Gravett Business Consultancy
Over the past 3 years the volume of accommodation businesses that have given their route to market away to booking agencies has increased considerably and they are paying for the privilege with potentially huge commission fees of between 15-30% for each booking made. These companies such as AirBnB and Bookings.com are brilliant at bringing new business, but at what price.
“Conventional business wisdom contends that it costs 10 times as much to obtain a new customer as it does to retain an existing customer.” Pricing for Profitability: Activity-Based Pricing for Competitive Advantage By John L. Daly (2002), p85. Published by John Wiley and Sons. ISBN 0471221597
My work is aimed at small Bed & Breakfasts, Guest-houses and self-catering properties based in Cumbria and will provide a method of marketing and customer relationship which will decrease costs, improve customer loyalty and increase profitability.
The OFFER
I will visit your business for 3 hours to understand your current marketing activity, to establish the % of customers acquired via on-line booking agencies & the associated cost per customer, identifying the type of customers that would suit your business and provide recommendations to improve based on 18 years of experience in this market, these recommendations should be initiated within the first month.
The second meeting would be held a month later, to evaluate the results from the first month and to start to produce a Marketing Plan including customer segmentation. The Third Meeting would again be held a month later and this again will build on the previous work and evaluate the results to date.
Further meetings are held on a quarterly basis for the first year, building on experience, fine tuning the results and finally analysing the first years performance.
Subjects that would be covered in these meetings include the following:
Review of website, online booking agents and online digital presence including Social Media & e-Newsletters
Review of target customer base and production of customer personas
Recommendations on improvements on all aspects of marketing and production of an annual Market Plan
