Bridging the Tactical to the Strategic: Down the Rabbit Hole We Go
Now that we have an overview of what’s going on and what is being used from yesterdays
session. Now comes the answers to "what do we (I) do about it?" This is when we define the
terms, 'vernacular communication', 'cross-divisional KPI's', and 'convergent data sources'.
Exciting right? Case studies, open Q&A, Practical, actionable methodologies, all the things
that can be used when you get back home. Also, bring your gnarliest revenue challenge
that's staring you down in the future, we will pick one, and collectively solve it.

34. • Revenue Management
• Pricing used as the main lever for optimizing hotel demand to meet room revenue forecasts
• Reports were the main foundation for analysis; analytics not yet a major focus
• Demand data not readily accessible or reliable
• Room forecasts based solely on pace and % growth
• Pricing not based on elasticity of demand but rather the comp set
• Customer segmentation buckets too wide to differentiate customer value
• Optimal mix based solely on top-line room revenue potential
• Hotel distribution landscape fragmented
• RMS technology in it’s early stages
• Driven primarily by PMS source system data
• Providing top-line RM analytics that could be easily developed outside of the RMS
• No integration with Marketing to align on strategies or tactics
Revenue Management Silo circa 2000-2010
35. • General statistics – Visitors / Page Views / Duration / Bounce Rates
• Mainly SEO driven efforts – ‘Silver Bullet’ tactics
• Impact driven strategies – no real ‘source’ metrics, lots of ‘implied’
conversion data based on promo-code tracking
• ‘Challenging’ ability to track ad service accuracy
• Fad or trend - for a channel representing 3-5% total revenue
• OTA’s are the ‘enemy’ – we’ll never give them the same inventory we
did in ‘01 …errr ‘08
Digital Marketing Silo circa 2000-2010
39. Reporting is “the process of organizing data into
informational summaries in order to monitor how
different areas of a business are performing.”
...Analytics is “the process of exploring data and
reports in order to extract meaningful insights, which
can be used to better understand and improve
business performance.”
The Differentiation Between Reporting & Analytics

Decisions
Continuous
Improvement
41. Collaboration
• Working together as one
unified team across all
departments involved with
profit optimization
• Establishing a committee to
govern the next steps of the
framework
42. Common Vernacular
• Common Language
• Does customer segmentation really
mean the same thing as marketing
segmentation?
• Common KPI’s
• Are stakeholders using the right KPI’s
that generate holistic views of
performance at the highest level?
• Common Goals
• Lowering the media budget to
optimize profit might not be what
marketing wants to hear for next
year’s budget, but do our holistic
KPI’s show that we’ve reached the
point of diminishing returns?
43. Integrity In Data
• Identify what data we have
from each respective area
that we can combine into our
data model
• Make sure the data is
accurate, consistent &
correctly represents the
common vernacular
established
• Do not practice ‘statistical
bending’
44. Transparency
• Be open to all team members
about what the data “is” and
what it “isn’t”
• Build visual context around
what the team are looking at
• Understand what the team
has now and what the team is
trying to build for the future
45. Build Trust
• Buy-in from stakeholders
• Trusting that the process
works towards hotel or
enterprise profit optimization
and not your department as a
silo
• Acknowledge successes and
share failures
• Own what is yours
46. Enable Business Decisions
• See the big picture across all
data sets being sourced; both
internal & 3rd party
• Holistic approach to
enhanced enterprise /
property decision making
• Grow your business profitably,
not necessarily your
department
47. Continuous Improvement
• What did we learn?
• How can we improve next
time around?
• Fail fast
• Team share failures and
debrief them, not hide them
• Define performance threshold
metrics with concrete decision
models
• Keep an activity log
48. The Result: A New Visual Way To Monitor Your Holistic KPI’s
49. Now What? Optimizing Mix Based on Channel Economics
Through which channels can a guest X
book a room?
Given variation in guest economics by channel and property, which channels should we incentivize guest X
to book through?
PER ROOM NIGHT
How much does it cost to acquire guest
X for that channel? $XX $XX $XX $XX
How much does it cost to process guest
X’s room reservation? $XX $XX $XX $XX
How much does guest X spend on a
room?* $XX $XX $XX $XX
Once guest X arrives, how much is spent
on-property? $XX $XX $XX $XX
Tracked Contribution Margins $XX $XX $XX $XX

Magneto and the bridge being built right in front of him
The opening of ‘Bots’ — Google / Apple / Amazon / Microsoft — why is this important? it allows developers to now use the voice commands of Google now / Siri / Alexa / Cortana — googles new assistant / SIRI coming to your computer / Echo / and the internet of things coming to you home and cars….

Basic traffic monitoring
No real building block strategies, but rather a pursuit of ‘what is the next trick to fool Google’ conversion based on ‘implied metrics
All data interpretations are based on engagement metrics with the website of ad traffic, no real origin tracking in place, or validation of exposure of ad’s, and no real metrics with conversion data that is accurate.
Lots of ghost reporting on ad service platforms
Reporting – Informational summaries, monitoring
Analytics – Visual data exploration, meaningful insights
_______________________________________
What data should be a part of both? KPI’s
In order to bring analytics to the forefront of data-driven decision-making, we need to build a framework for success. Let’s go over each of these steps in detail.
Collaboration is the first step in unlocking capabilities for your analytics.
Working together by establishing a committee to oversee the next steps is crucial. The Profit Optimization Team in it’s current state is a great starting point. Stakeholders from either IT & Information Management might be a good add as well.
Common Vernacular is the single most important step to unlocking capability. Why?
Metrics that span across divisions not specific to one. Example ROAS
Ex- 5:1 ROAS is not making EBITA / 10:1 on a special offer rate below forecasted ADR is not yielding to successful revenue levels
4 out of 5 dentists agree – 20% disapproval rating
Before any strategic development, a success goal must be defined, not a moving target on the end of a ‘stick’, or only ‘better than what we have now’

Searching & Booking
Ann is looking for a weekend getaway at a hotel with a spa. She begins her search using metasearch, online travel agencies & review sites. After compiling her shortlist, she decides on a property. One of her decision points was based on having stayed with this brand before on previous occasions in other cities; she’s already a known guest. Before choosing where to book, she heads to brand.com to see if their rates are in parity with other offers around the web.
The booking engine begins an API call to gather information to personalize the booking engine. From previous stays on her profile, the room sort is optimized to show Deluxe rooms first. A spa package is displayed first on main availability given her search criteria from 3rd party cookie data. She ultimately decides to book the “Members Only” rate on brand.com in the Deluxe room type, giving her the best possible offer that she was able to find. The reservation add-ons highlight spa treatments, but she needs to do more research on options before committing to a treatment at this time.
Mobile App
In the lead up to the weekend she is booked for her getaway, Ann visits the hotel’s mobile App and searches through spa treatments. She spends time looking at a few options and reads through them vigorously. They all sound so good! After spa, she heads over to view photos of her Deluxe room type, but also checks out some photos of a few Suite options.
This mobile activity information is appended to her profile in real-time.
Trigger Based Marketing
7 days prior to arrival, campaign management deploys a trigger based marketing alert on her app with customized offerings based on her mobile activity. The spa treatments she had looked at were all there, as well as a suite upgrade offer. She decides to book her spa appointment through the app, which displayed real-time spa availability over her stay dates and was showing only a small number of appointments available.
The success of the TBM campaign in converting a spa booking, but not a suite upgrade is recorded to her profile in real-time.
Arrival
During lineup, the Front Desk Manager goes over the upsell strategies for the day based on personalized increment suggestions from the RMS as well as previous offers made for this stay through TBM. Once Ann arrives at the hotel; she is offered an upgrade to the suite she was interested in at $10 less than what she was offered 7 days ago, which she accepts.
We have successfully driven conversion on the Deluxe room type via brand.com and now an upsell into a Suite via the Front Desk.
Play
Ann relaxes in the spa on Saturday. As she exits the spa, Ann drops by the concierge to talk about dinner plans. The concierge, with access to real-time profile information, sees little information on Ann with respect to dining preferences and uses this as a great opportunity to build on her profile for future stays. Their conversation about her food preferences for the evening and in general are cordial, and she decides to dine at the award-winning Italian restaurant at the resort. After the conversation and booking, the concierge adds her general food preferences to her profile.
Attend
On the way to dinner, Ann tweets “Feeling so relaxed after a great spa treatment at “X” hotel”.
The social marketing team likes her tweet and direct messages back to Ann to invite her to a morning yoga class. This team uses predictive analytics provided by the Profit Optimization committee to match cross-sell opportunities based on activities. Ann joins the class and has a fantastic start to her last day in the resort. She is also really impressed with the personal touch there.
Depart
Ann checks out after a great experience at the hotel & spa and immediately writes a positive review upon returning home. All of the touch points from her stay, folio & human interaction, are appended to her profile in real-time.
A few months later she receives an offer for a week-long getaway, which she is planning to redeem.
