Hospitality Kit Case Study
How Print Materials Elevate the Hospitality Experience
The hospitality industry has been experiencing a massive upheaval in the last 10 years. For hotels, motels, and vacation rental agencies, creating memorable experiences and building brand loyalty is vital to growth and stability in the market. While digital tools and mobile apps have become essential, printed materials remain a powerful way to engage guests, communicate essential information, and reinforce brand identity. From the front desk to the guest room, printed collateral adds a tangible layer of hospitality that digital communication simply can't replicate.
Why Print Still Matters in Hospitality
Despite the rise of digital solutions, studies show that guests consistently respond positively to printed materials. Travelers appreciate printed welcome materials and room information because they offer immediate access without navigating an app or website. Print materials break through the digital noise, providing a physical reminder of the brand's presence — whether it's a door hanger that signals privacy or a branded notepad that invites guests to jot down memories or notes.
A printed holder on a physical key card is easy to carry around and is not dependent on whether you have “bars” or not. Travelers- especially vacationers- seek to put down their digital tether and avoid seeing notifications and other reminders of work or home life. Offering them ways to interact seamlessly with your property without entangling them with their other responsibilities is a gift. Useful info about the property on the holder or even an unexpected message like, “Get it, girl!” can cement a fun stay in memory.
Branded collateral meant for your guests to take -- think pencils, notepads, and unique gifts -- are an advertisement for your brand and a constant reminder of the great stay you provided long after the guest checks out. A gift that keeps giving is so much more personal and effective than endless follow-up emails sent by a robot.
Signage is an essential print product for any hospitality property. Printed signs have a far more welcoming quality than digital signs and can signal to your guests that they can relax their dependence on screens and digital communications for a brief time while in your care. Also, you don’t have to wait for them to “scroll” to the info you need.
Printed brochures and tourism information can be a treasured way to connect with guests. It’s hard to get a sense of a district or neighborhood online, and endless reviews can be overwhelming. You can print targeted information for each of your properties that guests can peruse before heading out, highlighting the best of the local area. Curating locally recommended “journeys” is an especially nice touch (with QR codes to ticketed destinations), and you can provide a checklist that guests can take with them and return to the front desk at the end of the day for a complimentary gift.
