The Tech you Never Knew you Would Need (Aspiring)

This session is for new owners who may not completely have their arms around their digital marketing reach.  We will go into detail on the impact of an inn's intellectual property, review systems, pay-per-click, OTAs, Social Media, and Reservation, PMS, Channel Management and Revenue Management processes.  We will answer the following questions: What type of marketing should I be investing in? What is not worth spending money on? How do I know if I am getting an appropriate return on my marketing dollars invested? This session is all about "Knowing what you don't know!"

Google Marketing, Website, Baby Steps (Aspiring)

This session is designed to present a basic overview for Aspiring Innkeepers who wish to understand more about their future online presence, the role of Google, the OTA's and the difference between direct and non-direct bookings. By the end of this session, you will have a basic grasp on the various marketing tasks that will need to be addressed on a continuous basis once you close on your property.

Gaze into the Google Crystal Ball and See Your Future

Do you know how many bookings you are receiving from Google? Are they FREE, coming from your Organic Website Listings? Or your GMB Listing in the Knowledge Panel, Google Travel, or 4-Pack? Or maybe they are PAID bookings coming from Google Hotel Ads or Google Ads? -- And NO! they are not the same thing! -- Or possibly even from TripAdvisor as a Google referral. Come gaze into your Inn's Crystal Ball and see how Google changes have affected your bottom line and what you can do about it into the future.
