Much of online marketing for hotels today is wrapped up in a race for visibility. If a potential customer sees you, the thinking goes, they're far more likely to book with you. Fortunately, social media offers a number of ways to get yourself in front of customers. It simply takes some knowhow and a bit of trial and error. Well, we have the knowhow covered below, so give it a read and get to work figuring out what works best for your hotel. 

We’re offering a “Demand Management” online course through Coursera, in partnership with ESSEC business school and Duetto. The course offers a deep look at Asset Management, Demand Generation, Online Marketing, and Revenue Management- each segment lead by industry experts.

It’s a trendy catch phrase that marketing people throw around to show they’re onto something. The beauty of this term is that it’s so broad, so elusive and so hard to fathom that most people don’t even try.
