Understanding Social Media Advertising (SMA)
Social Media Advertising (SMA) encompasses all advertising efforts that use popular social platforms on the web, such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, TikTok, or YouTube, as advertising channels.
Benefits of Social Media Advertising
The comparatively high level of user activity and the ability to precisely segment and target audiences make Social Media Advertising a particularly attractive advertising tool. Through Social Media Ads, advertising messages can be delivered to a broad audience. Compared to traditional methods such as print advertising, Facebook Hotel Ads, Instagram Hotel Ads or Hotel TikTok Ads are relatively inexpensive.
Goals of Social Media Advertising for Hotels
This wide diversification leads to numerous strategies and objectives that can be pursued through social media advertising. For example
- Generate inquiries and bookings
- Alerting existing guests to special promotions and offers
- Making initial contact with potential new customers and guests
- Leveraging reach to increase brand awareness and strengthen the hotel brand
- Recruit staff for the hotel
- Promote the sale of ancillary services or products
- Successful marketing strategy for attracting new guests
- Insights from the TikTok campaign at Feuerstein Resort

Frequently Asked Questions About Social Media Advertising:
Auf welchen Social Media Kanälen sollen Hotels Anzeigen schalten?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this common question about the 'right' channel. Every hotel has a different target audience, which will be present on different channels. An agency that specializes in online hotel marketing can help with the selection, implementation and analysis of social media advertising.
How much does it cost to advertise on Facebook, Instagram or TikTok?
The advantage of social media advertising is good cost control: similar to search engine advertising, it works on a 'pay for success' basis. These methods are called cost per click, pay per click or cost per impression. Thanks to a self-defined maximum amount, you always have a good overview of the costs: once this amount is reached, the ads are no longer displayed.
