Email Marketing & Newsletters

Turn Every Guest into a Returning Guest

Most hoteliers invest significant sums in acquiring a new guest.

Yet few make effective use of communication with them after booking or after their stay.

Email Marketing is one of the most effective digital marketing channels for hotels because it enables direct communication with guests who already know your brand.

At Marinet, we create comprehensive Email Marketing strategies for hotels, with the aim of increasing direct bookings, generating more repeat stays, increasing upselling revenue, building stronger relationships with guests, and making better use of your guest database.

Email is not simply a newsletter. It is one of the most important links in the Hotel Booking Funnel.

Why Does a Hotel Need Email Marketing?

A guest who has already stayed at your hotel knows the quality of your services, the location, the staff, and the guest experience. They are far more likely to return, provided you maintain effective communication with them.

Email Marketing helps you to:

increase direct bookings
reduce dependence on OTAs
increase repeat bookings
promote special offers
increase the Lifetime Value of each guest
build a loyal audience

We Do Not Simply Send Newsletters

We design the entire communication strategy. Each email has a different purpose and is sent at the right time.

Email Marketing at Every Stage of the Guest Journey

Communication starts before the booking and continues after check-out — supporting every stage of the guest journey.

Before Booking — guests can receive information about:

special offers
accommodation packages
seasonal campaigns
new services
new experiences

After Booking

Automated emails keep guests informed and prepared for their stay.

Automated emails can include:

booking confirmation
arrival information
online check-in
directions
opening hours
useful information

Before Arrival

This increases the average revenue per booking.

You can promote:

room upgrades
breakfast
airport transfers
spa treatments
excursions
early check-in
late check-out

During the Stay

Email Marketing can support information about events, activity recommendations, hotel services, and special offers.

After Check-out

This increases the likelihood of a repeat booking.

Communication continues with:

a thank-you message
a review request
loyalty offers
special discounts
seasonal campaigns

country of origin
language
families
couples
business travellers
OTA guests

frequency of stays
season of stay
interests

Personalisation

name
previous bookings
favourite room type
language
market
previous purchases
preferences

Email Marketing and Direct Bookings

Email Marketing is one of the most important tools for reducing dependence on OTAs.

Instead of paying commission again for a guest who has already stayed at your hotel, you can:

communicate with them directly
offer them exclusive benefits
direct them to the official website

Email Marketing and CRM

The greatest value is created when Email Marketing is connected to a CRM.

This allows you to make use of:

booking history
preferences
total guest value
previous communications
loyalty status

Integration with the Booking Engine enables:

Artificial intelligence can help with:

content creation
personalisation
selecting the most appropriate sending time
analysing results
predicting behaviour
