OUR LOYALTY PROGRAM

Source: Swiss International Hotels & Resorts


What is a Loyalty Program?
A loyalty program is a structured marketing effort that rewards, and therefore
encourages, loyal buying behavior – a behavior which is beneficial to the firm.

Why SWISS-SELECT?
SWISS-SELECT allows hotels to focus on their best revenue generated customers and
improve the customer satisfaction levels. Loyal customers buy more and are often willing
to pay more, which boosts the revenues for hotels. By increasing loyalty, profitability
increases and the customers extend the time they spend at the hotels.

It is Very Important to remember that:

 A SWISS-SELECT member's endorsement is more powerful to their friends and


family than any advertising campaign.
 With SWISS-SELECT, Swiss International Hotels & Resorts compete with other
large hotel chains, in driving revenue and market value.

SWISS-SELECT provides to Swiss International Hotels & Resorts a loyalty


program, whereby:

1. SWISS-SELECT members earn and redeem points across all Swiss International
Hotels & Resorts worldwide, which allows the hotels to reach a wider targeted
audience. Whether the SWISS-SELECT members decide to stay for leisure or
corporate travels, they have a range of hotel properties to stay at locally,
regionally and globally, while earning or redeeming points from their previous stays
and special conditions.

2. SWISS-SELECT members can redeem points at redemption partners, such as


airlines and retail partners, across the global network. These redemption partners
are of additional value to Swiss International Hotels & Resorts while exposing the
hotels to various markets and interest groups. Below are some of the partners:
3. SWISS-SELECT members can also earn and redeem points at other carefully valued
hotels/ hotel chains globally. These hotels mainly based in regions where Swiss
International Hotels & Resorts are not currently present, allows the Swiss
International Hotels & Resorts to also tap into these hotels’ markets and
customers, whom are potential advocates of Swiss International Hotels & Resorts.
Below is a selection of these hotels:

4. Swiss International Hotels & Resorts are able to better know their customers, their
needs and preferences though the SWISS-SELECT database. With full overviews of
the customers’ profile, which includes birthdays, interests, usage of dining & hotel
facilities, preferences, dietary requirements, etc…, the hotels’ team is able to stay
in contact with SWISS-SELECT members and anticipate how to satisfy them during
their next stay.

5. Enrollment, earning and redemption of points are easy and stress free for the
members. The Front Office and the F&B outlets team always ensure that a non-
member arriving at the hotel is registered and that they are aware of their
benefits. This can be either explained or provided in writing to these new members.
The processes are all completed by the hotel team with no disruption to the guests,
allowing them the ease to stay and enjoy the hotels and its facilities.

6. Swiss International Hotels & Resorts are able to segregate and understand their
best quality customers. While knowing and understanding these customers, the
hotel is able to build a relationship while ensuring that these members are treated
and valued appropriately. Bearing in mind that all SWISS-SELECT members have
the highest priority because of the minimal costs to attract and retain them.

7. With the integration with SWISS-REZ and SWISS-PMS all customer profiles
including their interest and preferences are available in real-time to the hotels
team members. This includes also the members’ bookings. The real-time available
information ensures easy and swift processes in attending to the members their
needs and enquiries.
8. SWISS-SELECT drives incremental revenue by encouraging the travelers to book
directly with the hotel. These bookings would have otherwise been produced by
third party agencies whereby a commission would apply. Therefore at all times,
rates and availability for the SWISS-SELECT members should be made available on
SWISS-REZ and SWISS-SELECT’s online booking engine. The members have to
also be aware of the member benefits.

9. Swiss International Hotels & Resorts are able to keep their existing customers and
limiting that the customers stray to competitors in the local or regional market.
With its worthwhile benefits, SWISS-SELECT ensures that the hotel receives
returning customers time and time again.

10. SWISS-SELECT members are constantly in contact and receive updates from
Swiss International Hotels & Resorts through the marketing activities, whether it be
the print materials or online marketing activities. Because of their emotional
attachment to SWISS-SELECT and the hotels, these members are the major
customers who will fully show interest in the hotels’ activities and offers.

SWISS-SELECT, allows hotels to rediscover and redefine the


customer experiences while driving incremental revenue value.
