Hotel Social Media Content Calendar & 365 Post Ideas: Hotel Content Planner Spreadsheet
Full description
For hotel marketing managers, owners and general managers who run the hotel's social accounts with a small team. Every day of the year already has a post idea that fits a weekly theme: rooms, food and drink, people, local area, offers and seasonal. You set the status of each post, log the results a week later, and the workbook shows which themes bring reach, saves, link clicks and bookings.
Save with a bundle: this template is also in the Hotel Sales, Marketing & Revenue Bundle, 14 templates for $39 instead of $100. All 141 templates are in the All-Access Hospitality Template Library for $79.
