The Convergence of Revenue Management and Digital Marketing -It's no longer just talk
In most organizations, revenue management and marketing still exist as two separate departments with separate
reporting structures, technology systems, data sources, goals, and incentives. We identify the opportunities to
integrate revenue management and marketing decisions to optimize returns in real, actionable methods. Not in
the hypothetical, but in the practical world of now. First, we want to bring you up to speed as to what is really
happening in the world of digital marketing as it impacts hospitality. Then how it affects your world and
specifically your property.
Today’s marketing field is a different beast that requires much more than a designer’s eye for sensible color
schemes and good feeling ads always offering offers and discounts; it requires a skill set that is analytics-based
and ROI-driven. Sound like anyone you know?
11. Let’s Start From The Beginning….
Sales Revenue Marketing
What are we trying to do
12. In an American Express survey commissioned last
year, consumers illustrated their demand for more
enriched lives and personal fulfilment through
experience and learning. Over 72 per cent of
respondents said they would rather spend money
on experiences than things. Further, 88 per cent
said travel is the number one dream on their life’s
bucket list, ranking higher than family or wealth.

21. Sales Revenue Marketing
Attribution and Socials Real Value
Path Analysis Report for a Non-Branded hotel
client.
Of all conversions where Social was a part of the
discovery process by the consumer, 75% involved
other channel touchpoints (social probably
doesn’t get enough credit for driving bookings
that they do).
Organic Search (and to a lesser degree Paid
Search) were integral parts of that journey.
Again, another reason why a unified content
strategy will provide these people with a better
user experience that will improve engagement
and bookings – and through that should improve
rankings.
Social Engagement Does Not Occur In A Bubble

24. Sales Revenue Marketing
Value is more than just the one effort
Giving content a more permanent home on an independent site page or brand.com or
on blog (or YouTube) means that the content can continue to provide engagement long
after the initial post.
Admittedly a challenge to find the best content formats to do this with Brand sites.
