5 Effective Ways to Get More Friends, Followers, and Fans Online
So you’re interested in building substantial web presence on the internet, now the question is, what strategies will make it possible? There are actually so many ways to promote a website over the internet. Selecting the right strategy is a different matter.
Beyond search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) promotions, building a large following through social networking sites can encourage loyalty. Gaining customers in the hospitality industry doesn’t usually work when someone visits your site for one time; it is about gaining their trust and confidence. This is a good way to increase hotel sales and boost profitability.
Some of the strategies you can implement to increase RevPAR include:
Start with Individuals Who Already Know Your Company – try adding a Twitter or Facebook address on your company’s site and at the bottom of your email signature. Readers will be encouraged to sign up. And once they do, this is a chance for you to strengthen your relationship with them and improve hotel revenue.
Build a Social Hub – be sure to include a social hub webpage on your site. This can be the “About Us” section, just include options such as “Send to Friend”, follow, and become a fan options. This will enable them to be aware of new developments on the site as well as share your business to others.
Invite People – pepper your website with invitations for people to become your friend, follower, or fan. Once they accept your invite, they will receive notifications every time new developments are posted on your site.
Interlink Your Social Web – this is an incredibly helpful technique. If you already have thousands of “friends” in Facebook, place your Twitter links to your page as well. These will help you build a loyal fan base that is updated about your current promotions and hotel revenue management strategies.
Give People a Reason to Join – because social media has been abused by many users, it is inevitable for individuals to be wary of signing up or joining the social network of a company. Make sure you give them something to join whether it’s great content, cool offers, or discounts.
Try to implement the above-mentioned techniques and watch your hotel profits shoot up.
