  1. Teach your customers how to buy direct and get the best perks and benefits.
  2. Share information that can help your customers have an amazing and memorable stay – (tips on better sleep etc.)
  3. Show your customers where to go to find the best nearby services and attractions, what’s new, what’s amazing and not to be missed.
  4. Help customers discover the unique aspects of your property they weren’t necessarily looking for on your website.
  5. Go behind the scenes by introducing customers to key employees. Show off your offices where all the action happens. Talk about your company philosophy,
    team culture and reasons for doing what you do.
  6. Add customer voices to your emails by featuring reviews, endorsements, photos and other user-generated content.
  7. Become the authority in your market niche by sharing “insider” news and information. The more connected you are with everything going on around you, the more you can share. After all we are creatures of continual learning, discovery and curiosity.
  8. Pave the way for a good experience with pre-event emails, including opportunities to upsell or add value to the event.
  9. Improve onboarding for your new customers with information that helps them find what they want faster or navigate better around your website.

  10. Tell stories about interesting vendors, unusual products, important points in your company’s history or how your company gets involved with its community.
