<p>When we welcome new customers to Stampede and show them the marketing feature, there are often&nbsp;<strong>3 big questions when it comes to sending times and frequency</strong>. So, we’ve gathered these 3 common email marketing questions together and grilled our own marketing team for some answers to share with you.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-when-is-the-best-time-to-send-an-email-campaign"><strong>1.</strong> <strong>When is the best time to send an email campaign?</strong></h4>



<p>No doubt, the right timing has a big impact on the success of your email campaigns.&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.marketo.com/articles/the-best-time-to-send-emails/" target="_blank"><strong>Research shows</strong></a>&nbsp;that the best sending time for the&nbsp;<strong>hospitality industry is between 8 and 10am</strong>, whereas&nbsp;<strong>marketing emails get the highest results at 4pm</strong>. Unfortunately, there is no one size fits all time for best email performance. It’ll be specific to your industry, business and customers.</p>



<p>A good starting point is to look into your social media&nbsp;<strong>stats</strong>&nbsp;to find out when your customers are online and engaging with your content. Historic email data, especially your open rates, also give you a hint on which times usually work best for you.</p>



<p><strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.bluecorona.com/blog/mobile-marketing-statistics/" target="_blank">Around 75% of consumers will access their emails on their phones</a></strong>. Think about when your customers might check their inbox during the day and are most likely to have time to read it. This will probably be at times before work, during their lunch break and after work/late evening. However, the right time also depends on the customer demographic, e.g. families have different daily habits than business people.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The&nbsp;<strong>actual email content matters&nbsp;</strong>as well. Your longer monthly newsletter is something your customers can read after work or even during the weekend. Whereas your short and punchy lunch offers will ideally land in their inbox around the time people start thinking about where to go for food.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Which day is the best to send emails?</strong></h4>



<p><strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.marketo.com/articles/the-best-time-to-send-emails/" target="_blank">Statistics show that Tuesday and Thursday</a></strong>&nbsp;are in general the best performing days of the week for emails.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However,&nbsp;<strong>always consider your content and its relevance</strong>. Are you trying to fill in empty tables due to cancellations? Or are you trying to promote any upcoming events in the next month? Regardless, you should always send time-sensitive offers based on their own timeline before considering overall industry best practices (ideally within your ideal time slots).&nbsp;</p>



<p>And again, dive into your own data and compare different weekdays to the weekends to see where you can get the best responses. You can also start your own A/B test and experiment with different days. Social media analytics will also provide you with the days of the week.</p>



<p>There’s only one golden rule for days:&nbsp;<strong>avoid public holidays</strong>&nbsp;if you can.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3.</strong> <strong>How many times a month is considered the optimum for emailing customers?</strong></h4>



<p>The important bit here is to&nbsp;<strong>be consistent</strong>&nbsp;and to come up with your own schedule. If you do it randomly, you might end up sending too many or not enough. Watch out for increasing opt-out rates, this is a sign of emailing too frequently. And always bear in mind,&nbsp;<strong>only send out emails that provide value</strong>&nbsp;to your customers and not just because it&#8217;s time to send one.</p>



<p>Your loyal customers especially will appreciate tailored offers and updates coming through on a more regular basis. They’re highly engaged and want to hear from you.</p>



<p>Your schedule could be weekly, bi-weekly or only monthly. You could, for example, do a monthly newsletter recap about your company and send out emails with offers in between whenever relevant.</p>

3 Big Hospitality Email Marketing Questions Answered


<p>For decades, hospitality businesses have trusted in the power of human labour to keep their venues running. <strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI)</strong> promises more efficient operations and better-personalised experiences for their customers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But while AI has comes with huge benefits &#8211; from <strong>automating mundane tasks to better understanding customers’ needs</strong> &#8211; it also poses potential drawbacks.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Before you decide whether or not integrating AI into your hospitality operations is right for you, take some time to consider both the pros and cons we lay down in this blog article.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-ai-is-used-in-the-hospitality-industry"><strong>How AI is used in the hospitality industry</strong></h2>



<p>AI is being used in a variety of ways in the hospitality industry, from chatbots that assist with reservations to orders to automated systems that streamline check-in and check-out processes and marketing and sales automation.</p>



<p>It also comes with the ability to predict customer needs and preferences, which can help with recommendations, personalised service and upsell.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-advantages-of-using-ai-in-hospitality"><strong>Key advantages of using AI in hospitality</strong></h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">1. Increased operational efficiency and productivity</h4>



<p>With AI, businesses are able to <strong>streamline their operational and administrative processes and automate tasks</strong>. This allows for a significant increase in productivity and better resource management.</p>



<p>Moreover, with less manual handling required, there is a reduced chance of human error. Especially when dealing with customer data or uploading and updating spreadsheets, which can be prone to mistakes.</p>



<p>Marketing teams can massively improve their efforts with AI. For example, use data insights to <strong>build defined customer segments</strong>. The foundation for email and SMS campaigns that really resonate with customers and drive them back to their venue.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With clever <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/downloads/hospitality-marketing-automation-playbook"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff3a9b" class="has-inline-color">campaign automation</mark></a></strong>, operators can additionally save valuable time and staff can focus on more crucial tasks.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. Reduced costs</h4>



<p>With the rise of AI, there are new opportunities for hospitality businesses to cut costs.</p>



<p><strong>Routine and repetitive tasks</strong> can easily be automated, saving on labour costs. Besides, by implementing AI, operators can bypass ongoing staff shortages.</p>



<p>It also allows for more <strong>efficient and accurate decision-making</strong> backed by real data insights. So without relying on guesswork, operators can ultimately reduce unnecessary costs in the long run.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Improved customer experience</h4>



<p>The key to retaining customers is to ensure that they have a memorable experience when interacting with your brand. This is where the use of AI comes in.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Businesses can create a much more <strong>personalised and tailored experience</strong> that is based on customers’ preferences and behaviours.</p>



<p>Moreover, AI can help to connect all of a customer&#8217;s interactions with a brand across various digital channels. This contributes towards a more <strong>unified and seamless online experience</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. Better forecasting</h4>



<p>In today&#8217;s fast-paced environment, having accurate and timely forecasts can mean the difference between success and failure.&nbsp;</p>



<p>AI has the ability to <strong>analyse vast amounts of customer data</strong> in a second and provide insights into revenue opportunities that may have otherwise been missed.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Perhaps even more importantly, AI can <strong>predict market trends</strong>, giving businesses an edge in their strategic planning. By leveraging the preciseness of forecasting, businesses can make smarter decisions, allocate resources more effectively, and ultimately, increase their bottom line.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-main-disadvantages-of-using-ai-in-hospitality"><strong>Main disadvantages of using AI in hospitality</strong></h2>



<p>Although AI has the potential to take business operations to the next level, it comes with its share of disadvantages that should also be considered.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">&nbsp;1. Impersonal service</h4>



<p>One major issue with AI is the <strong>loss of the human touch</strong>. Whether it&#8217;s automated customer service systems or self-checkout kiosks, these rather impersonal experiences can negatively affect customer satisfaction.</p>



<p>AI systems can never fully replace human intuition and judgement, which can also lead to errors and inaccuracies in service.&nbsp;</p>



<p>No doubt, the human element is vital to creating a warm and welcoming environment. It&#8217;s through genuine connections with staff that customers feel valued and it&#8217;s those connections that keep them coming back time and time again.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2. System failure</h4>



<p>Running a hospitality business is a complex task that requires a lot of moving parts to function well. The success of operations depends heavily on all of the <strong>systems working properly</strong>.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, when these systems fail, they can <strong>cause serious disruption</strong> to the entire operation. Rooms may be double-booked, orders may be lost or misplaced and customers may be left waiting for extended periods of time.</p>



<p>As a result, unsatisfied customers and negative reviews can quickly pile up, causing lasting damage to the business.&nbsp;</p>



<p>To mitigate the risk of system failure, it’s important for hospitality operators to have a plan in place in case their AI tool breaks down. By <strong>being proactive and prepared</strong>, they can ensure a seamless experience for their customers.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">3. Technological limitations</h4>



<p>The hospitality industry requires technology tools that cater to their particular needs. Customer interactions happen both online and offline. Generic AI tools might not align with their <strong>specific requirements</strong> and might therefore create more work than taking off the workload if not set up properly.</p>



<p>Even with the right technology tools to hand the various systems used need to interact and talk to each other. Without those <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-common-data-integration-flaws-in-hospitality-tech"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff3a9b" class="has-inline-color">integrations</mark></a></strong>, the data flow is disconnected and operators are not able to generate a single customer view.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">4. High implementation costs</h4>



<p>The implementation of these tools often comes at a <strong>high cost</strong>, making them unaffordable for smaller venues. This situation has forced operators to carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding if it is worth investing in AI tools.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While AI can bring about significant returns, it may not be a worthwhile investment for all businesses. However, as technology continues to advance, we may see a rise in more cost-effective solutions that cater to a range of budgets.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-summary"><strong>Summary</strong></h2>



<p>In conclusion, there are pros and cons of using AI in the hospitality industry that should be taken into account.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Technology can be used to <strong>save money, increase efficiency, improve customer experience and enable more precise forecasting</strong>. However, many operators are still struggling with the lack of human element when it comes to dealing with customers and their needs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Furthermore, technological limitations should not be disregarded as they might also cause certain problems when it comes to adapting AI to existing processes.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Finally, before making any investments in AI, operators should <strong>evaluate the costs</strong> associated with them as this could highly affect their financial situation.&nbsp;</p>



<p>All factors taken into consideration, applying AI technology correctly can prove extremely beneficial for restaurants and the hospitality industry in general.</p>

<p>The financial and operational benefits of a <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/what-is-a-hospitality-crm-system-a-full-guide"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff3a9b" class="has-inline-color">Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system</mark></a></strong> are immense for any type of business. </p>



<p>Though CRMs also come in all shapes and sizes, and not all are suitable for the hospitality industry.</p>



<p>We had a look at the main differences between a generic CRM and a hospitality-tailored one.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-generic-crm-vs-hospitality-crm"><strong>Generic CRM vs. Hospitality CRM</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Generic CRMs</strong>, such as HubSpot or Salesforce, are <strong>centred around sales</strong>. Their main core features are for example lead management, forecasting and task management. They therefore often fall into the B2B software category.</p>



<p><strong>Hospitality-specific CRMs</strong> on the other hand put the <strong>customer in the focus</strong>, which makes them B2C. Their features are designed to better communicate with customers and create personalised experiences to drive long-term loyalty.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Main differences</strong></h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Customer journey</em></h4>



<p>The hospitality customer journey covers both <strong>online and offline interactions</strong>. This makes it much harder to track than a complete online journey an e-commerce business might have.</p>



<p>In order to map out the full journey operators rely on <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/5-common-data-integration-flaws-in-hospitality-tech"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff3a9b" class="has-inline-color">integrations to get access to more data points</mark></a></strong>. Even though well-known CRM providers offer a whole range of different integrations, they are mostly not hospitality related.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Customer profiles</em></h4>



<p>Customer profile management looks entirely different for B2B and B2C.&nbsp;</p>



<p>B2B contact management can be quite complex with associated companies, stakeholders involved, deals attached, etc. None of which is needed in the hospitality context.&nbsp;</p>



<p>What matters here is to <strong>build a single customer view</strong>. Such a 360° customer profile should include basic contact information but more importantly, store preferences and previous online and offline interactions.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Reporting &amp; Analytics</em></h4>



<p>Hospitality KPIs are quite unique compared to other industries. They are more focused on <strong>visit data and marketing ROI</strong>. For example, in-venue visits and retention rates but also table covers, loyalty or WiFi sign-ups. </p>



<p>Contrary to generic CRMs, these can all be easily accessed in a hospitality-specific one and operators can use them to build their own reports. </p>



<p>There might be the option to add them to generic ones, however, this will come with additional costs.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><em>Marketing</em></h4>



<p>Equipped with CRM insights marketers can create <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/blog/how-to-create-personalised-marketing-campaigns-with-your-crm"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff3a9b" class="has-inline-color">personalised and tailored campaigns</mark></a></strong> that bring customers back.</p>



<p>So integrated email &amp; SMS marketing is probably one of the most important CRM features for hospitality businesses. This also covers the option for setting up <strong>marketing automation</strong>. </p>



<p>A CRM is meant to improve operational efficiency. The best time-saving marketing tools are without doubt <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/downloads/category/Email%20Templates"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ff3a9b" class="has-inline-color">templates</mark></a> and pre-build customer segments</strong>. However, they need to be relevant to the industry to be really effective.</p>



<p>For a quick overview, we’ve summarised the most distinctive differences in the table below:</p>

What Makes A Hospitality CRM?


<p>With restrictions being eased, more and more hospitality venues are getting back to hosting regular events. Customers now have a bunch of upcoming events to choose from. Check out our free event promotion ideas to stand out and <strong>make sure you create enough hype around your events.</strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-css-opacity"/>



<p><br>First of all, it’s important to <strong>leverage every communication channel </strong>for your promotions. This way you can maximise your reach and create as many touchpoints with your customers as possible.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Also, don’t forget to remind customers that the wait is over and your regular events are finally back.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s a short checklist covering the most important channels you should use for your free event promotions and some ideas to get you started.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-social-media"><strong>1. Social Media</strong></h4>



<p>Social media is probably the best channel to <strong>reach a wide range of people and keep them updated and engaged</strong> about what&#8217;s happening at your venue.</p>



<p>Though posting alone won’t do the trick. There’s more you can do to boost your promotions.&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Pin your post with monthly events to the top</li>



<li>Create unique hashtags for recurring events and encourage customers to use them</li>



<li>Share upcoming events for the week in your stories</li>



<li>Create a Facebook events page</li>



<li>Feature your events on local Facebook groups</li>



<li>Use images from previous events for a sneak peak</li>



<li>Come up with a competition around the event, e.g. &#8220;caption this&#8221;, &#8220;who would you choose as your event buddy?&#8221;</li>



<li>Share short videos about pre-event behind-the-scenes prep</li>



<li>Create FOMO for limited availability &#8211; “don’t miss your chance”, “only few spaces left, be quick”</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Email &amp; SMS&nbsp;</strong></h4>



<p>Email and SMS will help you better reach your <strong>existing customer base</strong>. You can also <strong>segment your customers</strong> for more targeted promotions. E.g. for sports events or ladies&#8217;/men&#8217;s night.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Send out a monthly events newsletter, including what’s coming up, featuring important dates to save in the calendar</li>



<li>Include all relevant event information and a clear booking CTA&nbsp;</li>



<li>Jump on exclusivity and offer early access to special events for your loyal customers only</li>



<li>Reward referrals and encourage customers to “tell a friend”</li>



<li>Use your subject line to create a sense of urgency, “We’re almost full, hurry up”, “The wait is over, [event] is almost here”</li>



<li>Send out reminders as the event date approaches</li>
</ul>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Website</strong></h4>



<p>Lots of your customers will check out your website to find out what’s going on in your venue. <strong>Keeping your website content well maintained</strong> is therefore crucial.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Update your website with upcoming events and make sure to remove past ones</li>



<li>Use pop-ups or banners to boost limited availability or last-minute offers</li>



<li>Post your events on discovery pages or local community pages&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Pro tip</strong>: Use relevant keywords around your events on your website, especially in your titles. E.g. “pub quiz in [&#8230;]”, “beer tasting event”, so that your events will also show up on search engines.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. In-Venue Promotion</strong></h4>



<p>Of course, you can head over to your printer now and print flyers to stick them all over your venue but there’s a better, more cost-effective way.&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Use your <strong>digital assets</strong>, such as your Guest WiFI, for <a href="https://youtu.be/HPDbVHRv0xs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>in-venue promotion</strong></a> to send automated messages once customers have signed up to your WiFi</li>
</ul>

<p>From the scrumptious afternoon chai to the fun night out or the quick lunch stop, there is something for everyone which makes the restaurant very popular with locals.</p>



<p>Zindiya implemented <a href="https://stampede.ai/how-it-works/"><strong>Stampede</strong></a> to expand their mailing list and bring customers back with personalised marketing campaigns.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Challenge</h2>



<p>With competition picking up in the neighbourhood, Zindiya were looking for a quick way to <strong>collect compliant customer data</strong> to build their mailing list.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In the past, they were getting customer contact details only from their booking system, which led to slow database growth. Shivani Kenth, Director of Zindiya Streatery &amp; Bar, explains the situation: “If one person is making the booking for four, we only get the details of the main booker. But how do we get data from other three?”&nbsp;</p>



<p>Zindiya were also looking for a way to <strong>improve their WiFi log-in experience</strong> for their customers. As Shivani remembers: “The WiFi we offered before was a bit fiddly. They had to ask for a password, rather than being able to connect automatically.”</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-solution">The Solution</h2>



<p>Shivani came across Stampede when looking for a captive portal solution and it immediately ticked all the boxes for them.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For Shivani “It’s a <strong>simple way to get people connected to the WiFi</strong> and get their data at the same time which we can use to market to them.” Plus, returning customers will automatically be reconnected when they come back, which positively impacts their experience.</p>



<p>The setup at the venue was really easy and so far, Zindiya have been able to grow their database to more than <strong>3,700 GDPR-compliant customer contacts</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>They have also started to use their contact database to send out bi-weekly newsletters with customised offers, as well as personalised birthday emails. As a result, <strong>more customers come back to their venue</strong> on a regular basis.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The campaigns have already generated over <strong>£11,700 in return visits</strong> and Shivani is very pleased with the results they’re getting.</p>



<p>Having used other email providers before, Shivani also highlights the <strong>simplicity of creating branded campaigns</strong> within Stampede. “The platform is really good with different fonts and offers a wide range of colours. It’s easy to move things around and make it look nice”.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coming Up</h2>



<p>Shivani and her husband are already looking at implementing additional Stampede tools, such as Bookings and Loyalty, that would allow them to further expand their database.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On top of that, <strong><a href="https://stampede.ai/get-reviews/">Stampede Reviews</a></strong> is of particular interest to them. With their current solution, they have no control over the reviews that get published and are unable to automatically push them to 3rd party sites, such as Tripadvisor and Google.</p>
