CRM on Twitter: September 2010
With travel costs spiraling out of control and customer expectations on the rise, guests have become increasingly difficult to appease. Still, as you can see in one of this month’s features (“The Hospitality Suite,” page 30), some in the lodging industry are finding that social media—particularly Twitter—can help bridge the divide. The tweets gathered here include companies profiled in that feature—Best Western, Gaylord Hotels, and the Roger Smith Hotel.
As for us, feel free to check in anytime at www.twitter.com/CRM; blogs and live-twittering appear at www.twitter.com/destinationCRM. Reach us directly by starting your tweet with @CRM.
