Marketing Essentials for Independent Lodgings outlines how to get a business's name out there, attract consumers, and navigate the dicey world of social media and an online presence. Descriptions of traveler demographics, how to get the word out about a property, and how to make a property unique are all talked about at depth. The goal of this book is to help small lodgings flourish, and it does so by including lists of actions that can be taken this week, this month, or this year to help positively impact the bottom line. Also included is a specific marketing outline that can be adapted to an individual business, giving business owners a timeline and plan they can follow. 000865351 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on July 31, 2017). 000865351 650_0 $$aHotels$$xMarketing. 000865351 653__ $$amarketing 000865351 653__ $$abed & breakfast 000865351 653__ $$aboutique hotel 000865351 653__ $$aecotourism 000865351 653__ $$aguesthouse 000865351 653__ $$ainn 000865351 653__ $$alodge 000865351 653__ $$alodging 000865351 653__ $$aOTA 000865351 653__ $$aprint marketing 000865351 653__ $$apublic relations 000865351 653__ $$asocial media 000865351 653__ $$atravel agent 000865351 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000865351 7001_ $$aLanier, Marie,$$eauthor. 000865351 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781631575969 000865351 830_0 $$aTourism and hospitality management collection. 000865351 852__ $$bebk 000865351 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4898664$$zOnline Access 000865351 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:865351$$pGLOBAL_SET 000865351 980__ $$aBIB 000865351 980__ $$aEBOOK 000865351 982__ $$aEbook 000865351 983__ $$aOnline
