Its benefits have been of benefit to different industries, and today, most well-known brands have their own branded magazines.<\/p>\n<p> <!--more--> <\/p>\n<h3><strong>How did it start? A bit of history. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A hundred years ago, a John Deere tractor company chose a radical new way in the quest to get farmers&#8217; attention: instead of paying for advertising or hiring salespeople, they decided to <strong>create a custom print magazine<\/strong>, called <em>The Furrow<\/em>. The magazine was designed to inform farmers about new trends and developments in the industry. The company has risen to fame, to date with more than 1.5 million copies distributed across 40 countries.<\/p>\n<p>{{{cta(&#8216;bb2971b9-bf36-4c36-8edc-75223dba5208&#8217;)}}<\/p>\n<p>The success of John Deere&#8217;s company has motivated many to invest more in <a href=\"\/blog-tourism\/travelers-journey-methodology-hubspot-content-etapas-traveler\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>content marketing<\/strong><\/a>. Now, virtually every company that has a marketing strategy is working on creating quality content for their customers. Going hand-in-hand with content marketing, the <a href=\"\/blog-tourism\/branded-content-hotels\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>branded content strategy<\/strong><\/a> helps create memorable associations with a brand. While there is a <a href=\"\/tourism-blog\/branded-content-content-marketing-examples-hotel\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">difference between content marketing and branded content<\/a>, these two strategies together create a seamless connection for your marketing team.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"why\">Why create a corporate magazine for your hotel? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A corporate magazine serves many purposes. According to a 2013 Custom Content Council study, the <strong>main reasons to invest in publishing a magazine are customer education, retention and brand loyalty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#1. Provide more value to your customers<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Any service or product is about <strong>providing value<\/strong>. Hospitality is no exception. Hoteliers seek to achieve guest satisfaction not only by providing the value customers expect, but also by &#8220;wowing&#8221; them with unexpected services.<strong><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2074697\/Iconos_Diversos-34.png\" alt=\"corporate magazine\" width=\"300\" style=\"width: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<h4>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<h4>Your hotel brand&#8217;s website can become just that: a &#8220;wow&#8221; effect during your guests&#8217; stay.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, not all corporate magazines provide value. Be sure to design a magazine in a way that provides your guests with educational content of interest, create <strong>articles in story formats on topics that are important to the customer<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t try to oversell your hotel; your magazine is not a commercial brochure. Include articles about the <strong>culture and history of your destinations<\/strong>, about <strong>art<\/strong> and <strong>music<\/strong>, about <strong>news<\/strong> that might interest your guests.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><strong>#2. Promote your brand<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As part of branded content, your magazine is a means to promote your brand through personalized content. By choosing <strong>themes related to your destinations<\/strong>, the magazine will not only promote your hotel destinations, but also your own establishments.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/2074697\/Iconos_Diversos-62.png\" alt=\"corporate magazine\" width=\"300\" style=\"width: 300px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;\"><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<h4><strong>At the end of the day, a magazine represents the story a brand tells about itself<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can increase your brand&#8217;s reputation by informing your customers about your other properties and the different destinations where they are located. This way you are increasing the chances that, on a future occasion, your satisfied customers will choose your brand once again.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3. Increase loyalty<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Studies show that customers tend to trust brands less and less. To increase customer loyalty, you need to work on <strong>building strong and lasting relationships<\/strong> with them. We all know that the best strategy to increase trust is to use user-generated content. You can also leverage this format for your magazine. <strong\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve your marketing strategy by creating a corporate magazine for your hotel!
