Lodging Interactive Releases Social Media Benchmark
Report - Free Report Subscription for Hotels
MAY 4, 2009 - Lodging Interactive, a leading interactive marketing agency servicing the hospitality industry announced the launch of its Chatter Guard Monitor Reportsm, an industry-wide social media benchmarking report. The Chatter Guard Monitor Report provides monthly marketing intelligence that reports social media trends broken down by hotel segment and service attribute.
The first hospitality industry report of its kind, the Chatter Guard Monitor Report enables hotels to benchmark their own Chatter Guard attribute scores against their industry peers and competitors.
"With hundreds of hotels subscribing to our Chatter Guard Social Media Monitoring Service, we are able to collect very important social media data related to consumer satisfaction and user generated content. We manually review all comments and assign a scoring value to each service attribute comment. For example if a guest review states a very poor dining experience at a property, we would score the dining comment as a 1 for 'poor' on a scale of 1 for poor to 5 being 'fantastic'. Our client dashboard enables hotels to view their ongoing scoring broken out by service attributes. Now, imagine if this same scoring methodology was available by each hotel market segment...well now it is with the Chatter Guard Monitor Report," stated DJ Vallauri, Founder and President of Lodging Interactive.
The Chatter Guard Monitor Report segments service attribute data according to J.D. Power and Associates' hotel segmentation criteria, which segments hotel properties according to the categories of Luxury, Upscale, Mid-Scale Full Service, Mid-Scale Limited Service, Economy/Budget, and Extended Stay. This analytical overview identifies the service attributes in each hotel segment and whether or not they have increased or declined in the perception of previous guests based on their review scores.
