Monday blues, life in a tumble dryer

February 8, 2010

Right now I’ve never been busier in my life! It’s a complete whirlwind – and the only thing I wish I had more time for is my family – my lovely kids Christina,  and Chris.  Although we are looking to change all this in June when we plan to migrate back to the wonderful familiar surroundings of Sweden, yes Caroline’s home country. That will be a good time to try and make some fundamental changes in my life and make time for more quality time with the family.   But for now, I really look forward to Friday nights when we can pack up and spend the weekends together at least. That’s what it’s all about!

Damn it is only Monday!

Hotels interacting with Social Media

Hotels interacting with Social Media

As some of you might know I am co-owner of IGH Hoteles in the South of Spain, a small independent hotel group in Andalusia with big ambitions. Currently we have 5 properties in Ronda and Malaga, but have further new properties being added to the portfolio over the next few month, the first addition is scheduled to open in March in Seville.

We have just completed the first group website for IGH hoteles and we are very pleased with the result. I am the architeqte behind the structure of the stite and it was my aim to introduce a hotel website with a Social media twist. Utilising Twitter for announcing special offers and news. A Facebook group that will offer a loyalty sheme for all members and a Flickr account to hold a vast image libary for all the properties and the area about the hotel.

When you are looking to book a hotel online, its my opinion that you are looking at so much more than just pictures of a bed, bath room etc.You want to get a feel for the hotel property I went to see and stay in each our own properties and attempted to photograph the “property soul” as well as the area just around the property so that the prospective client would look at get a feel for what could be installed for them.

The site utilises Social media to boost internet rankings and over the next few months I hope to see the site popularity rise and more guests coming to our properties, you are all welcome!
