1. 7 Ways to Market your Hotel Using Social Media

2. Social media accounts have come
far from being the medium to
stay in touch with family
members and friends.
The idea behind social media was
to make communication easier
and readily accessible. This is
significant for business
communications as well. Social
media, therefore, becomes
important to reach a wider range
of audience for your hotel.

1. Get Direct Bookings from Facebook:
Facebook can be your revenue generator. The Facebook business page offers a lot many features which can completely change your social
media marketing game.
Facebook allows you to get a direct booking with their Book Now Button. You can also run paid ads on Facebook. As Facebook has the largest
user base of all the social media platforms, social media, there are many opportunities for you to reach to your potential customers. You can
pick your target demographic to showcase your ads.
2. Use Unique Hashtags on Instagram:
Being a picture-based platform, Instagram rules with visual content. It is excellent for building your brand and increasing awareness about
your hotel.
High-quality images are the key to gaining popularity on Instagram. Post attractive shots of your hotel and post them around hashtags which
are relevant to your hotel. Create your unique hashtags which can be easily identified with your brand identity.

4. 3. Twitter is best for time-sensitive posts:
Twitter makes a great place for sharing posts which are time-sensitive. It also is a great place for micro-blogging.
Trending hashtags are a huge thing on Twitter. You can also use Twitter to host contests and polls to increase user engagement. If your hotel
has an entertaining sense of humour, then Twitter is your ticket to fame.
4. Encourage people to leave reviews on Facebook
Google reviews are great, TripAdvisor reviews are even better but Facebook reviews are also a great opportunity to get approval from your
customers, increase your hotel brand's credibility and gain more business.
People often share holiday pictures on Facebook, so it is much easier and convenient for users to leave reviews on Facebook than on other
review platforms.

Sharing news about your deals and offers is a great idea. Social media can also be used for sharing the latest updates of your hotels like
upcoming events in your hotel.
Videos and GIFs are also hot property on twitter and people prefer sharing them. Aim to offer some form of value to your customers. It could
be entertainment, information or anything you get creative with, but focus on giving.

Social Media platforms are often used by people to make inquiries or complains. People often talk about their hotel experience online. You can
utilize this to your advantage by reaching out to people who talk about your hotels.
Answer their questions, look into their complaints. If someone posts a bad review, be tactful and ask if you could make it better. Importantly,
when people say good things about your hotel, your staff, and your service, thank those people. Everyone loves to be validated.

Above all, don't forget that social media is essentially a
place to communicate and built connections. Use social
media platforms to engage your old and new users.

in day out. Give them reasons to follow you.
