Guest Caye Manages Your Entire Guest Lifecycle

Take control over the way online travelers experience your resort at every stage of contact. Guests come and go, but did you realize that your guests expect different communications from you at each stage of the purchase lifecycle? Consider how people just starting to shop for their travel destination are radically different than those that just checked out this morning. Both deserve your attention, but their information needs and your sales opportunity are totally different.

Understanding the Lifecycle of Resort Guests

• Web visits to travel portals, hotel websites, TripAdvisor, travel blogs and other resources
• Seeking deals, discounts and sales at resorts that meet their criteria
• Collect three or more possible choices and then wait
• Decision is made and hotel is booked online or by contact

• Expect email confirmation with all travel details correct sent immediately
• Expect helpful advice and links to more information about options and upgrades
• Open to purchase of add-on services including tours, transportation, meals, etc.
• Expect the ability to print out their reservations folio to take on their trip
• May have questions and other customer service needs.

• Thank you email with personal touch sent day after check out
• Follow up email a week later asking for online reviews, satisfaction survey and referrals
• Social media engagement for Facebook, Twitter and YouTube improve referral odds
• Ongoing contact via broadcast emails keep referrals coming and repeat visit bookings

Build Your Contacts Database Asset

Profit Now and Harvest Future Profits Later with GRM Database. The key to higher profit from your business is an increased occupancy rate. Many resorts show about a 42% average occupancy with some great months, but too many unprofitable months. The ups and downs of the hospitality industry are well documented, but smart operators like you can build their database of prospects, guests, and contacts to boost bookings and enjoy higher profitability.

At the heart of every Guest Caye account is a powerful Guest Relationship Management (GRM) system. It offers a database of all of your contacts, organized by multiple personal profile attributes, that lets you target different messages to different people while keeping track of results automatically. Email marketing enables you to send beautiful messages packed with information the people in your database want to learn. Guest Caye makes it super easy, and much of your email marketing program can be set up to run automatically.

Attract and Capture More Quality Leads

Automate your lead generation campaigns and reap the rewards of higher occupancy rates. The truth is the more people who consider your hotel, the more people will book your hotel. Guest Caye lets you easily build online promotions and campaigns that result in more travel leads captured than any other system you can find. We have developed easy-to-use “web widgets” that make capturing leads easy on your website and through online ads, and even Facebook promotions. Every lead captured is added to your database, and is instantly sent a custom-branded “Welcome” email containing links back to your online booking special offers and your website content.

Imagine converting just 5% more of your current web traffic to make a new reservation. How many additional room nights would just a 5% increase in traffic add to your bottom line? Guest Caye’s automated Lead Capture & Nurturing campaigns can do just that, according to your specifications. Now that’s advanced online marketing you can see working!

Start Your Guest’s Experience the Moment They Book

New technology booking engine delivers an experience your guests will rave about. A smooth online booking experience is a must with today’s security sensitive online shoppers. Guests want to book directly from your website, but they expect the experience to be similar to booking travel at a major travel portal or OTA.

• Everything needs to be crystal clear and obvious to your potential guests, so just a few simple steps result in a completed booking.
• Your new guest wants to receive a reservation confirmation with every detail correctly shown in the email.
• Your booked guests want to know more about their upcoming stay with you - this is the best time to sell the many added benefits you can add to their trip.

Guest Caye helps you plan and create your own Guest Welcome & Onboarding campaign using your beautiful images, descriptive copy, links to your website and quick forms or surveys that help your guests tell you want they want most. Once created and activated in your Guest Caye account, this program runs completely automatically so you can serve your guests info needs 24 hours a day.

Make Friends and Win Fans To Drive Profits

Word of mouth marketing is your most powerful weapon for growing your business. Do you realize that, for most small businesses, up to 70% of their sales come from “word of mouth” recommendations and referrals from current customers? Every guest that has stayed with you immediately becomes your best ambassador for future sales. People trust their friends and family’s opinions, and even unknown online reviewers more than they trust any other source of information about travel. Your business gains a huge advantage when hundreds of former guests are actively recommending you in conversations and social media networks, like Facebook, Twitter and TripAdvisor.

Guest Caye helps you ask past guests, contacts, and prospects to help spread the word about your unique property. Timely emails that incorporate easy-to-share content encourage people to tell other people about their experiences with your resort. Social media integrations allow you to add Facebook ShareThis, Twitter, and Forward to a Friend with few clicks. You can unleash the power of word of mouth and multiply your marketing reach at virtually no cost.
