Hey! Need a Hotel Marketing Expert?

Liz Howe is the director of a specialist hotel and hospitality marketing company, Hey Marketing. Available for fractional marketing positions, ad-hoc projects or an ongoing support.

Marketing for Hotels and Hospitality Businesses

A member of the Hotel Marketing Association. I have 25 years of experience in the hotel industry. I was Director of Marketing for two prominent UK hotel groups. I set up hotel marketing agency Hey Marketing in 2003. Since then, I have worked freelance for independent hotels and holiday let companies. I also sit on the advisory board for a local tourism association.

My hotel marketing company can help you drive sales in the short break, wedding, restaurant, corporate and conference markets. With my Design Studies degree and the CIM Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing, I can write your hotel marketing plan AND execute it. Whether you own or manage a hotel or are an agency seeking a hotel marketing specialist, please get in touch


HOTEL MARKETING STRATEGY & PLANNING

What services does your hotel sell and where/when do you need more guests? Are you a wedding venue, a short break destination, a city conference hotel or a coastal holiday let? I’ll write a hotel marketing plan to help you build hotel occupancy and drive revenue in the segments you need.

I’ve worked with many hotel hotel group directors, hotel general managers, revenue managers, central reservation teams, hotel sales teams, chefs and restaurant managers. I’ve managed hotel acquisitions and refurbishments; I’m well versed in the industry.


HOTEL MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

hotel marketing communications

Implementing a marketing plan is often where hotels need help. Hey Marketing services will always be results focused to increase awareness, reposition brands, or increase bookings and enquiries.

  • Hotel digital marketing (website development, SEO and CMS management, social content creation etc.)
  • Online listings for hotel OTA listings and Consortia programs.
  • Copywriting and design of hospitality communications: brochures, menus, in-house literature, posters etc.
  • Hotel direct marketing, CRM management to increase bookings and RevPAR.
  • Wedding open days and events on-site to increase footfall.

HOTEL LOYALTY & REPUTATION GROWTH

While your ops team manages your customer service, I’ll help you manage your online reputation. I can reposition your hotel brand, improve Google rankings and online visibility. I’ll also help you capture data to increase direct bookings and reduce your reliance on Online Travel Agents.

Press releases, hospitality award entries and working with local influencer groups can help grow your brand. I’ve written press articles for brand exposure and winning tourism awards. I’ve also managed external PR agencies through multi-million-pound hotel refurbishments.



25+ Years’ Experience in Marketing for Hotel Groups, Independent Hotels and Hospitality Businesses.
