		<description><![CDATA[The social location space is shifting rapidly and bursting with innovation. Right now, it’s less important for a hotel marketer to know which social location app will lead, and more important to design a social location strategy that compliments the objectives of your loyalty program. What is Social Location Marketing? Social Location Marketing is when a business uses location-sharing apps as a marketing channel. With the steady rise of U.S. smartphone use, more hotel guests are downloading geo-social apps so they can share their location, connect directly with brands, and search for real time rewards. Check Ins Create a Powerful Brand Impression When socially minded consumers share their location they are in effect creating a powerful impression for a brand.  Their message announces, “Look where I am right now” and suggests that those in their network should be there too.

You&#8217;ll also read my in-depth interview with Aqua Hotel and Resorts&#8217;s Amber Watt.  Ms. Watt is Director of Internet Strategy for the boutique hotel chain and recently made the bold move to switch her company&#8217;s websites over to WordPress. Benefits of Using WordPress Money-Saving It’s not uncommon for a business to pay $10,000 and up for a basic website featuring the advantages and power of today’s WordPress website. E-commerce businesses can be looking at 10 times that amount to build a site. An old-school HTML website built from scratch is too often painfully expensive and time consuming, requiring the services of an outside agency.
