In today's hospitality industry, dominated by big players, mending luxury brands that become shabby is more challenging than ever. Betting on luxury turnarounds is like playing roulette – the stakes are high. The pandemic has made it even harder for smaller brands to regain market share as larger competitors have grown and now have deeper pockets. The pressure on margins creates a vicious cycle in which struggling brands can't match their rivals' marketing muscles. I have noticed that once the city's gems, many hotels started cutting corners on service and stopped or delayed updating their products or offers, including maintenance, to save costs. Guests noticed reviews plummeted, and it became an uphill battle to restore their former glory. Staying focused, innovating, and leveraging every opportunity to maintain your brand's edge is crucial. Don't let your brand go shabby! #BrandFocus #LuxuryBrands #HospitalityIndustry #MarketShare #StayAhead #BrandStrategy #InnovateToWin

Lifestyle is sensory, Narrative is emotional. Brands, especially in hospitality, have operated under a “neutral” stance, tapping into certain aspects of our daily lives that they can translate in a hotel setting. But for many, that’s no longer enough. As we become more impassioned by causes, more aware of the impact of our buying decisions, and share our travels more openly - it’s becoming more and more important to align our stays with our beliefs and become hyper aware of the brands that we support. https://lnkd.in/eNbwYf_X
