Sample marketing plans and templates are available online, or through franchisors (for franchise properties); marketing consultants can help in creating a marketing plan
A marketing plan need not be long and complicated
Marketing plans should include programs to attract business to each of a property’s revenue centers

Step 1: Conducting a Marketing Audit

The marketing audit is the research step

Step 1: Conducting a Marketing Audit The marketing audit is the research
in the planning process. There are several elements involved in conducting a marketing audit:
Internal sources of marketing information
External sources of marketing information
Property analysis
Competition analysis
Marketplace analysis

Слайд 8

Internal Sources of Marketing Information

The simplest marketing information system to design and

Internal Sources of Marketing Information The simplest marketing information system to design
implement is an internal system designed to collect data from within the hotel or restaurant
An internal information-gathering system can provide lots of information while requiring less time and money than an external system
Internal information-gathering methods include using guest histories and sales data, guest comment cards, in-house guest surveys, and face-to-face conversations with guests
Employees and managers are also internal sources of marketing information as they frequently receive guest feedback

Слайд 9

External Sources of Marketing Information
There are a number of syndicated services that

External Sources of Marketing Information There are a number of syndicated services
collect consumer information, including customer profiles, shopping behavior, customer responses to advertising, and consumer attitudes/preferences
Some firms gather statistics that enable a property to compare itself against its competition
Other external sources of marketing information include trade associations, trade journals and periodicals, popular periodicals, convention and visitors bureaus, travel bureaus, government sources, and the Internet

Property Analysis

A property analysis is a written, unbiased self-appraisal used to assess

Property Analysis A property analysis is a written, unbiased self-appraisal used to
the strengths and weaknesses of a property
A property analysis takes into account both revenue- and non-revenue-producing areas, as well as intangibles such as reputation and location
First, a detailed room-by-room and facility-by-facility inspection should be made; building exteriors, landscaping, and the property’s sign should also be examined
The entire property should be evaluated in terms of traffic flow, accessibility, eye appeal, and compatibility with local surroundings

Слайд 11

Property Analysis
The property should also be analyzed from the guest’s perspective
Part of

Property Analysis The property should also be analyzed from the guest’s perspective
performing a property analysis is to conduct an occupancy and activity analysis, which is an analysis of the property’s past, present, and potential operating statistics used to track sales history patterns over a three- to five-year period; this analysis reveals low-business periods and should be conducted for all revenue centers
A geographic origin study reveals where guests come from and can help a property focus its marketing efforts

Слайд 12

Competition Analysis

The objectives of a competition analysis are to discover (1) profitable

Competition Analysis The objectives of a competition analysis are to discover (1)
guest groups being served by competitors that are not being served at your property, (2) some competitive benefit or advantage your property enjoys that cannot be matched by major competitors, and (3) weaknesses in the marketing strategies of competitors on which your property can capitalize
A competition analysis should be made at least four times a year
One of the main reasons for assessing your competition is to determine how you can differentiate your property in a way that adds value for customers
Generally speaking, competitors are properties in the immediate area that sell to similar market segments and offer similar products and services at similar prices (your competitive set)

Слайд 13

Management’s Role in Marketing and Sales

You can identify your competitors through a

Management’s Role in Marketing and Sales You can identify your competitors through
competitive rate analysis, preparing competitive fact sheets, and analyzing need fulfillment by market segment
A competition analysis involves walking the properties of competitors, talking with competitors’ employees, studying the advertising of competitors, and taking note of how they use social media
The three most commonly used statistics for measuring your performance against your competitors are market share, fair share, and revenue per available room (RevPAR)

Marketplace Analysis

A marketplace analysis researches the property’s current position in the marketplace

Marketplace Analysis A marketplace analysis researches the property’s current position in the
and reveals potential opportunities to promote the property, as well as identifies environmental opportunities and problems that can affect business
Marketplace factors that affect business include changes in demographics; positive and negative events in the community, region, state, and nation; energy availability and costs; government regulation; and the cost of travel
Statistics for projecting environmental effects on business can be found in census data, information from industrial commissions, and industry reports

Step 2: Selecting Profitable Target Markets

A hotel is actually a series of

Step 2: Selecting Profitable Target Markets A hotel is actually a series
businesses that cater to a number of different markets
Market segmentation consists of viewing a market as a number of smaller market segments, each segment a group of consumers with similar product and service preferences
Markets can be segmented by demographics, purpose of trip, benefits sought, geography, lifestyle, usage, and intermediary

Слайд 17

Step 2: Selecting Profitable Target Markets
It is impossible to be all things

Step 2: Selecting Profitable Target Markets It is impossible to be all
to all people; properties must define their product in terms of the major market segments they can best satisfy (these become their target markets)
Properties can identify their current guest mix through the use of a revenue grid and an occupancy chart, and by gathering guest profile information

Слайд 18

Guest Profile Information

A breakdown of the present

Guest Profile Information Using guest registration/reservations information can reveal: A breakdown of
guest base
The demographics of each guest: age, sex, marital status, family size, income, occupation, etc.
The point of origin or the feeder city from which each guest arrives
Average length of stay and the pattern of occupancy (revealing peak, shoulder, and valley periods)
How guests get to the property
Sources of reservations
Lucrative market segments that should be targeted for future promotions

Guest Mix A property wants to create the mix of business that
generate the greatest revenue and produce the most profit
A balanced guest mix is ideal, because it will help ensure that a property can maintain a fairly steady occupancy rate regardless of changing market trends
A property’s guest mix should be reviewed periodically
Defining and redefining markets is a continual process; adjustments to the marketing plan and the guest mix are frequently required as conditions change
Unforeseen events, such as economic downturns, strikes, highway reroutings, and weather may alter the guest mix, requiring adjustments on the part of management

Step 3: Positioning the Property Every property projects a certain image in
minds of the public; this is known as the property’s market position
The process of designing a property’s market position is known as positioning
Positioning is not simply advertising; it involves the hospitality a property offers and its managers and marketers ability to create unique selling points based on the property’s location, internal or external features, and personnel

Слайд 21

Step 3: Positioning the Property

There are two basic positioning choices: you can

Step 3: Positioning the Property There are two basic positioning choices: you
directly compare yourself to the competition, or you can identify a new need in the marketplace and fulfill that need before the competition discovers it
Developing a positioning strategy requires identifying the benefits that will be most important to potential guests and knowing exactly what the property has to offer

Слайд 22

Questions to Assist with Positioning Development

Who are we? What do we stand

Questions to Assist with Positioning Development Who are we? What do we
for? What are our strengths and weaknesses? Does our property have a liability that can be turned into an asset?
How does our property differ from the competition? Does our property have tangible or intangible advantages over the competition? Are there areas in which we can set ourselves apart?
What areas are not producing the desired revenue or response? Are there areas that show a high potential for repeat business?
Which target market segments can be most beneficial to us?
What are the needs and wants of each segment? What benefits do they seek? Does the property offer any features or services that are unique?
Are there opportunities in the marketplace? How can we go about attracting this business?

Слайд 23

The positioning statement

The Positioning Statement A property’s positioning statement expresses the property’s uniqueness The
must communicate the property’s advantages to its selected target markets
The positioning statement should be targeted to market segments of sufficient size to warrant the expenditures required to attract additional business from those segments, and the property must have the ability to meet the needs of these market segments
Strong positioning creates an image, outlines guest benefits, and distinguishes a property from its competition
It is important to reassess your positioning periodically

Developing and Implementing Action Plans Action plans are the heart of a
plan
There should be detailed action plans for each market segment and revenue center
Action plans can be as simple or as complicated as necessary
Action plans should be very specific and incorporate the following six areas:
A description of the types of business and the market segments to be solicited
Target customers—a specific definition of who will be solicited
Rates/packages/promotions/special plans—a listing of the rates that will be charged for business within each segment

Budgeting Most marketing budgets include sales, advertising, online marketing/website costs, and promotional
direct mail postage and handling charges; promotional premiums; and salaries of the marketing and sales staff
Individual budgets should also be established for each market segment and each action plan designed to reach that segment
Budgeting should be broken down into quarterly segments to make effective monitoring possible (the exception is media advertising, which is often budgeted on an annual basis)

Слайд 30

Budgeting
A zero-base budget starts at zero; monies are budgeted at levels needed

Budgeting A zero-base budget starts at zero; monies are budgeted at levels
to get the job done, and all expenses must be justified
Although zero-base budgeting takes more time and effort than percentage-of-sales, competitive-parity, or affordable-funds budgeting, it is considered the best way to budget for marketing

effort is measured, the easier it will be to plan future marketing activities and programs
The cost-effectiveness of some public relations efforts and sales promotions may be difficult to measure, but it is important to establish some sort of monitoring system for them
The marketing plan should be reviewed periodically so that corrective action can be taken throughout the planning cycle
