Take 45 Minutes to Join VFM Leonardo, a Hotel General Manager Turned Mystery Author and a Experienced Hotel Marketer to Learn How to Tell Your Hotel Story on Social Media Channels.

Hoteliers are reputed to be great storytellers, and social media provides unprecedented platforms and audiences for sharing stories. And yet much of the social media content hotels produce is similar: a bit dull, unmemorable and salesy. With the help of a hotel general manager turned mystery author and an expert hotel marketer, VFM Leonardo will demystify social media and storytelling and show you how to reach, engage and convert more travel shoppers with vivid, compelling stories on social media channels.

During this 45 minute webinar, Social Media and Storytelling for Hotels, on Wednesday, November 30th at 11:00am Eastern Standard Time, attendees will learn how to use storytelling techniques to grab the attention of travel shoppers, compel them to click for more, and convert them into guests, while at the same time strengthening the positioning and perceptions of the hotel brand. The presentation will be followed by a 15 minute question and answer session.
