When I first reviewed the Loyalty

Strategy Template, I felt overwhelmed.

There are a lot of items to consider to

drive Loyalty operational excellence at

our hotel.

We didn’t do everything that is featured

all at once. But we’ve created a rhythm

that works.

My recommendation is to use the

Loyalty Strategy Template as a starting

point and then build on the items that

work at your hotel.
