Any communication that takes place via digital channels is called online communication.
What is online communication for hotels?
When it comes to hotel communication with (potential) guests, many communication channels are served with the help of online marketing. Hotels reach (potential) guests through tools such as
- the hotel's own website
- Social media channels (hotel social media marketing)
- emails (hotel newsletter marketing)
- Search engine advertising (Search Engine Marketing - SEM)
- Optimisation of the hotel's online presence in search engines (Hotel Search Engine Optimisation - SEO)
- Reputation Management.
Online communication: Push vs. pull
A distinction is made between the push and the pull approach. In the former, the hotel actively places messages, while in the latter, the user is interested in the hotel and consumes content out of his or her own interest.
