Hotels Gain Deeper Insight & Can Further Personalize Experience for Repeat Guests

Dallas, Texas and Munich, Germany -  October 1, 2013 – TrustYou, the market leader in online reputation management (ORM) for the hospitality industry announced today its partnership with Digital Alchemy, a leader in customer relationship management (CRM) and e-marketing solutions for the hospitality industry. The partnership offers hotels a seamless ORM/CRM integration that will prove invaluable, especially with repeat guests.

"Combining Digital Alchemy’s CRM system together with TrustYou’s superior semantic analysis technology allows hotels to gain deeper insight into its guests and truly personalize the entire experience,” said Don Hay, Founder and CEO at Digital Alchemy. “With this partnership, our clients will be able to further analyze guests’ feedback and personalize a repeat guests’ stay based on prior guest satisfaction survey (GSS) feedback.”

Dubbed “ORM meets CRM,” this new integrated data strategy allows Digital Alchemy’s clients to send post-stay questionnaires automatically upon a guest’s departure through the TrustYou survey platform. Once a guest completes the survey, the feedback is pushed back into Digital Alchemy’s CRM system and can be analyzed within TrustYou’s monitoring tool. The added benefit with this partnership is that  all feedback can then pushed into a hotel’s property management system (PMS), allowing hotels to see a guests’ feedback upon checking in.  For example, if in past surveys or online reviews a guest stated the room they had was too small or their request for more pillows was not met, that feedback will come up on the PMS upon check in.  The front desk associates can then reference that they have been upgraded to a larger room in response to the feedback they shared on the last stay or that more pillows are awaiting them in the room.

"ORM meets CRM is a space that TrustYou is pioneering.  It gives hotels a significant advantage to use big data and guest feedback to perfect the guest experience.  Hotels can now show guests that they’ve been heard and guests can see the hotels are taking the feedback seriously and acting up on it,” said Alan Young, SVP of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at TrustYou. “We are excited about this partnership and look forward to working with Digital Alchemy and its hotel clients.”
