The Brief
Since partnering with the Pembroke Hotel in January 2015 our brief has always been to help drive more direct business through the property’s own website, help fill the gaps on the midweek nights and drive RevPAR.
The Process
On an ongoing basis, we meet the team within the hotel to analyse their market segmentation and adopt a strategy for each segment, always with the brief in mind.
On a weekly basis, we review future revenue on the books, and the pace of the pickup. We then benchmark business on the books against the budget, last year’s performance and the forecast.
In consultancy with the hotel, we can then adapt the strategy quickly to ensure we are achieving the best results at all times.
This property also uses the services of our in-house digital marketing team Sprint Digital, with both divisions located together in our Dublin Office, it means that we can have regular conference calls with the hotel and implement strategies immediately to maximise results.
