How Ruby Hotels Dramatically Increased Campaign Conversion Through Multi-Channel Messaging

MARKETING

Ruby Hotels has a portfolio of boutique properties throughout Europe and is constantly looking to drive innovation through process improvements. After trying to roll out several guest facing initiatives and noticing low conversion rates over email, the team decided to leverage Bookboost's multi-channel CRM to deliver more personalized messaging to guests across more engaging channels like SMS.

Why it matters: Modern hotel companies are sitting on mounds of customer data that typically go unused. By connecting this data to a multi-channel CRM, hotels gain the ability to create well defined customer journeys that automate manual workflows, deliver more personalized messaging and dramatically bolster engagement and revenue opportunities.

Bookboost's Multi-channel CRM enabled Ruby Hotel's to create a value add guest journey with personalized communications that reach guests across a variety of channels including email, SMS, Facebook and WhatsApp to deliver personalized pre, during and post stay communications.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Ruby Hotels set out to more effectively connect with guests and provide a differentiated guest experience by leveraging a multi-channel CRM:

Increase Conversion Rates: With emails typically achieving low open rates, they sought out a means to communicate with guests on more engaging channels.
Improve Personalization: They wanted to build a more personal and close relationship with the guests, by adding value to the communications.
More Effective Data Usage: They aimed to make the best use of their guest data to find new ways of reaching out to their guests with better results.

The review at check-out SMS message improved ratings by 8 – 11%, securing an average score of 4.7 compared to 4.4.
