Hoteliers often highlight that the automation capabilities of Smart Host Messaging could be improved, particularly for streamlining processes. They suggest enhancements such as automatically feeding back information from newsletter unsubscribes or selected 'motifs' into the hotel program to ensure data is up-to-date across systems. Currently, there is a limitation of a one-way interface, which prevents full automation and requires manual updates that could otherwise be automated to reduce errors and enhance efficiency.

In terms of reliability, the software is recognized for consistent and dependable email delivery, which includes spam filters and blacklists to ensure high deliverability.

Hoteliers often mention Smart Host Messaging's user interface as having room for improvement in several areas. Ease of navigation is highlighted, with users suggesting that menus and features should be organized more intuitively to support quick access and operation. Visual design is another concern, as hoteliers express a desire for a more modern and appealing aesthetic. The responsiveness of the interface is also noted, with some users pointing out that interactions can occasionally feel sluggish. Additionally, there is feedback on the limited customizability, with hoteliers requesting more options to personalize dashboards, widgets, and settings for better alignment with individual or brand needs. Clarity of information is frequently mentioned, as hoteliers seek clearer presentation of data, graphs, and key details to improve decision-making. Usability is a recurring topic, indicating that some first-time users find the interface challenging and would benefit from onboarding or additional training support. Lastly, mobile compatibility is occasionally raised, with requests for more effective functionality on mobile devices to ensure smooth operation when hoteliers are on the go.

... It would be great if we could see in the statistics which links were clicked how often. That would really help us to make the campaigns even better in terms of content. It would also save time if you could decide straight away when activating a campaign whether you want to activate it or save it as "in progress". Then you don't always have to change it afterwards. Another time-saving little thing: when sending a test newsletter, you always have to enter the entire desired ...

"We have been working with Smart Host for some time now and are extremely happy that we chose the system. This was the best decision. Our newsletters all look top "styled" and do little work. It simplifies a lot. The filtering works fantastic and is super useful for many other things as well. We would recommend it to anyone."
"We use Smart Host for newsletter distribution, which we control according to target groups. Super simple! So the guest gets the information he is interested in."
"The planning of the newsletters is really very well organized and a very big help for us. In general, we find that SmartHost approaches their customers and takes care of them very well."
"We started with the campaign module years ago. It is so clear and simple that an extension to the offer manager was only logical. I would especially like to emphasize the extremely nice AND competent team around Julian Leitner. I can only recommend Smart Host across the board."
"This is exactly how a newsletter program should be! Super easy to use - clear & logical. The selection is suggested by an algorithm and works flawlessly, so Smart Host relieves us of the most difficult part of sending newsletters. The interface to our hotel program allows transparency and the success is easily measurable. In addition, the customer service is very helpful! All questions and concerns are quickly addressed. In short - our expectations were exceeded!"
"Smart Host has really grown on us. This tool enables us to make our day-to-day work much easier with the offer manager. Newsletters alone were old fashioned, now it's the Smart Host campaigns that help us pick up the guest where their interest lies and give us an overview of what success the campaign is having in the first place."
"For our hotel, Smart Host is an optimal relief for our employees in terms of correspondence with guests. In addition, a super contemporary sales tool for newsletter planning and design."
"The arrival mailing is very good, because the guests can easily announce their wishes. For every change, the team is with the utmost care and fast implementation on my side. The review page is also top. If someone was not so happy, we can react immediately and the guest does not post it immediately on all online platforms. In times of Holiday Check and Co. a great advantage! I can only recommend the system."
"The newsletter planning is really a great tool with which you can advertise at the right time for the right period. You can send a lot of newsletters without being a annoyance, because the filtering works great and there is never a risk that guests get something twice or worse get a newsletter with a better price than the one they already have."
"I have rarely experienced such friendly and competent support. Easy and understandable handling of the product. Everything is set up in such a way that you can use it without a lot of prior knowledge. You can send targeted newsletters and we have received an enormous increase in additional sales by sending pre-stay mails and learn a lot about our guests in advance, e.g. why the guest books with us. For us, this means that we can also provide the guest with specific information about his or her interests in advance."
