Webdirexion has a niche focus helping hotels & inns achieve increased profitability via smart, progressive marketing practices and here we write articles with tips and tactics for innkeepers and hoteliers. We’re members of the Professional Assn. of International Innkeepers, and the Association of Independent Hospitality professionals to stay in touch with needs and solutions in the industry.
One great way we can help Hotels grow their revenues is by converting more site visitors that are not yet ready to make a reservation, but will get on a mailing list.
