    Rosewood Hotels: Case Study

    Rosewood Hotels and Resorts (Rosewood) is an organization that owns and manages a number of boutique and high end properties. However, each location is not tied to the Rosewood name in any way and is currently perceived and marketed as not being part of a “chain” but closely tied with its locale. Now, senior management is considering a new branding strategy that would link all current and future properties to the Rosewood name for brand recognition. The intent is to increase the number of times a guest returns as well as the number of properties that guests visit. Market research that has been conducted shows that if a new corporate branding were to be used, guest’s average number of visits per year would increase from 1.2 to 1.3 and the guest retention rate would increase to 21.67% from the current 16.67%. Additionally, 10% of guests may also stay at other locations which is a 100% increase from the current 5%. As there are risks associated with the proposed new branding, the organization must now determine if the increase in profit will outweigh these risks.…

Marriott and currently operate around 3,000 lodging properties in the United States as well as 67 in other countries (Malhotra, 2010, p. 517). Marriott is a name that is known by most people and continues to grow and improve its services throughout time.

    Ritz-Carlton Case Study

    The two different types of (CRM) Customer Relationship Management are operational and analytical CRM. “Operational CRM supports traditional transactional processing for day-to-day front-office operations or systems that deal directly with the customers. Analytical CRM supports back-office operations and strategic analysis and includes all systems that do not deal directly with the customers. According to our text book the primary difference between operational CRM and analytical CRM is the direct interaction between the organization and its customers.” The Ritz-Carlton has a Customer Loyalty Anticipation Satisfaction System (CLASS). “The system stores guest preferences, and alerts the front desk clerks when guest has stayed at another Ritz-Carlton and their likes and dislikes.” The data information for the CLASS system is analytical CRM, but by giving access to all front desk clerks company wide it moves forward to help with operational CRM. By knowing who the customer is when they arrive and knowing what they like and dislike it makes the customer feel important and wanted. Another way they use operational CRM is by allowing every staff member to have $2,000 to resolve a guest’s problem without management approval. Not only does that help your customer, but it also helps the relationship between managers and employees. By putting together all the six steps of customer service that is how the Ritz-Carlton became a world-class customer-service business.…
