Case Study
Summary
Art Series Hotels is a boutique luxury hotel chain. They needed a way to increase leisure traveller bookings during their recurring quieter summer periods. Research revealed a major pain point of leisure travellers was the 11:00am checkout. Why should they leave if no one had booked their room? The “Overstay Checkout”, a new-to-world checkout system based on hotel capacity was born. People would only have to check out when the next guest checked in. The campaign was tremendously successful and applauded as a genuine hotel and travel innovation, creating value for the consumer and the hotel out of unsold inventory.
