You've probably heard the news of good deals in this summer. Customer satisfaction is on the rise, according to a study on the JD Power satisfaction index 2014 North American hotel guests. In fact, the study this year found that the hotel guest satisfaction has reached its highest level since the company carried out a systematic review in 2006.
Contribute more than others overall satisfaction is the first and last impression - procedures arrival / departure. This does not mean that new information. What you may not have seen was among the other key findings of the survey:
Gen Y (millennial) guests are more important than staying at the hotel, but in spite of popular sentiment, not necessarily less accurate. This decline is a great opportunity.
Contact the challenges facing the Internet twice higher than any other domestic problem. The negative impact of these problems is relatively constant regardless of whether access to the Internet for free or asked to pay extra for it. Billions in fees collected last year, are necessary because of the increasing pressure distribution costs, but it must be carefully balanced with real value on the customer experience.
Hotel brands, which are seen as an exciting and fashionable receive the greatest number of positive recommendations, while those who perceived neglect of the environment receiving the largest number of negative reviews. Sure, it falls in what we see as the revival of the brand lifestyle in today's market, three companies new life hotel brand announced in the past two weeks.
Hotel guests who choose to brand their hotel in the first place on the price dramatically percentage points to 7% from 2013. The percentage dropped and these consumers are focused on price less satisfied guests between groups. This is the owners of hotels healthy reminder to stay focused on the sectors targeted. If you do not target consumers based on price only, do not sweat without loyalty to their brand. Recognition fit error instead.
The proportion of those who seek depth in their choice of hotels all over the review travel sites on the Internet and other sources by 10% compared to 7% percent last year. It is the biggest number of very committed to the hotel brand, which means the importance of your presence on the Internet can not be stressed enough.
In addition to the highlights above, you've probably heard the Four Seasons tops the luxury segment, and the Ritz-Carlton overtaking race after four years at the top. Seven points on a scale of 1000 points between them. To the casual observer, this change in classification may seem small. After all, is dominated by luxury category of services and consumers are not as focused on the price.
Comparatively, in the medium term is all about consistency. This Drury Hotels continues to dominate the medium term (for the ninth year in a row) and scored 20 points sector higher than its nearest competitor may or may not always result in buying behavior, particularly in the light distribution. Holiday Inn to take top honors in the category in the middle of the full range of service for the fourth year in a row is definitely a good result of the rebranding effort that we have seen tremendous at the Holiday Inn Hotel.
Although the study provides a wonderful opportunity for the winners of each category to generate a large amount of positive buzz in the press, the true value of all the hotel is the story within the story of how ----- Hotels can use these results to have an impact on the customer experience.
Before we do so, let's take a look closer look at the methodology of the study. It's how JD Power ensures that the results are valid and reliable, which reflects the confidence of the average traveler experience and recent stay at the hotel.
Now in its 18th year, measures the comprehensive survey of customer satisfaction across eight sectors of the hotel: luxury. Very upscale. Upscale. A full-service medium term. Medium-term. Economy / budget; the top of an extended stay. And an extended stay. Are examined seven key factors within each segment to determine overall satisfaction: reservations; arrival / check-out service. Room; food and beverages. Hotel services. The hotel's facilities. And costs and fees.
There are 8-10 people working in the study year. It includes the project management team, researchers and statistical, resources, and data processing, and staff who are released quarterly results, and marketing and public relations. In fact, a study in 2015 are already underway. Come down, and the time when this study is working, and starts in June and ends in May.
In total, will be interviews with more than 67,000 people in the recent (within the last 30 days) to stay in the hotel. Frequent travelers do not want to. For example, the research world and called for the target audience, different teams. Plates are the answer to the global market studies to reduce response and pressure on prices rates through the full costs. These people choose the panel agreed on a number of research and motivation based on the widely used in the study is different, and the difficulty involved in finding the "right", etc..
To be included in the annual rankings, must all be a trademark in a number of questionnaires. Not too technical, but this number is also balanced against the size and distribution of the brand. Big chains more complete and which is not entirely surprising because they have more places, and thus is likely that consumers choose to stay with this particular brand.
The biggest surprise for me is that all these 67,000 completed validated individually. What does that mean? You skeptics out there, this means that for the investigation to be calculated and included in the results, and evaluate the JD Power confirms that the hotel is located in the city, which he said the defendant. Homewood Suites evaluation in Mercer County, NJ. Not so fast, it does not open until January 2015.
