High-quality customer service is of central importance to our agency.
Our efforts
We use targeted sales calls in Germany, Switzerland and Austria to strengthen the presence and awareness of our partner hotels and resorts. Through direct contact with potential customers and business partners, we create sustainable relationships and promote sales. We organize FAM trips with tour operators, travel agencies and media professionals to give them the opportunity to experience our partner hotels and resorts in person. These exclusive guided tours give visitors a 180-degree overview and a comprehensive understanding of the destination, the offerings and the hotel. This makes it even easier to sell them the experience or to bring them closer to a potential audience.
Our sales events, including get-togethers, lunches and dinner events, create a relaxed atmosphere for making new contacts and maintaining existing business relationships. These events aim to highlight the unique advantages of our partners and to engage directly with the participants.
We organize showcases and educational presentations to highlight the unique features and offerings of our partner hotels to a carefully curated audience. These events serve to generate interest and increase awareness. By regularly contacting hotels and agencies, we ensure that their occupancy is improved in the low season/their need periods. We pay particular attention to increasing the average daily rate (ADR) and revenue per available room (RevPAR) to increase profitability.
We actively support our partners in generating high-quality leads and help convert them into bookings. Through targeted marketing strategies and sales measures, we ensure that potential customers are aware o our partners' exceptional offerings.
