Why does IHG One Rewards Loyalty matter?

The hospitality industry is a tremendously competitive one, with guests having seemingly endless options of places to stay while traveling. Having a loyalty program, like IHG One Rewards, sets your team up for opportunities to build trust and loyalty with guests, which leads to repeat guests and consistent revenue streams. Kipsu can help you acknowledge their status by tier, educate them on qualified perks, and answer any questions they may have quickly. When guests know you have their back, they’ll want to come back.

If a guest has a great experience at your property, chances are they’ll be back on their next trip to the area, even if surrounding competition has lower prices. 77% of guests surveyed said they would choose a brand they love and trust over one they don’t have personal experience with.
On top of their willingness to pay higher rates than non-members, loyalty members make up 30-60% of all room revenue, keeping your revenue stream strong and consistent.
Fast, friendly service and support from staff who are easy and convenient to connect with. In fact, 80% of customers say these are the MOST critical satisfaction factors that determine their opinion about a stay. Kipsu and Hilton Honors help close communication gaps at one’s fingertips
Repeat customers not only contribute to per-guest revenue growth, but will tend to increase their spending with upgrades or add ons.They are willing to pay more for a room, are less sensitive when prices go up, and actually decrease operating costs by requiring less staff time. These factors add up to a 57% increase in room revenue.
