Why should you consider adding a privacy pod to your hotel?
As the industry increasingly blends work and leisure, we can expect to see more business travelers using spaces that were once designed primarily for leisure. So, how do you adapt to suit your clients needs?
One easy thing to consider; if you’re sent on a business trip and you need to take a meeting from your hotel, would you rather, join a zoom call in your hotel room, in a open communal space or in a pod where you can shut out all distractions and maintain a professional persona?
Bringing business and leisure together
We all want the best for our customers, so why don’t we give them the best of both worlds and meet their needs along with their wants. It sounds like a lot but just pop a pod in your fabulous hotels and you’re sorted.
With a privacy pod, your customers are free to work in a professional manner without having to worry about anyone peering over at their laptop, causing distractions from their work. Privacy pods create a distraction free zone, with amazing sound absorbing technology, outside noise is muffled and same goes for inside noise- no need to worry about someone listening to conversations as the pod creates the perfect privacy zone.
With the vast amount of the hotel clientele currently being led by business stays, customers will most likely choose to stay somewhere that considers their needs over somewhere with slightly nicer chairs… Don’t get me wrong, I do love a good chair, but I reckon a higher rate of customers does top this.
By advertising towards both leisure and business needs, you’re allowing your business to thrive as you welcome more clientele. It’s a win, win for everyone.
Trend forecast
It’s inevitable that majority of companies will follow trends, as they are trends for a reason... We can see more hotels bringing in business driven clientele, so why don’t you stand out from the rest. With privacy pods you don’t need to sacrifice aesthetics, there are plenty of customisation options to choose from to match your space to your pod, this way you are seamlessly incorporating both business and design into one, whilst setting your space aside from the rest.
Remote working is growing at an increased pace, building on this opportunity will allow your space to welcome more customers. Creating a successful space is all about thinking about the customers needs. With more people working remotely, we can see more people using communal spaces, to separate their work from home. But sometimes this isn’t always smooth sailing for the customer, what if it’s a particularly busy day for your space, not having a dedicated space for working may push them away, as they would much rather a space where they feel considered.
So, when planning your next hotel remember to consider:
Does this suit my client’s needs?
Has my client been considered right up to checking out?
Have you created a space people want to use?
What is working well in the hotel industry currently?
How can I set my hotel apart from the rest?
You want people to choose your hotel, and people want to be catered to.. It’s a no brainer.
