Hotel (Re-)Positioning & Restructuring Consultancy

Competition is getting fiercer by the day. You had better keep up with the trends in new technologies and architectural prowess of newer hotels in your market. Keeping in step with your competition only helps you to remain in the game, effectively selling and marketing your product after a renovation however, will give you the edge over those friendly rivals. Adapting to new markets and clients takes time and the willingness to objectively evaluate your product as well as your team with a view to restructuring & re-positioning.

 

Short/Medium-Term Relief Consultancy

Members of the Sales & Marketing department who resign are often asked to leave their office immediately, thus creating a void in not only the continuation of servicing clients, but also – in the case of the department-head leaving – a loss of strategic thinking as well as guiding the rest of the sales & marketing force.

 

Because of E&A Trends’ vast experience in many markets and hotels, it is perfectly suited to running the Sales & Marketing department until a suitable candidate can be found. E&A Trends may even assist in placing the right candidate for the hotel, thus paving the way for a seamless and well coordinated hand-over that leaves the team fully functional.

Turn-Key Sales & Marketing Consultancy

Building a new hotel is a daunting and expensive undertaking. Time is of the essence and hotel owners have other things to worry about then how to position and market the new property, let alone finding the right people to handle such an important function as sales & marketing. The wrong positioning and pricing structure can cost millions to investors and may take years before a course correction will overcome just one of these costly mistakes. E&A Trends’ consultants are familiar with a vast number of markets in Asia and are able to give insights into their often difficult cultural and political situations.

 

Mystery Shopping

Competition in the 21st century is ugly. Globalization is tearing down borders and businesses are more aggressive, more competitive than ever before. What needs to be done? What do your guests expect of your product? How do they want you to communicate with them? A “Mystery Shopper” can give you valuable answers to these questions.

 

Having your Hotel ‘shopped’ by a professional “Mystery Guest” helps not only maintain but further improve your standards of service. Mystery Guests work anonymously and discreetly. No-one will ever suspect them of evaluating your services and facilities as they seamlessly blend into your general guest profile.
