You can send your guests beautifully designed emails and websites without much effort. Once you have set them up, you save a lot of time. Since the data is transferred automatically, you don't have to check as much (did I transfer the right price, did I spell the name correctly, etc.).

Expert Q&A and Partner Recommendations

Submit Recommendation
Question:

What does this product or service do well?

Answer:

Smart Host does the groundwork of guest communication well: one central guest profile, built from your PMS data plus pre-stay and post-stay surveys, so booking history, preferences and interests sit in one place. In daily work that means the pre-arrival email tells your team about the extra pillow or the late check-in before the guest walks in, and after the stay you hear about a problem before it reaches a review portal, while happy guests get invited to leave a public review.

Question:

What differentiates this product or service from the competition?

Answer:

What sets Smart Host apart is that the guest knowledge it collects doesn’t stay locked in the CRM. Picture a regular who mentioned in her pre-stay survey that she loves spa weekends. With that profile flowing into Triptease Audiences, she sees a matching offer when she returns to your website, your campaign reaches her across channels, and the Smart Host offer manager lets her accept and book in minutes, with the whole conversation bundled in one place.

Question:

Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?

Answer:

Fill the guest profile from day one. Switch on the pre-arrival email and the post-stay survey in your first week, because the segmentation and the AI campaign suggestions only get sharp once they have real preferences and stay behaviour to work with. And lean on your personal success manager early. You won’t need IT for the setup, but a second pair of eyes on your first segments and newsletters saves you weeks of trial and error.
