Social Media im Tourismusmarketing: Wie Urlaubsanbieter in sozialen Medien Sichtbarkeit und Direktbuchungen steigern
by André GebelDieses Buch erklärt, wie Hotels, Regionen, Airlines und weitere touristische Anbieter mithilfe von Social Media höhere Sichtbarkeit, mehr Empfehlungen, mehr Direktbuchungen und somit mehr Gewinn erzielen können. Durch die Angebotstransparenz im Internet wird der Feriengast zum vermeintlich besten Angebot geführt, was sinkende Margen und steigende Abhängigkeit für die Reisebranche zur Folge hat. Zwar galt Social Media schon früher als Erfolgsrezept für die margenschwache Tourismusindustrie, doch vereinzelte Facebook-Posts und ein vernachlässigter Instagram-Account geben noch kein eigenständiges Profil ab – und bewegen keinen potenziellen Urlauber zur Direktbuchung.Anhand von anschaulichen Praxisbeispielen zeigt der Autor in diesem Buch, wie Tourismusanbieter Social Media professionell und strukturiert für Direktbuchungen nutzen können, welche Rolle Mitarbeiter und Influencer spielen, was die einzelnen Kanäle genau leisten und wie man mit außergewöhnlichem Storytelling Auslastungen jenseits der 90-Prozent-Marke erreicht. Ein Buch für alle Player der Reisebranche, die ihr Profil schärfen, ihre Margen vergrößern und neue Marketingkanäle entdecken wollen, um auch künftig wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben.
Social Media im Unternehmen – Ruhm oder Ruin: Erfahrungslandkarte einer Expedition in die Social Media-Welt
by Christine Rogge and Ralf KarabaszDer Grundsatz „Wissen ist Macht“, auf den sich Generationen von Führungskräften noch stützen konnten, ist spätestens mit dem Durchbruch der sozialen Medien passé. Informationen verbreiten sich heute im Unternehmen in Windeseile und auf immer neuen Wegen. Auch haben Mitarbeiter ganz neue Zugangswege zu Informationen. Soziale Medien erschließen ihnen zugleich die Möglichkeit, sich positiv oder negativ über das Unternehmen, seine Strategien und Führung zu äußern.Mit dem Einzug der sozialen Medien steht daher die gesamte Kommunikationskultur von Organisationen auf dem Prüfstand, wenn beispielsweise das Handeln der Führung transparenter wird und unmittelbar durch die Mitarbeiter diskutiert und bewertet werden kann. Führungskräfte sind deshalb gut beraten, sich aktiv den Herausforderungen durch das wachsende Potenzial der sozialen Medien zu stellen.Damit Unternehmen und Verwaltungen durch die Dynamik der technischen Neuerungen nicht zu Getriebenen der Entwicklungen werden, gilt es, die Auswirkungen genau zu betrachten. Erfahrungen müssen ausgetauscht werden, um Probleme frühzeitig zu erkennen und entsprechende Reaktionen erarbeiten zu können. Dazu werden in diesem Buch Beispiele aus der Praxis aufgezeigt und sowohl aus der Sicht von Führungskräften als auch von "geführten Mitarbeitern" kommentiert.
