Herausforderungen
Samuel Braun Hotels is keenly aware of the importance of online presence and the digital habits of today’s traveler. It is also aware that the online digital world can often seem distant in the everyday lives of hotels staff who are very much dealing with the here and now of hotel operations. The group was looking for a way to bridge the gap between the online and offline world in a clear and easy-to-analyze format.
The Solution
The group started out by setting goals for all major KPIs: GRI™, management response (volume, time), and online review volume. In order to improve each metric, strategies were put into place for both Online Reputation Management (ORM)and Guest Satisfaction Surveys (GSS) solutions.
- GRI™: To improve this metric it is important to collect guest feedback and use it to make the relevant operational and service improvement at a property. At the Samuel Braun Hotels staff is given a weekly and quarterly report of guest feedback. This includes areas they have done well on and areas of improvement. An overall report is also delivered to the CEO.
- Management Response: The group has a dedicated Quality Manager to answer guest reviews with set goals as part of a management response strategy. They must answer 95% of all reviews on all channels, 100% of negative reviews within a maximum of 3 days.
- Review Volume: The group implemented a TripAdvisor Review Collection program to encourage guests to leave reviews there rather than on OTAs and encourage direct bookings.
“We needed a way to collect a large number of reviews in a clear, organized, and understandable way. ReviewPro allows us to build up a picture of our online statistics over a large number of platforms and in many languages, increasing efficiency and saving time and resources.”
-Tom Knizka, Revenue & E-Commerce Assistant
