You’re not alone!

(Shout out to all the independent hotel brands and small family-run hotels out there.)

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of other (equally awesome) accommodation options travelers can choose from in your area. And every one of those chain hotels, boutique hotels and resorts, ski chalets, guesthouses, and B&Bs are marketing their properties online.

That’s right.

It’s a hotel marketing battlefield 💥.

And the frustrating truth is, capturing a reader’s imagination; inspiring interest in what you have to offer; and then turning booking intent into a confirmed booking is no easy feat. If it were, you’d be fully booked all the time, right?

Gaining people’s attention in the hyper-crowded hotel industry is a real challenge.

After all, you’re up against international hotel chains and their gargantuan budgets 💰. You also have to compete with the “live like a local” experience (plus often lower rates) offered by homestays and holiday home rentals. But that’s not all. If growing awareness and grabbing attention weren’t tough enough, another struggle is reaching—and appealing to—the right people!

We’re talking about people ready and willing to become guests.

Not those “just looking” around your website. Nor those who like 👍🏻 your aesthetic posts or leave heart-eye emoji comments on your IG—and that’s the end of it. Also, maybe less of those who book now only to cancel said reservation a short while later. Talk about disappointing!

Also, how do you successfully engage a younger generation (read: Gen Z and Millennials) of travelers?

Because let’s face it: Young travelers can’t be ignored. They’re a force to be reckoned with today—and they’re the guests of tomorrow!

So, how do you attract more of YOUR ideal 👌 hotel guests?

Whether you’re targeting solo travelers, couples, groups of friends, (multi-generational) families, senior travelers, or business tourists—start by making sure your hotel stands out.

When you dare to be different, you cut through the noise 📣!

Let me tell you what doesn’t work and that’s doing what every Tom, Dick, and Harry is doing.

Being a copycat—“if it works for that well-known brand, then it’s bound to work for mine”—simply won’t cut it.

Here’s why.

If you mirror others’ pretty websites, yours is no longer something special. If you imitate others’ writing styles, yours doesn’t pull readers in because it’s just more of the same. And if you insist on using tired hotel copywriting cliches, well, that’s just boring 😒. Trust me, your readers have 100% seen it before—on every other website before they clicked through to yours!

What wins in the hotel booking war? Strong branding.

A memorable brand—a hotel that people can’t wait to stay at—begins with stand-out hotel copywriting. Yes, selling more rooms starts with the right words.

Because without the name recall, reputation, or marketing prowess of an international hotel chain to rely on, those thoughtfully-chosen words suddenly carry so much more weight!

Now don’t get me wrong: Copywriting isn’t a silver bullet for hotel online marketing problems. But it is the foundation of a robust marketing campaign—and vital for your independent hotel’s survival.

What you write brings your brand to life; paints a picture of what setting foot on your property will be like; and builds anticipation. And on the technical side, the right words can give your website a tremendous boost on search engines. They improve your ranking and, therefore, your hotel’s findability 🔍 anywhere in the world.

In short, hospitality copywriting is so much more than sticking to your brand voice and getting your tone right. It’s about describing your hotel’s features—and sharing your one-of-a-kind story—in a way that gets you found and has people excited about becoming your guest. So excited, in fact, that they don’t hesitate to hit the “book now” button!

That’s exactly why you want to work with a savvy hospitality copywriter.
