How Yours Truly used automation to grow guest loyalty and save time

MARKETING

Yours Truly was looking for a way to free the team’s time while still personalising the guest experience. After they implemented Bookboost’s Multi-Channel CRM, a lot of time was saved by automating the guest journey, and they created hyper-segmented audiences to better personalise guest experiences. Now, the guests are more loyal and the team gets more work done in less time.

Why it matters: Automation is the key to offering hyper-personalised guest experiences while allowing hotel staff to optimise their workload. Yours Truly is a perfect example of how to utilise automation to increase team efficiency and improve guest satisfaction.

First, they streamlined many touch points across the entire guest journey, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all guest touch points. They were able to save one to two hours per day because the team didn’t have to manually send out messages or save guests' contacts and details. Second, they used different tokens and templates to personalise messages. It allowed the team to customise the message however they wanted with real-time guest data. Lastly, they used Unified Inbox to bundle all messages in one place. Now, they’re able to check all incoming messages in the same overview, without the need to log into different platforms every day.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The main challenge for the team at Yours Truly was to save time while still providing a fully personalised experience to each guest.

More effective guest communication: The team spent a lot of time each day manually contacting guests, including confirmation emails, pre-stay emails, and WhatsApp messages, and they had to create all of them from scratch. Therefore, they wanted to streamline their communication and free the team from repetitive tasks.
Create a VIP journey: They were looking for ways to reach as many guests as possible, and customise their guest journeys, especially for returning visitors, all while keeping things efficient for the team.
Segment guests and personalisation: They wanted to create highly targeted guest segments, so they could craft messages that resonate with each guest's unique needs and preferences.
