Listen & Respond To Your Customers, Fast
Twitter is ideal for two-way communication with your prospects & customers. We recommed listening to what your customers are saying about you. Do this by monitoring for mentions of your hotel brand by name or through hashtags.
If you're using Statusbrew, you can use the Twitter Brand Keywords feature to see how people react to your product, brand, or a popular topic beyond your social feed. Search for keywords, hashtags, and travel brands on Twitter to uncover trends, analyze sentiment, and respond quickly in real-time.
Understand Your Customers
Knowing your customers helps you take an audience-specific approach to create customized travel packages, itineraries, etc.
For instance, if your customers are primarily millennials or Gen Z, spending money on creating & marketing cruise packages would not be fruitful.
The travel industry is an emotionally driven vertical, which means it's all selling experiences that vary based on demographic factors such as age group, gender, nationality, etc.
Use The Power Of Hashtags
Keep a tab on the trending hashtags with the travel suppliers, fellow travel agents, etc. Use a maximum of three such hashtags per tweet.
With built-in features like social listening and brand keywords and hashtag insights, boost your Twitter efforts with Statusbrew.
