About This Book
After the Corona crisis, the development of a new Marketing concept is imperative and vital, especially for medium-sized privately managed hotels and restaurants.This Marketing concept helps to increase sales, save time, give structures, control costs, but also to win new customers and motivate regular customers to return.In times like these, a stringent Marketing concept offers the opportunity to use scarce financial resources specifically for Marketing measures. Spontaneous decisions, impulse actions or Marketing mis-investments are no longer necessary. This Marketing concept provides a comprehensible guideline, which, if implemented correctly, leads to demonstrable and well-deserved success.

2. Market Analysis
2.1 Analysis of offers
2.1.1 Quantitative analysis of offers
We carry out a sales analysis to see how your turnover has developed over the years/months in each sales division/offer. You should go into detail. A hotel breaks down its sales by room type (single room, double room, suites, etc.) and by sales from the food & beverage sector (restaurant 1, restaurant 2, bar, lobby, etc.). The following table provides a (simplified) example
Example: Hotel - turnover per year (10 T €)
Sales | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
Hotel | 350 | 345 | 366 | 369 |
Restaurant | 170 | 172 | 175 | 182 |
Other | 55 | 60 | 64 | 68 |
Total | 575 | 577 | 605 | 619 |
