Name of assignment
Communication plan towards customer groups, so you will have to define first what customer groups you see or expect.
Situation
You have set a new strategy for your hotel, taking into account that there is two markets: the leisure market and the business market. Within these market we have the different type of customers (or guests). There never has been a specific plan towards these types: the same communication has been done to all customers; newly arrived, loyal customers, old, young, buyers at a rack rate or last-minute price.
Goal
To make a plan how to communicate more effective, efficient, more in line with the needs and profiles of the customers. You only have to look at customers - clients, these are considered persons who have done any booking
during the last 10 years, or did not book but have been part of the booking party.
In the end this plan should result in lower acquisition costs per booking.
Task, deliverable

- which groups you define
