REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Meininger Hotels joins the Oaky family

Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, MEININGER Hotels brings together the best of hostels and hotels. With the many lively spaces available at their properties, Oaky brings opportunities to enhance the stay for each type of guest, whether it's a student, a family, a solo traveller or even a business guest.

Why it matters: Oaky uses engaging, modern guest communication to promote targeted, personalised offers and increase the value of every booking. MEININGER can automate this process via Oaky and offer all guests the chance to customise their stay with ancillary products and services before their trip.

This way travellers have the best experience possible and the hotels can effortlessly boost their average spend per guest.

Top 3 Core Objectives: MEININGER wanted to expand the reach of their upselling efforts while being able to offer and set up personalised deals with ease.

Broaden reach: One of the reasons MEININGER chose to implement an automated upselling solution was to start reaching more people with upselling and cross-selling offers.
Highly personalised offers: The objective was to ensure a reliable stream of creative deals and ideas, adaptable for various locations to serve a diverse range of segmented upselling opportunities. Since all of their properties are unique, being able to offer different deals at each hotel was especially important.
Ease of use: The aim was to onboard a tool that is easy to use for both marketing, revenue and operational teams.
