New York, NY (PRWEB) – February 14, 2012: HeBS Digital today announces the launch of the 2012 Benchmark Survey on Hotel Digital Marketing Strategies, Budget Planning and Best Practices. Following the editions taking place from 2007 to 2011, the sixth annual Benchmark Survey asks hoteliers what digital formats and methods they use to reach potential and current guests, what digital marketing practices generate the highest ROIs, how they choose to allocate their marketing budgets between different mediums, and more.
Held for the sixth year in a row, the goal of the 2012 Benchmark Survey is to assess hoteliers’ 2012 digital marketing priorities, as well as provide the industry with insight into recent evolutions in digital marketing strategies. The results and analysis of this survey, provided by HeBS Digital, may assist hoteliers in building better ROI-centric, cost-effective digital marketing solutions to help meet and exceed their goals.
Key findings from the 5th Annual Benchmark Survey conducted in 2011 can be found on the HeBS Digital blog.
The survey should take no more than five minutes to complete, and all participants will be entered to win a Google+ Business Page Set-Up and a Facebook Custom Tab Design.
“HeBS Digital launches this survey year-after-year for two reasons: to provide the hospitality industry with results and actionable recommendations, and to assess the annual changes in hoteliers’ priorities, digital marketing budgets and industry dynamics,” said Max Starkov, President and CEO of HeBS Digital. “The following affect budget planning for hoteliers: the state of the economy, technological advancements (and their adoption by consumers), changes in search engine algorithms, emerging distribution channels such as the mobile web and customer engagement channels like Facebook, Twitter, etc. The Benchmark Survey helps us evaluate how these issues affect and influence hoteliers, and how their properties will react to the new competitive landscape.”
General managers, revenue managers, sales and marketing managers, e-commerce managers and professionals at hotels, resorts, hotel management companies and hotel chains are invited to participate in the 2012 Benchmark Survey on Hotel Digital Marketing Strategies, Budget Planning and Best Practices.

Mobile Website Identifies the Nearest Loews Hotel With Geo-Locating
NEW YORK, NY (November 7, 2011) – Loews Hotels today launched the mobile website www.loewshotels.com/m featuring location aware capabilities built by HeBS Digital, the leading digital marketing and direct online strategy firm for the hospitality industry. The mobile website serves automatically on all mobile devices, has a touch-screen friendly design, is fully optimized for mobile searches, enables reservations through the Loews Hotels’ mobile booking engine and offers the ability to detect the location of the mobile device accessing the site.
“As more people use mobile searches we are adapting to provide readily available information to existing and prospective hotel guests at the time they need it most,” said Lise Struwing, Loews Hotels Director, Web Strategy. “As part of our focused mobile strategy at Loews Hotels – from a state-of-the-art mobile website to mobile marketing, geo-locating and other mobile services, we are catering to the modern mobile traveler.”
The addition of the ‘location aware’ feature to the mobile site enables Loews Hotels to provide a potential guest immediate information and data that enables them to know where the closest property is to their current proximity. A mobile device holder in New York City will automatically receive a prompt to book the Loews Regency Hotel and indicate location-specific special offers and packages. The ‘location aware’ capability helps streamline the guest experience by filling in addresses faster and providing directions personalized to the guest.
Google reports that 19 percent of all hotel queries are conducted on mobile devices, and 58 percent of mobile bookers made a hotel reservation on the same day of arrival and within 20 miles of their present location. Loews Hotels and HeBS Digital are pioneering the next generation mobile web to anticipate the needs of the hotel guest.
“What the customer wants from mobile is information that is local and immediate,” said Jason Price, Executive Vice President of HeBS Digital. “We see mobile as an opportunity to engage the customer at every stage of the travel experience. Adding a ‘location aware’ component to the mobile experience is only the beginning.”
