These days mobile technology is growing by each passing year and Digital marketing is moderately growing and changing along with it.
Here are some of the trends we look forward to see in the upcoming days.

Think about updating your brand assets. Such as updating pictures on your website and social media channels, etc. It’s important to keep images up-to-date and fresh to present the best image of your property. By revisiting brands will help to drive the updated content and social media strategy. It helps to attract the type of guest you are looking for.
- Mobile compatible Website
Mobile traffic is increasing day by day. Google prefers mobile-friendly web pages, and it will likely become more and more important day by day. Not only will it help you to get more SEO traffic in both the short and long term, but it will also help you with your conversion rates because a smaller percentage of your traffic will bounce.
If you’re not optimizing your content for mobile users, you’re behind the curve and missing out on traffic (and wasting some of your current traffic).Try to put them into effect as soon as possible, and measure whether there are any changes in mobile traffic or engagement.

Email is still one of the best ways to market to potential guests. This simple strategy can boost conversion and increase hotel bookings by as much as 12%. There are many ways to get creative to engage your guests and even cross-promote on other channels. Email Marketing is the better way to market to your guests. So you can attract your guests by several kind of emails such as

- Focus on Online Feedback
Reviews good way to gauge your property performed over the past year. Guests’ review will give you greater imminent into what you are already doing well as, and where there is room for improvement.
Your reviews on Trip Advisor, Yelp, Google, etc. matter when guests are looking for a place to stay in an unknown city.
