I think it's important we remember to track this stuff so we can see what's working. We must remember the "why" of social media marketing instead of getting caught up in the "how" Great point, Trent.

We must remember the “why” of social media marketing instead of getting caught up in the “how”

I would also add that having followers is great, but it's smart to track who is clicking on your links and coming to your website and most importantly if they are booking. By using a URL shortener like http://bit.ly/ or http://kl.am/ you can track how many people clicked on your link and analyze if your Tweets are working for you.

Hotels need to look at ways they can invite their existing fans from elsewhere. Exactly. Hotels need to look at ways they can invite their existing fans from elsewhere.

I think the hotels need to be sharing information about their area or info that is otherwise useful to the audience. If a hotel was just broadcasting deals, I probably wouldn't follow them either!

If you have a huge newsletter subscription base, why not use it? :-) Mark.

A full 50% didn't even know restaurants were tweeting these days. Even worse, of the remaining 50%, 36% didn't follow ANY restaurants. I bet hotels would face similar, if not worse, statistics. I guess my question is, why would I as a consumer ever want to follow a hotel on twitter? Yes, it would be great to hear about exclusive deals, but my study of hotels on twitter has lead me to believe that is rarely what you get. Even if hotels did use twitter to unload last minute inventory, I would only care when I am actively searching... Can you clarify the consumer value proposition? Thanks, Brett Josiah,
