See It In Action

The Boutique Hotel Collection

Before GuestSmart

A collection of unique boutique hotels struggled with a generic loyalty program that failed to reflect their distinctive character or recognize the preferences of their discerning guests, resulting in low enrollment and engagement.

With GuestSmart

They implemented a recognition-based program that emphasizes personalized experiences over points, with benefits tailored to individual preferences. The system identifies each member's preferences and automatically suggests recognition opportunities to staff, creating memorable moments that have increased program enrollment by 38% and direct bookings by 42%.

The Business Hotel

Before GuestSmart

A city center business hotel had a traditional points program, but it failed to differentiate from competitor programs or address the specific needs of their frequent business travelers, leading to low redemption rates and limited impact on booking decisions.

With GuestSmart

They enhanced their points program with personalized benefits specifically valued by business travelers—guaranteed late checkout, expedited check-in, workspace preferences, and similar conveniences. The system automatically identifies members' travel patterns and preferences, enabling staff to deliver consistent recognition that has increased program engagement by 46% and weekday occupancy by 22%.

The Resort Destination

Before GuestSmart

A luxury resort offered exclusive benefits to repeat guests, but without a structured program or consistent recognition, the experience varied widely and missed opportunities to build stronger relationships during and between stays.

With GuestSmart

They created an experiential program where members unlock access to exclusive resort experiences based on their specific interests. The system tracks preferences and prior activities to recommend personalized experiences for each stay, while automated between-stay communications maintain engagement. This approach has increased return visits by 36% and on-property spending by 28%.

The International Hotel Group

Before GuestSmart

A global hotel group had a traditional points program, but it failed to account for regional preferences or create consistent recognition across properties, limiting its effectiveness in driving cross-property bookings.

With GuestSmart

They implemented a hybrid program with consistent point structure but regionalized benefits and recognition. The system maintains unified member profiles across all properties while enabling location-specific personalization, resulting in a 43% increase in cross-property bookings and a 31% improvement in program satisfaction scores.
