酒店選擇營銷渠道模式還需要有優秀的渠道成員,酒店營銷渠道的管理與控制
酒店如果選擇并確定了間接營銷渠道的模式,還需選擇優秀的渠道成員,才能成功地利用中間渠道開展相應的營銷活動。渠道成員可能是個人、組織或者企業單位,對酒店而言統稱為客戶。由于酒店中間商數量眾多,規模、實力、經營特點都有所不同,所以,酒店務必仔細了解未來中間商的相關信息(如行業背景、信用情況、資金、業務技術、經營水準等),進行綜合評價:
(1)中間商的銷售能力。中間商的營銷經驗和能力與市場反饋搜集對酒店產品的銷售影響很大,建議選擇最接近酒店目標顧客的中間商。一個優秀中間商能利用有效的營銷手段管理顧客購買,且擁有成熟的銷售網絡,不僅便于顧客購買,還能及時向酒店反饋最新的市場信息,如客人偏好流向、旅游發展趨勢等,為酒店制訂正確的營銷策略提供更有效的依據。
(2)該中間商的經營范圍與形象是否與本酒店目標一致。未來的中間商應有本
酒店VI設計產品的市場,或者非常愿意去開拓此類目標市場。如本酒店目標是東南亞旅游市場,則選擇以經營東南亞旅游團為主的旅行社較為理想。另外,如果酒店追求高質量、高品位、奢華高檔的形象,選擇中間商時也應仔細 別,以免達不到預期的銷售效果,卻適得其反。
(3)中間商的經營實力和誠信度。中間商的經營規模、財務調度能力好壞、誠信狀況是否良好都是酒店必須考慮的內容。通過其經營規??梢灶A測它能為本酒店帶來多少預訂量和銷售額;其財務狀況可以反映它抗風險能力,財務狀況不好,一旦出現問題會影響酒店的正常經營;中間商的誠信也十分重要,過去,國內有的酒店由于不了解國外旅游代理商的信譽情況,使得大量賬款付之東流。對于直接委托境外旅游中間商代理銷售的酒店,尤其應該重視這個問題,最好通過我國駐外使館或其他機構進行調查,這才是良好合作的重要基礎。
盡管有這么多原則需要幾近苛刻地選擇,但有時決定權并不一定掌握在酒店手中,旅游中間商同最終顧客一樣擁有選擇權,尤其是那些規模大、實力強、信譽好的旅游中間商。
選定旅游中間商開展代理銷售業務過程中,還應加強日常的渠道管理與控制,以促進有好和諧的合作關系,減少渠道摩擦與沖突,取得相對理想的營銷效果。
