In terms of Awareness of the hotel brands in Grimsby the Humber Royal is doing well and is the 4th most know hotel in Grimsby nationally. However if it wasn’t for the fact there is website called Hotel Elizabeth that is splitting the traffic by perpetuating the old name the Humber Royal would be top.

Route To A Booking The diagram below show possible routes guests can make from a search for Hotel Grimsby to a booking for the Humber Royal

AnalysisThe hotels affiliate marketers don’t appear in the natural search listings and are therefore resort to buying traffic to generate bookings and revenue from the hotels they list in Grimsby. This is a slightly strange position to be in as the Humber Royal is paying a commission on the bookings they generate from Adwords marketing.

The Humber Royal could simply advertise in the same space with Adowrds and get bookings directly with out the need to pay commission to the affiliates. Advertising directly would most likely lead to a great number of bookings as when a user clicks the advertise for one of the affiliates they land on a page with not just the Humber Royal but many of the hotels competitors

E. SWOT AnalysisSWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors. Opportunities and threats are external factors.

 

 

Technical Weaknesses ExplainedBooking Process

Analysis:Flaws with the booking system can be defined as

• When you come to book a package such as a golfing break. You have to remember to only select a weekend on the availability page for the package to then magically appear in the package booking page.

• Website users will expect when you click Book now on the golf page that they have made there selection for the golfing package and that the availability will be shown for this package only. This is not the case and you have to remember to select the golf package later in the booking system. The booking process is also split across a number of pages that could be simplified into one single booking page.

• The booking process is also split across a number of pages that could be simplified into one single booking page. • Booking process is rather convoluted• Unduly complex with to many steps and could be made much simpler for customers especially new customers.

As the booking process is were the majority of conversion can be lost it is important that this is made as easy and elegant as possible. These lessons have been learned time and time again in the e-commerce market and show that a bad cart or booking process can have seriously detrimental to a sites conversion to sales with many people becoming frustrated and not completing the sale or in this case the booking.

Lack Of Measurable ROI And Marketing Successes And FailuresThe reason for the lack of measurable Return On Investment (ROI) and marketing successes and failures is due to the fact that success can’t be measures accurately to demonstrate this I have created the graphic below to show the current marketing feedback loop

 

Analysis:As the booking system does not allow feedback to the industry standard analytical software which measures conversion and tracks sources of the the conversion. We thefore can not currently measure success of online marketing activity reliably or provide any detailed insight and or feedback
