b'As more and more countries begin their reopening, how can you make sure your hospitality property message doesn\\u2019t get lost in the clutter. I\\u2019m talking about messaging to guests.

Is there a no-fail way for a hospitality property to avoid getting lost in the crowd as they get ready to open up again?

The simple answer is - No.

However, is that there are key steps hoteliers and innkeepers should consider as you start communicating with former and potential guests.


Messaging to Guests Introduction

Keep guests up-to-date

Once all your policies are in line and your employees are on board, an easy way to reassure guests of your hygiene standards is to set up a dedicated page on your website. If you are currently open, another quick and simple way to reassure guests is to take your \'cleanliness\' ratings from your OTA listings and display them prominently on your site. Potential bookers care what other guests have to say as much as they care about your official policies.

In terms of how you communicate the details of your COVID-19 policies, keep your content simple, well-structured and reassuring in tone and if you have the available resource, consider a short video that demonstrates the measures you have put in place. If you don\'t have the resource to film your own content; a slideshow-style reel of text over images may well be enough to get your key messages across.


Get to the point quickly

Don\\u2019t be wishy-washy with your messaging, get to the point as quickly as possible, so that it is impossible to ignore. Benefits and incentives \\u2013 if they are appealing and relevant \\u2013 always increase bookings.

A strong lead in your message will compel people to continue and to hopefully act. In this environment, your readers do not have the time to wade through subtle approaches, so be sure to let your potential guests know immediately \\u201cwhat\\u2019s in it for them.\\u201d
