Challenge:
In a competitive environment such as the hotel industry, the management of the customer experience after the stay is a critical factor. Derby Hotels was looking for a system that would allow it to:
Obtain agile and reliable feedback for all your establishments.
Personalise communications with guests according to hotel, language and location.
Clear information flows to individual hotel managers and corporate management.
To have analytical tools that facilitate strategic decision-making.
Ultimately, the challenge was to transform the management of satisfaction surveys into a modern, automated and results-oriented process, capable of generating valuable insights for the organisation.
Solution:
An end-to-end ecosystem in the Salesforce Marketing Cloud
At Digital Response, as an agency specialising in Marketing Automation and CRM, we design and implement a comprehensive solution in Salesforce Marketing Cloudwhich will combine automation, personalisation and advanced analytics.
The project was structured around three main pillars:
-
Post-stay communications
With Salesforce Marketing Cloud, an automated delivery system was implemented, allowing each guest to receive a personalised message, tailored to their language, hotel and profile.
These messages not only invite customers to value the experience, but also convey the brand identity and reinforce the relationship with the customer after their departure.

2. Optimised response experience
Pages and forms were developed within the platform's ecosystem that make it easy for guests to leave feedback in a few simple steps.
The experience is designed to be clear, multilingual and consistent with the image of each establishment.
In addition, different scenarios were envisaged to ensure a smooth process, from the invitation to the confirmation of the response.
