Your Location (city, etc)
Our website servers are located in NYC to allow fast connection speed to both US and international clients.
When did you start your website and why?
It is now a couple of years that our website is online. We started a hotel directory with a clear idea of listing exclusively hotels official websites. Later on we allowed hotel-keepers to post their own Hotel Page, complete with pictures and hotel updates, in addition to the hotel listing in the directory.
Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc
Hotelkeepers submit the hotel info and keep it updated. Travellers can access this hotel info simply browsing the directory.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
As you would expect we have tried several options for promoting our hotel directory, which in principle should be easy considering that it provides a free service to the hospitality industry and to the travellers. Online advertising, Google and Yahoo, proved successful though it requires time and money to adjust and follow through the keywords performance. You need to be careful how you spend your budget as not all the keywords you expect to be the best would actually produce what you expect (hotel-keepers registration in our case) so it is a continuous refining job. In the end we have learned a lot about hospitality industry and hotel online advertising!
How can a hotel benefit from your website?
Through our directory we promote the hotel own website therefore the hotel direct bookings. In the very end this means additional bookings for the hotel and a lesser ratio of agency - high commissions - reservations.
