Cendyn is creating analytics platforms with AI and machine learning to provide detailed insights and prescriptive actions for hoteliers.

💰 Guest segmentation boosts hotel revenue by 10-15% and profits by 10% over 5 years, compared to non-segmented strategies. Hotels typically use 3.5 segmentation criteria, and CRM systems are instrumental in personalizing guest experiences. For successful segmentation, hotels should enrich guest data, start with basic segments, utilize CRM filters, gain insights, create specific content, and measure impact to refine strategies. Using tools like Bookboost’s CRM can automate personalized guest journeys. Implementing segmentation from pre-booking to post-stay enhances satisfaction, loyalty, and revenue. ????
