Festive Season Marketing for Hotels and Restaurants

The festive season is when guests are most ready to spend on stays, dinners and celebrations, but it is also when competition for their attention is highest. Hotels and restaurants that plan early, package their offers clearly and make booking easy usually win the best bookings, without relying on heavy discounts.

Start planning early

Families and companies book festive meals, parties and holiday stays weeks in advance. Decide your packages, menus and prices early, and publish them on your website before competitors fill the calendar.

Create clear packages

Packages such as a holiday stay with breakfast and late check-out, a set festive menu or a party package for companies are easier to market than general offers. Show what is included and the price per person or per room.

Make booking simple

Let guests book a room, a table or an enquiry for an event directly from the offer page. A deposit option for group bookings reduces no-shows. Reply quickly to messages on WhatsApp and social media.

Use photos and short videos

Show the decorations, the food and the atmosphere. Short videos of the chef preparing a festive dish or the team setting up an event perform well on social media and make the offer feel real.

Target the right audiences

Local residents respond to dining and staycation offers; companies look for party venues; travellers search for holiday stays. Run separate campaigns for each group with their own message.

Plan the quiet weeks after

Demand often drops after the holidays. Prepare an offer for the following weeks and promote it to guests who visited during the festive season.
