We have experience in marketing independent hotels. From simple branding to custom frequent traveler programs, we can help you create an identity, pick a booking engine, launch a site and assist in the effective deployment of sales managers at your hotel. If it’s brand experience you are after, then you’ve come to the right place as well.

There’s no doubt that having the right skills to tackle the project are essential – that’s why we invest a lot of resources to have the best talent on hand, in-house every day. You’ve got to find a partner with a strong team where there is leadership at the top, and young, enthusiastic personnel throughout.  Our teams are comprised of thought leaders, who have years of experience and specific expertise in hospitality.

Operational efficiencies are crucial to any projects success.  We are process driven and Yo!Dog has a system that provides a fundamental framework to work efficiently and creatively with all client and team members. This is a collaborative approach that bridges the ideas and vision of marketing with the reality of the technical engineering. At every step, there is flexibility to adapt to client needs and ensure the timeliness and success of the project.

At Yo!Dog Marketing, we follow a structured process for optimizing your marketing. We believe in that process. It has been developed through trial and error. More important, it works for our clients. It begins with the establishment of a team assigned to projects, and it ends when the project is perfect. We like to invest more time on the "front end" of projects so that the development and production will be most efficient. Great design and cool technology are not competing ideas in our system.

We live in an era of rapid change, yet much of the marketing and advertising world has been slow to adapt.  Yo!Dog Marketing specializes in keeping our clients positioned as thought leaders who make the most of the opportunities created by emerging technologies. Hotel sales has changed a lot over the past 10 years. The focus has changed from phone call reservations and call centers to online reservations and the internet. It is more important than ever to be ahead of other hotel sales teams and get that competitive edge.
