A good coupon marketing tactic for hotels is extremely relevant in online marketing. The coupon marketing is a subarea of digital marketing that specifically involves the creation and distribution of coupons and should be a part of a holistic marketing strategy. A well-thought-out coupon marketing tactic can, for example, help to attract new guests to the hotel, retain existing guests and improve occupancy rates during weak booking periods.

Features of a Coupon Marketing Tactic for Hotels

An effective coupon marketing tactic for hotels starts with the definition of clear goals: hotels should define, whether they want to attract new guests, retain existing guest and/or promote specific services, for example. The coupon marketing tactic can also be directed to a specific target group.

Efficient coupon marketing then also requires creativity and diversity in the development and design of the respective content - online and offline. Various kinds of coupons, for example product coupons or treatment coupons, can then be created for various experiences. Therefore, it is important, to make the coupons visually appealing for the recipient.

The Most Important Question About Coupon Marketing Tactics for Hotels:

How can hotels ensure that their coupon marketing tactic is successful?

Hotels should define clear goals in advance as part of their coupon marketing. The efficient use of the coupons, for example as incentive to collect new contact data or the integration into a newsletter, as well as a clean administration of the vouchers are also decisive for the success and efficiency of the coupon marketing.

What are the most common mistakes, and how can they be avoided?

Unfavorable conditions for efficient coupon marketing are a lack of objectives in your own strategy, no wide-ranging payment terms or insufficient management of the coupons. These can be avoided by managing the coupons properly in the background. Furthermore, flexible payment options should be provided and clear objectives set.
