How to Choose the Right Strategic Framework for Your Hotel
In an increasingly competitive hospitality market, choosing the right marketing strategy framework is essential to stand out and maximise profitability. From Porter’s Five Forces for competitive analysis to the 7Ps marketing mix for structuring a hotel’s value proposition, different models support different business goals.
For hotels at launch, frameworks such as AIDA and the conversion funnel can help attract guests and improve digital conversion. Established properties looking to improve profitability can use the BCG Matrix to identify which services to grow, rethink or discontinue.
