However, a successful campaign for your hotel takes some deep thinking and proper execution. Not all hotel marketers have enjoyed rewards from flyer distribution. They failed to consider producing flyer with catchy prints or impress readers when it comes to quality and creativity (e.g. poor quality paper, standard flyer template).
To benefit the rewards of flyer advertising where some marketers have not, here are a few creative ideas that you can implement for successful hotel promotion.
Priority on the Visuals
Allocate a budget for a photo shoot with professional photographer. Stock up with great pictures of your hotel showcasing its amenities, features and great architecture (or design). Use models that will project as your happy, satisfied and loyal customers.
Compelling graphics with vivid colors stir up people's emotions. These make them read your advertisement. Make sure though that you are implementing graphics that are aligned with your branding and positioning in the market. If you are a luxurious hotel, use elements and images that portray affluence and extravagance.
Watch the Words
Be careful with your headline. It needs to be attention grabbing or thought provoking. It must cause the reader to call you or search you online for some queries. You only have a second or two to impress customers with your flyer. Use active words. Keep in mind as well that the words and the images must go hand-in-hand.
Offer Guarantee
Be a step ahead of your customers by erasing future doubts. Afford guarantees to make them confident in choosing your hotel. Make them feel that they are not wasting their money on you. If they are not satisfied with the service, pitch discounts on their stay or on any purchases inside your hotel. And to introduce trust, include one or two short customer testimonial or feedback printed in your flyer.
Ask them to Book
After making your advertising pitch, don't forget to include the part where they call you for any sales inquiry or booking a stay in your hotel. A call to action is one of the most important messages in your flyer. Come up with a strategy that will let them pick up the phone to contact you or log on to your website and avail of a discount coupon to a night's stay (if you have one).
Hopefully, these tips will reap rewards for you and your hotel. Flyers are really effective as advertising materials. With the right strategy and content and flyer template, you are surely to succeed.
