About Hospitality Marketing Concepts
Headquartered in Newport Beach, Southern California, HMC (https://www.hmcloyalty.com), HMC is the world’s leading provider of outsourced database management and loyalty marketing programmes for premium hotel organizations. Our core competencies are the creation, implementation, management and marketing of custom-made programmes designed to drive incremental revenue and profits into each partner hotel.
HMC provides a turnkey solution to hotel clients, from the initial concept and design, to IT deployment, management and ongoing marketing and customer service. HMC serves two high-end clients – premier hotels and the members who subscribe to the hotel loyalty programs. The objective of HMC’s loyalty solutions is to help hotels increase bottom-line profit, through the recruitment and retention of repeat customers and lowering the cost of business via direct e-commerce channels. Member acquisition is primarily through outbound telesales; target members are managers and owners of small to medium-size business, professionals, and affluent lifestyle individuals. HMC also operates two proprietary global hotel loyalty networks: CLUBHOTEL and VOILÀ Hotel Rewards, further improving our client’s business opportunities through the world.
CLUBHOTEL (http://clubhotel.com) boasts the largest variety of brands and independent properties around the world. The programme is currently offered at over 720 luxury hotels in 52 countries and in more than 447 cities. Established in 1996, CLUBHOTEL has generated staggering results, representing tens of thousands of incremental room nights for participating hotels each year.
VOILÀ (http://voilahotels.com) is the world’s number one loyalty programme that unites a network of more than 250 select independent hotels comprising over 25 select global hotel brands. VOILÀ’s points-based frequency guest programme provides recognition benefits and Award Night room redemption opportunities at participating network hotels. But unlike big chain programs, VOILÀ enables independent hotel groups to maintain their branding and unique qualities. To achieve this, VOILÀ provides hotel- or group-branded loyalty solutions for our partner hotels, with VOILÀ acting as the supporting brand. VOILÀ’s global presence also allows members to earn and redeem points across a wide variety of redemption partners – including airlines, retail merchants and charities. From the consumer’s perspective, this means members can enjoy the rich experiences and extraordinary qualities independent hotels offer while earning points and receiving benefits typically tied to big chain loyalty programs.
A selection of HMC’s clients includes InterContinental Hotels, Hilton Hotels, Radisson Hotels, Mövenpick Hotels, Fairmont Hotels, Starwood Hotels, Ritz-Carlton Hotels, Shangri-La Hotels, Mandarin Oriental Hotels, Husa Hoteles, Tivoli Hotels, Hotéis Deville, Amari Hotels and Swissôtel Hotels.
