Internet Stores
Most
cruise lines and hotel companies sell logo items, on site
and through catalogues. Cruise lines, in particular, have
traditionally offered an array of gifts that can be purchased
by their family, friends or travel agents for delivery onboard.
Hospitality Brands provides turn-key online stores for such
items, which can be sold to guests, friends and family and
travel agents, before and after their trip. HBI's web sites
provide real-time reporting and customer service capabilities,
secure credit card payment, and instantaneous communication
with the fulfillment center (which Hospitality Brands can
also provide).
The program also includes a toll-free call center for customers
who would prefer not to use the Internet to place orders or
request customer service.
Hospitality Brands works with its partners to develop and
implement a coordinated and comprehensive marketing strategy
for their online store, targeting travel agents, friends and
family, guests during their cruise and to past passengers
at home.
Hospitality Brands can transform a valued service for travel
agents and guests into a revenue center as well as an amenity
and customer loyalty retention vehicle.
