Global Hotel Chain 

Objective

At 1SmartMedia, we strive to offer tailored solutions to intricate marketing challenges to attain specific objectives. In this particular case, our aim was to use social media to expand the audience, enhance brand recognition, and boost conversion rates, leading to increased sales.

Approach

To address the Hotels brand’s low sales, the initial step was identifying the reasons for poor conversions. Once the issues were thoroughly comprehended, an effective strategy was developed to tackle the challenges.

Our approach centred on four steps

1. Our focus was on developing a cohesive strategy to achieve the ultimate objective – boosting website sales and generating online room bookings.
2. We made sure 1SmartMedia’s digital experts were readily available to assist with consulting and skills training.
3. We utilized Facebook and Instagram sales and automated processes through their partner software for campaign continuity
4. We implemented a dual-phase strategy to enhance hotel reservations.

A strategy consisting of two phases.

At 1SmartMedia, we adopt a two-phase approach where each channel complements the other. This mutually supportive approach increases reach and guides the target audience through the funnel, ultimately leading to successful conversions.

Phase 1: Awareness

The first phase of the strategy emphasised on three main points:

1. Generating awareness about the brand, its various incentives, and offers through Reach and Engagement campaigns.
2. Using suitable creatives with content that grabs attention.
3. Identifying the visitors who engage with the content or visit the website.

Phase 2- Hotel Bookings Sales (Conversions)

The second phase had one basic objective:Focusing on maximizing conversions with specific lower funnel bidding strategies and utilizing custom as well as lookalike audiences from phase 1 activity.
