Enhance Your Hotel's Customer Service with Messaging Apps

In today's age of technology, you will hardly come across any individual who is unplugged from the internet. People view being constantly connected as a necessity and value the convenience, instant responses and results they get by being online. 


It is said that 75% of travelers use their mobile devices to book their trips and accommodations. As hoteliers, this is important information to consider to be able to keep up with the fast-paced methods of getting in touch with your guests. 

Messaging apps increase guests interactions
One of the biggest benefits of messaging apps is their ability to help personalize the guest experience. Following a booking, a hotel can contact a guest via the platform they’re most engaged with to ask for pre-stay details and preferences. If a guest previously asked for extra pillows, in-room dining, or routinely prefers staying on the ground floor, these needs can be accommodated ahead of time.

Get a better reach on your market
According to TravelTripper.com "Hotels have also been communicating with customers through WhatsApp, which Facebook acquired for $19 billion in 2014. With over 900 million monthly active users, the messaging app continues to grow rapidly, having seen an astounding 50% increase in users from August 2014 to August 2015." 

This means, using messaging apps for your hotel not only allows you to create better connections with your guests, but it also lets you reach wider audiences.

When guests book with your hotel, they book with the intention to relax and be pampered. This should reflect on their experience as early as the booking stage. Communication must cater to the guest's convenience and with messaging apps, this becomes easier and more accessible to them. With the ability to deliver more personalized experiences, respond to service issues in real-time, and offer an easy way for customers to make requests, hotels can build rapport, strengthen relationships and offer the kind of outstanding service that leads to long-term loyalty.

We are very excited to announce a new partnership between RoomCloud and GuestConnexxion. The development work started only a few weeks ago and the integration between RoomCloud and Guest Connexxion is now tested, certified and ready to be used by hoteliers. What does this integration mean for hoteliers? This new partnership enables hoteliers to offer a great guest experience, from right after the booking to the day of departure. Most often hoteliers only send their guests a booking confirmation and guests have to wait only till right before or even during arrival for the hotel to get in touch again. However, GuestConnexxion enables hoteliers to be in touch with their guests throughout the complete guest journey. Silvia Gualano, Marketing Director for RoomCloud, knows that hoteliers can use the window between the booking and the arrival as an opportunity. It’s a useful way to make their guests feel welcome and promote last-minute deals, such as upgrades. But, even more important nowadays, is to keep your guests informed. Especially about the ever-changing Covid situation and possible impacts on their stay. Silvia: “ Your guests will surely appreciate that level of service , especially in these times. This provides them with a clear picture of what to expect once they arrive.” Robin Bunnik, co-founder of Guest Connexxion totally agrees. “ Without technology, it is impossible to get in touch with your guests via their preferred means of communication. The integration with RoomCloud enables hoteliers to communicate with their guests through the most popular channels like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.” What’s even more impressive, is that the hotelier doesn’t have to do a single thing extra, thanks to the API of RoomCloud. Thanks to the integration, Guest Connexxion is able to pick up contact- and reservation details of the guests who made a booking via third-party channels. This ensures that hoteliers receive all guest messages, from all the different communication channels, in their omnichannel Guest Connexxion inbox. Hoteliers can even schedule different types of outbound messages, which are targeted messages that are automatically sent to all people who will arrive, who are in-house or who are getting ready for their departure. Who are RoomCloud and Guest Connexxion? RoomCloud is probably most known for the Booking Engine and Channel Manager, which is used by over 5000 hoteliers from 90 different countries. However, besides increasing both direct bookings and bookings via OTA’s, RoomCloud is also top of the game with the latest technology around MetaSearch. By delivering quality software and increasing revenue over the whole line, the company is part of the top of the distribution platforms worldwide. Click here to get more information . Guest Connexxion is an all-in-one guest messaging platform, where hoteliers can manage all communication with their guests, including WhatsApp , Facebook Messenger, SMS and email , from one single dashboard. Guest Connexxion enables hoteliers to improve the guest experience, increase productivity and boost revenue by communicating with their guests in their preferred channels of communication before, during, and after their stay.
