Hotel Order and Ads

Let's talk about giving your hotels the spotlight they deserve and using ads to your advantage. Resiada's Hotel Order & Ads feature is a nifty tool that lets you strategically manage how hotels are displayed and how you can integrate ads into your event's hotel listings. This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about making strategic choices that influence your attendees' decisions and enhance the visibility of your promotional content.

Accessing Hotel Details

• From the Navigation Bar: In the back office, click on ‘Manage’, located on the right side of the event navigation menu. Click on ‘Hotel Order & Ads’ in the dropdown menu.
• From the Event Setup: In the event setup wizard, find the ‘Hotels’ tab and select ‘Hotel Order & Ads’ button at the top right hand corner of the Hotel Selection.

Adjusting Hotel Display Order: A Simple How-To

• Rearranging Hotels: Just use the arrows next to each hotel listing to change the order.
• Strategic Placement: Think about what influences attendees' choices – like how close the hotel is to your event, its pricing, and the amenities it offers. This is where you can get creative and strategic at the same time.

Adding and Managing Advertisements: Catching the Eye

• Creating Ads: Click on 'Add Advertisement' to get started.
• Naming Your Ad: Give it a name that resonates with your event theme or the hotel's unique offerings.
• Choosing the Link Type:
  • No Link: For purely informational ads.
  • Link to Hotel: Direct attendees to a specific hotel’s page on the Resiada platform.
  • External Link: For anything outside the Resiada platform, like a sponsor's page or special offers.
• Grid: Add your advertising content here. For a list view, we recommend a size 816px wide by 238px height, and for a grid view, we recommend 450px wide by 652px height. Only JPG/JPEG/PNG file formats are supported, with a max file size of 1mb per image.
• Targeting Your Audience: Use the ‘Display For’ section wisely to reach the right audience with your ads. The default is Everyone, but you can choose to show ads only to a particular sub block.

Best Practices for Using Hotel Order & Ads

• Balance and Fairness: Make sure every hotel gets its fair share of the limelight.
• Relevance is Key: Ads should be more than just eye-catching; they should add value to your attendees' experience.
• Stay Updated: Keep changing the order and ads to reflect any new promotions or changes in hotel availability.

The Hotel Order & Ads functionality in Resiada is your secret weapon for not just organizing your event, but making it a hit. It's about presenting options in a way that resonates with your attendees and using ads to add an extra layer of engagement. By mastering this feature, you're not just organizing an event; you're creating an experience that starts right from the hotel booking process.
