How The Slate, a Phuket Pearl Resort, Drove Revenue through Personalization in their Email Marketing

MARKETING

Travelers looking for the perfect Instagram photo can find it at The Slate, an avant-garde resort on the island of Phuket, located in southern Thailand. The hotel blends rich culture and traditions with bold design and fearless imagination to create a five-star experience unlike any other. The hotel successfully uses email marketing to help them drive revenue. Like all island destinations, Covid-19 had a huge impact on business. With borders closed and tourists forced to stay home, The Slate could only service its Thai clientele. In November of 2021, Thailand opened its borders and other countries began allowing their citizens to travel again. The Slate was prepared. The marketing team closely monitored flight availability and country restrictions and leveraged Revinate Marketing, email marketing software, to target specific travelers, based on their market.

Why it matters: Prior to Revinate Marketing, isolating travelers from certain countries and sending them highly personalized campaigns would’ve been a manual effort that took days to launch. But, with Revinate Marketing, it is a simple exercise.

Claude Sauter, General Manager at The Slate says, “Revinate Marketing makes it really easy for my team to react quickly to market demands. It’s intuitive and easy to use. We can go from idea to launch in less than an hour.”

Top 3 Core Objectives: Capture direct bookings following Covid-19 shutdown

Target specific markets: The Slate created direct-only package for specific markets when restrictions were lifted.
Boost direct bookings: The Slate received more than 500 room nights from highly-segmented and market-specific campaign.
Improve online reputation: The Slate’s TripAdvisor ranking was 105 out of 1208 hotels in Phuket. Today, it is 56, a 47% improvement.
