According to the SoLoMo Manifesto

What is SoLoMo? According to the SoLoMo Manifesto, “SoLoMo is described as the

convergence of Social, Local, and Mobile into a unified approach and is used with integrated technology to amount to the proverbial Holy Grail of marketing.” Social Local Mobile consists of social networks (So) geo-location (Lo) and mobile devices (Mo).

Social Marketing The social part is made up of mobile phone apps

such as Facebook or Twitter that allow communication through hotels, friends and networks.

Other than Facebook and Twitter, another social networking application that benefits the hotel guest is called LivingSocial or Groupon.

Location Marketing

The Geo-Location marketing approach refers to the GPS based social media platforms such as Google, Bing, Facebook, Twitter and FourSquare. The importance of a location-based engagement opens a direct network between the consumer and brand that is unlike any other. Engagements like check-ins and tagged tweets are being shared with a consumer’s social graph via Facebook, Twitter, Google and FourSquare.

Mobile Marketing The mobile marketing approach gives the

customer the ability to use the internet at anytime and anywhere to check out reviews, find special offers, and obtain coupons that the hotel is promoting. Social Local Mobile users are part of an internet community, and this community is growing very rapidly.
