Send email / message to guests before they arrive.
The pre-arrival stage is critical in forming guests’ initial impressions, influencing their entire experience.
Early engagement fosters trust, assures guests they’re valued, and can lead to better reviews and repeat bookings
Tailored, friendly pre arrival emails and messages help hotels stand out and convey genuine hospitality
Pre-arrival communication streamlines operations by reducing repetitive questions about check-in procedures, amenities, and hotel policies
Give guests a convenient way to respond or ask questions. Certain channels (e.g., SMS, WhatsApp) are more likely to get an immediate response, boosting satisfaction and preventing miscommunication. While Email and Expedia do allow hotels to reach guests irrespective of carrier restrictions.
