Treats are the name of the game at Villa Feltrinelli. A reversible bathrobe with towelling on one side and satin-lined on the other? Yes! Acqua di Parma toiletries? Another tick! How about a state-of-the-art music system for an uninterrupted flow of music - ranging from jazz to relaxation - with a bath-time overture quite separate to a simultaneous bedroom rendition? Absolutely! An unpacking service, a personal laundry service and desk sets of hand-printed Venetian writing paper? Yes, yes, yes, and the list goes on!

1. If you want fast results, protect yourself from brandjacking.
2. If you are uncertain of where to advertise, find out where OTAs advertise.
3. The alternative to good advertising is more OTAs. It’s not wrong, it’s just a different strategy.
4. If you think there’s a war against OTAs think again. Almost one quarter of your direct bookings happen because you are on OTAs.
5. Occupancy is a result of the right rates and the right visitors, both are under your control.
6. The USP is never what you think it is. It’s what your guests think.
7. A hotel has three parts to its marketing plan (a) location (b) comfort and (c) value. The best hotels are equally good on all three. But any hotel can excel in one and that is it’s edge.
8. If you can’t track direct results it’s not marketing. It may be PR but thats a whole different field with a whole different view.
9. The four key performance indicators of your website are: Turnover generated, visits to site, conversion rate and of course budget spent to make that happen. Learn to read them in your sleep, they’ll save you lots of hot air.
10. The easiest way to increase rates is to increase service and guest satisfaction; because you can’t move the hotel nor renovate it over-night.
