With the rapid digitization of the hospitality sector, the industry has come to appreciate the vital role of communication in delivering an exceptional guest experience. Alliants has recently introduced a groundbreaking feature in its app that is set to redefine communication standards in the industry.

This innovative feature, called Guest Messaging, allows guests to interact seamlessly with hotel staff in their preferred language across a variety of digital channels. This not only enhances the guest’s stay but also personalizes their entire experience.

But what makes this feature so groundbreaking?

More than 70% of stays at leading properties use messaging, demonstrating the demand for quality messaging experiences. Furthermore, messaging users experience a 130% increase in average booking value, identifying a significant, profitable market segment.

Additionally, messaging significantly boosts financial outcomes, with users generating ten times the ancillary revenue per booking compared to non-users. This indicates robust potential for upselling and cross-selling, with top properties achieving more than a 35% attach rate of ancillaries, contributing to an annual ancillary revenue of $30 million.

This groundbreaking technology is far from just a passing trend. It's quickly becoming the essential element of guest services worldwide, transforming our approach to interaction and satisfaction in the hospitality industry. With Guest Messaging, Alliants is not merely following the current trends—it's setting the future standard of guest communication.

The Power of Guest Messaging

The integration of messaging with internal hotel systems optimizes communication, facilitating smoother interactions with guests and among staff, which in turn frees up time for delivering personalized services. The result is a significant boost in productivity, guest satisfaction, and ultimately, revenue.

However, the benefits of automated texting extend beyond operational efficiency. It unlocks a myriad of opportunities for engaging with guests, ranging from opt-in marketing campaigns brimming with travel insights and exclusive deals to post-stay “thank you’s” that leave a lasting impact.
