Ideas for hotels to promote ​on the download

Over the years, we have discovered that guests love receiving complimentary gifts--
our programs and books can be a part of that treasured experience. 
​
Below are some ideas that your hotel can use to get the word out!.

 Ideas to promote program:

1.  Create a card promoting program with QR code that goes with the room key folder

2. Create a bookmark featuring the On The Download QR Code (We can provide examples)

3.  Place on the download  in your reservations system (when someone books their hotel room they receive a complimentary list of books and QR in their confirmation code)

4.   Place information about program on hotel blog and website

5.   Make instagram post to promote program

6.   Put graphic pamphlet with QR code in a frame and place in lobby (perhaps a side table) and in the  business center/library room)

7.   Place the QR code on the room service pamphlet , by the pool, by the spa..(wine and a good book!)

8.    Place the QR code in the bathroom next to the bath (bath and a good book!)

9.    Include Bedside Reading in hotel newsletters
