We believe INTUITION Brand Marketing should win the Best Business Product Award for their constant innovation and game changing approach to customer engagement.

In just over one year since launch, INTUITION already serves more than 240 hotels and resorts which impacts over 1,000,000 customers per year.

INTUITION offers a suite of services, which are available as standalone items, but when combined provide a stunning Insight-Driven strategy that improves reputation and revenue.

The integrated modular approach enables companies to start off small, with just the areas they need immediate help with, but then add services as they need them to create a cohesive guest engagement strategy that provides advanced, yet easy to use data analytics.

All campaigns, reporting and analytics are custom built to suit each client’s needs – INTUITION moulds and fits into existing client processes making it very easy to adopt – providing faster, more accurate results.

INTUITION services include:

REVIEW MONITORING
Any insight-driven strategy starts with monitoring what is already being said about a client by its hotel guests. With INTUITION’s Online Review Monitoring service clients can track all of their hotel reviews across more than 70+ major review sites in one simple dashboard. Read and respond to reviews from TripAdvisor, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Google+, Travelocity, Yelp, Foursquare, Facebook, Booking.com and more…

POST STAY SURVEY & TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS
As a TripAdvisor Joint Review Collection Partner, INTUITION seamlessly integrates a licensed review widget into its enterprise-level survey system. Guests receive custom branded email invitations asking them to rate the client’s hotel on the world’s largest travel website and answer a few short questions about their stay. This integration means that the guest does not have to visit TripAdvisor.com to separately post a review – its submitted from within the survey itself, making it extremely easy for guests and increasing review volume by an average of 400%.

ADVANCED ANALYTICS
Collecting data is only useful if a client can easily interpret it. The INTUITION Intelligence platform is custom built to suit client needs, only showing them what they want to see. It can take multiple data sources and combine them into simple or complex dashboards, instantly identifying areas of success and areas for improvement in departments throughout their business. It’s infinitely scalable, and can combine all of the modules into one powerful business analytics system.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
Once a client knows what their areas of improvement are, it’s time to benchmark their areas of success against those of its competitors. Collecting data on client competitors enables them to better understand their performance, problems and key features, in order to adjust their product offerings and marketing strategies to play on strengths and weaknesses.

PRE-ARRIVAL EMAILS
Start engaging with guests as soon as a reservation is made. Capitalize on their excitement and find out useful information about their expectations and plans for their vacation with a quick poll. Then around 7 days before they are due to check-in, send them upgrade offers, airport transfer options, pre-arrival discounts on excursions etc to drive additional revenue.

ON-SITE FEEDBACK
Choose from a variety of custom-built customer interactions. INTUITION can provide Special Offer sign-ups at check-in that help clients capture data from guests who booked through OTAs. INTUITION also offers an advanced feedback system that allows guests to make requests from housekeeping, ask concierge a question, request a restaurant or SPA reservation and even send complaints directly to the General Manager, giving clients a chance to appropriately fix a problem while the guest is still onsite and before it turns into a negative review online.

SMS MARKETING
INTUITION’s SMS Marketing platform enables clients to communicate with guests before, during and after their stay. Connect this service to the On-Site Feedback and automatically have guests signed up at Check-In to receive SMS updates throughout their stay. Promote Happy Hours, Activities, Special Offers and Discounts. Clients can log in at any time to quickly and easily send a bulk SMS message to help drive revenue at slow times, and schedule common messages and offers to be delivered each day or week using the automated system.

EMAIL MARKETING AUTOMATION
INTUITION can take all the data collected through the above services and put it to work with its Email Marketing Automation service. It sends a series of highly targeted email campaigns that send information and offers to guests based on their survey feedback, or previous purchase history to drive increases in repeat bookings and referrals.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGEMENT
Get advanced insights into Facebook and Twitter Account activity. Clients can identify their most successful posts, their most engaged followers and much more. They are alerted to negative posts and benefit from full text search, historical data, topic clouds, demographics and more. Clients then utilize the advanced features to track any publicly available reference of their company / resort across 70+ million websites, blogs, news sites, forums and social media platforms.

With even more services due to be added in Q1 of 2017, this rapidly growing company is reimagining customer engagement into an essential revenue boosting and reputation management strategy.
