"From an internal point of view, it's really powerful. I mean we use it to inform our refurbishment programme, we understand by room type where the biggest issues are in certain bedrooms so we can focus our maintenance teams and our refurbishment you know into those specific areas, you know so we can add value in so many different ways as well as making ongoing operational improvements to standards and procedures to make sure that we get it right every single time so if you don't use it, then I would definitely say that you're missing out."

CEO David Scott said, about their decision: "I guess what I probably didn't understand at the beginning was actually how well, as agencies, they [GuestRevu and For-Sight] would work together. And it's probably that collaboration that's given the real power in the data and information that we have, because they have really championed and driven that forward, without me really having to get involved and drive that."
Implementing GuestRevu led to a substantial upsurge in direct bookings, largely attributed to successful guest segmentation and personalised marketing approaches.
Leveraging the data gathered, The Hotel Folk refined their understanding of guest preferences, enabling tailored and more effective marketing communications for distinct guest segments.
Through the power of data, The Hotel Folk achieved greater engagement by crafting highly personalised marketing messages, catering to the diverse needs of both new and loyal guests, resulting in increased relevance and value for each guest's experience.
