The Challenge

A boutique hotel chain with 6 properties in coastal Florida had valuable guest data scattered across three disconnected systems: reservation platform (Cloudbeds), point-of-sale for restaurants/bars, and CRM for marketing. They couldn't get a complete picture of guest behavior—what amenities guests used, dining preferences, spending patterns, or visit frequency. Marketing campaigns were generic blasts to all guests, resulting in low engagement and missed revenue opportunities for upsells like spa services, premium rooms, and dining packages.

Our Solution

Unified Guest Profiles

Integrated reservation, POS, and CRM data to create 360-degree guest profiles with complete behavior history

Behavioral Analytics

Built dashboards showing spending patterns, amenity preferences, booking lead times, and guest segments

Personalized Campaigns

Enabled targeted marketing based on guest segments: spa lovers, foodies, beach families, business travelers

Upsell Automation

Created automated pre-arrival emails suggesting relevant add-ons based on past guest behavior

Results

  • Revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased 28% year-over-year
  • Email marketing open rates improved from 12% to 38% with personalized content
  • Upsell conversion rate increased to 41% (previously 14%) for pre-arrival offers
