wall.

Social Media in Hospitality and Tourism Benefit #1

GAIN INFLUENTIAL BRAND AMBASSADORS

Encourage your customers to use your official hashtag and post on social media about how amazing staying at your hotel or dining at your restaurant was. People enjoy sharing special moments on social media, and that is powerful authentic content that you can then use in your marketing.

Social Media in Hospitality and Tourism Benefit #2

BOOST CONVERSIONS BY ADDING AUTHENTIC UGC TO YOUR WEBSITE

Before booking a trip, hotel or restaurant, people look at what previous visitors have had to say. Having a social wall displaying authentic content posted on social media by your customers will help people decide to book with you and will boost your conversions.

Social Media in Hospitality and Tourism Benefit #3

ENGAGE CUSTOMERS AND ENHANCE THEIR EXPERIENCE

Make your customers’ experience even better by providing tips for day trips, daily menus, local attractions, recommending local businesses and sharing other local advice pertinent to your guests on your social media wall.

Social Media in Hospitality and Tourism Benefit #4

INCREASE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA REACH WITH HASHTAG CAMPAIGNS

Create a one-off hashtag campaign and offer incentives, like a raffle for a free weekend at your hotel or a voucher for a meal. Campaigns like that are excellent for introducing your hotel to new potential guests and get people to return.

Social Media in Hospitality and Tourism Benefit #5

MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO COME BACK

Returning customers are even better than new customers. To get customers to return, as well as engage more with your business on social media, create an ongoing hashtag campaign. You could run a competition for the best photo of the month, with a free weekend, a trip or a delicious dinner as the coveted reward.

Social Media in Hospitality and Tourism Benefit #6

GENERATE REVENUE BY DISPLAYING SPONSORED POSTS

A social wall can also help you generate revenue by displaying sponsored ads. If you display the social media wall on a big screen in a prominent place, you can sell advertising spots to local businesses and show their ads or a simple logo on your social wall to alert guests to things they can do locally.

Social media is a powerful marketing tool for tourism

Hospitality and tourism marketing isn’t the one-sided method it used to be, where it’s all about telling everyone how great we are. Nowadays, travellers are more than ever relying on word of mouth. In response, the tourism and hospitality industry is turning to social media to promote its services and to engage people in a more personal way. (Source: MDG)
