Visit with us at HITEC 2016, Booth #917 in New Orleans.
Don't miss the hospitality industry debut of a newly designed Cetis contemporary hotel phone.
We look forward to meeting with our customers, partners, colleagues, and friends at HITEC 2016. This year the show is scheduled to open on Tuesday, June 21 at the Ernest Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, running through Thursday, June 23. Come join with us for demonstrations of our full range of guest smart device USB charging solutions, plus the debut of a completely new hotel phone, designed to merge best-in-class contemporary styling and USB charging with a popular, classic guest room phone footprint.
Be sure to ask about our new Teledex E Series USB hotel phones with built-in USB charging ports available in single and two-line analog, VoIP, corded and cordless configurations. Guest USB charging ports are also a standard feature on E Series USB RediDock remote cordless handset kit charging stations. Amazingly big on features, yet surprisingly small in size. Teledex E Series hotel phones are 40% smaller than standard guest room telephones, creating an entirely new category in hotel telephone design. E Series flat panel, compact style adds a touch of elegance to any room without compromising functionality. Originally styled to meet the limited space and energy requirements aboard cruise ship cabins, E Series micro-footprint hotel phones require minimal surface area on the desk and nightstand. Interior designers appreciate the sophisticated extra thin, ultra-stylish body while guests enjoy the familiar, comfortable feel of a sleek, modern handset.

Content Marketing for Hotels: How to Get Started Telling Your Hotel's Story.
Content marketing is more than a buzzword. It’s an important part of your hotel’s marketing strategy.
Simply put, it’s the creation and distribution of valuable assets, such as videos, blog posts and e-newsletters, as marketing tools to attract and retain customers. For hotels and other accommodation providers, these assets showcase your property’s unique story and brand, and complement your room distribution and sales efforts.
How does content marketing work?
The Content Marketing Institute (CMI), based in the US, defines content marketing as “…a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly-defined audience – and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.”
How does it work in hospitality?
By attracting your target guests, influencing them into booking a stay, and retaining them as repeat guests – just as you do with your hotel website, like those created by SiteMinder’s Canvas. The key is to first provide useful content that informs and entertains. Secondly, it’s important to deliver it consistently to establish credibility and foster engagement. As part of your inbound digital marketing campaign, content also drives traffic to your website and social media channels to increase your visibility online. What content marketing isn’t, is excessive promotional messaging. Occasional outreach to publicize new packages or amenities is expected, but good content is light on the sales pitch.
Which hotels do a great content marketing job?
Looking at concrete examples of content marketing, Marriott is touted as gold standard. Under the direction of David Beebe, VP of global creative and content marketing, several full-time staff at the Marriott Content Studio create content in the form of branded magazines, books, TV shows, webisodes, short films and documentaries. This is in addition to actively engaging on several social media channels around the clock. One example is Marriott Traveler, a magazine with destination-based content that provides readers with information on what to do in several cities where Marriott properties are located. The initial launch covered three cities, and within three months the magazine had driven bookings to 7,200 rooms. The company also produced two short films, ‘Two Bellmen’ and ‘French Kiss’ that are shown on in-room television, the JW Marriott brand.com site, and on Marriott’s YouTube channel. 'Two Bellmen’, with its high-action plot involving a business traveler, was filmed at a JW Marriott property in Los Angeles. Watch it, and you’ll realize that it also tells a story of superlative customer service. It currently has more than five million views on YouTube. The Marriott brand is always integrated into these print and digital assets, but it’s secondary. And as a result, the campaign has successfully impacted customer engagement and direct booking conversions. Click here to read the entire article at Hotel-Online.
