Turning One Time Hotel Guests Into Repeat Visitors Using WhatsApp Journeys

Winning a new guest is expensive. Losing them after one stay is painful. The real magic happens when people come back, bring friends, and recommend you. WhatsApp can quietly help you stay in their mind without being loud or spammy.

Do Not Let The Relationship End At Checkout

Right after checkout and feedback, you can ask for gentle permission: “Would you like to receive occasional updates about special offers or events from us on WhatsApp?” Those who say yes are your true gold.

Design A Light, Respectful Journey

Over the next months, you can share:

  • Seasonal offers relevant to their travel style
  • Updates about new facilities or renovations
  • Festive packages or long weekend plans

Make It Easy To Book Directly Next Time

Every few messages, include a simple, personalised line: “If you are ever planning to visit our city again, you can always message us here and we will help you with dates and best prices.” You become their direct contact in that destination, not just another hotel they once tried.
