Create Podcasts for Event Planners<\/span> <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Millions of people listen to podcasts. If you create a podcast about your hotel, about the events that happen in the hotel, planners you&#8217;ve met, and more, you can attract event planners to your hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about the events that your hotel has hosted, the challenges you faced, and how you dealt with them. Talk about how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/event-marketing-ideas\/\">specific events<\/a> were brought to life in your hotel, and how the audience reacted to the event.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Create_an_Online_Course_on_Your_Hotels_Expertise\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2. Create an Online Course on Your Hotel&#8217;s Expertise<\/span> <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the end of the day, no one knows your hotel better than you. Event planners might want to learn more about your hotel, before they book the venue for their event. One of the best hotel marketing ideas is to prove that you have industry knowledge, and provide people with useful information about the hotel industry, through an online course.<\/p>\n<p>Consider focusing the course on an area that your hotel is particularly known for. If this area happens to be food, then focus your course on that. If your hotel is known for hosting events, then prioritize your course on that.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created the course, you can host it on various platforms such as Udemy, Skillshare, Teachable, and more.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/restaurant-business-plan\/\">Read also: How to Write Your Restaurant Business Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Build_Free_Templates_for_Event_Planners\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. Build Free Templates for Event Planners<\/span> <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Consider creating templates that event planners find useful. Create printables and downloadable material as well. This kind of hotel marketing strategy allows you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/b2b-sales-leads\/\">generate leads<\/a> while offering benefits to the customer.<\/p>\n<p>You can create an information sheet for planners to fill out or a template that they can use to calculate costs relating to the event. You can also create a checklist of information on everything your hotel offers, so the planners don&#8217;t miss out on anything.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Invite_Industry_Experts_to_Your_Hotel\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>4. Invite Industry Experts to Your Hotel<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another one of the best hotel marketing ideas is to invite an industry expert to your hotel for a question-and-answer session. Interview them at your hotel, and record what they say. Then, publish the interview through your hotel&#8217;s blog, or social media, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/email-newsletters-with-templates\/\">send out an email newsletter<\/a> with a link to the video.<\/p>\n<p>The big benefit of inviting an industry expert is that you&#8217;ll be able to build awareness about your hotel to their audience. Should you invite experts with large followings on social media, you can see quite some growth in footfall.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/restaurant-marketing-ideas\/\">Read also: Proven Restaurant Marketing Ideas for 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Create_a_Virtual_Tour_of_Your_Hotel\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">5.

For event planners, they can easily check what the exterior and interior of your hotel are like, through the tour.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40877\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40877\" style=\"width: 514px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-40877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802.jpg\" alt=\"pexels photo of a hotel by helena lopes \" width=\"514\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/pexels-helena-lopes-2017802-595xh.jpg 595w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40877\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Helena Lopes (Pexels)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This helps them assess whether your hotel would be perfect for their business or not.

Ask event planners who are hosting events at your hotel, whether you could broadcast a small segment of the event online. Use Facebook Live and Instagram Stories to tell people about what they can expect from your hotel.<\/p>\n<p>You can also create a walk-around tour of your hotel, get an employee selected as the ambassador to answer the most common customer questions and more. You could even ask the chef to create recipe videos that you can then upload online.

The aim is to attract not just out-of-station customers, but also local residents, to dine at the hotel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To make it easier for diners to explore seasonal specials and locally sourced dishes, hotels can create a free QR code that links to an interactive menu. This provides instant access to the latest offerings while reducing the need for printed menus, making the experience more seamless and eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Look for produce that is in season, and easily available locally.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/event-marketing-ideas\/\">Read also: Creative Event Marketing Ideas to Get People Excited<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Run_Some_Fun_Contests\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>9.
