By now most hotels have a Facebook page, but many struggle with how much time to dedicate and what results to expect. Is Facebook a channel for sales, marketing or guest service? In ReviewPro's most recent webinar, we tackled these questions and more. Here are the highlights from our discussion.

Is Facebook declining in popularity?First, are rumors trueare people abandoning Facebook in droves? A study by digital agency iStrategy found that Facebook users declined by 25.3% in the 13-to-17-year-old age category between 2011 and 2014 and by 7.5% among 18-to-24-year-olds. But the study also found that users grew by 32.6% among 24-to-34-year-olds, by 41.4% among 35-to-54-year-olds, and by 80.4% among those 55+.

Does this mean young people are fleeing Facebook as parents rush in? And will parents soon follow? Only time will tell. For now, unless teenagers book the majority of your rooms, with 1.23 billion users worldwide Facebook is more relevant than ever for hotels.

Building Your Fan BaseDuring the webinar, panelist Alex Houg, vice president of optimization at BlitzMetrics, recommended a three-campaign system on Facebook: build an audience, engage and convert.

When building an audience, it's quality and not quantity that matters, said Emeric Ernoult, CEO and co-founder of AgoraPulse. "The highest quality fans are those who have visited you," he said. "They know your property, and they can provide that valuable "social proof" travelers are looking for when deciding where to stay."

Ernoult said that the best time to recruit these fans is when they are onsite. But it's not enough to display a sign that says "Like our page". "What's the return for the guest?" he asked. Instead, offer incentives for guests to check in or to become a fan such as free Wi-Fi, a cocktail, an appetizer or an upgrade.

Spain-based Palladium Hotel Group knows all about building a fan base. One of its properties, Ushuaa Ibiza Beach Hotel, has attracted over 318,000 fans and 171,000 check-ins in three years, despite having only 450 rooms and being open only a few months each year. How? Through a three-pronged strategy of commerce, guest satisfaction and loyalty, Guille Rodriguez, Palladium's social media corporate manager, told us.

It helps that on any given day up to 5,000 people come to the hotel's club to see the world's best deejays. "That's thousands of potential ambassadors," said Rodriguez. "We encourage them to tell their friends and make them jealous."

Ushuaa makes it easy by providing ID bracelets that allow guests and visitors to log on to Facebook at kiosks around the property. They also give them access to free photos and videos of themselves for sharing on social networks.

Is Facebook A Sales, Marketing Or Customer Service Channel? | By Daniel Edward Craig

The Czech Republic and local car maker koda Auto appear to have won the battle with Spain and auto maker SEAT to build a new large sports utility vehicle. Strong behind the scenes lobbying by Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka has been one of the factors in the Czech campaign to land the investment.

Illustrative photo: koda Auto Czech daily Mlad Fronta Dnes reported Tuesday that koda Autos east Bohemian factory at Kvasiny had been selected by the Volkswagen Group to manufacture the new model over a rival bid from SEATs Martorell plant in Barcelona. Dnes cited several well informed sources from the Czech car maker and its suppliers for its story, adding that an official announcement would be made later on Tuesday or on Friday.

Czech Prime Minister Sobotka is due to visit Volkswagens headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, on Friday and the around 10 billion crown investment should also be raised with German Chanacellor Angela Merkel during the same trip. Sobotka said on Czech Televisions flagship current affairs programme on Sunday in connection with the koda Auto investment that it was of the upmost importance to get new job opportunities for the country.

Rumours that Volkswagen bosses had already selected Kvasiny over Martorell already leaked out at the start of the year. SEATs local bosses insisted back then that the race was still on. While Spanish unions argued that only Czech wage costs are lower other factors could inflate the bill for production at Kvasiny and that Volkswagen had in the past shifted production to Slovak capital Bratislava and later come to regret it when production costs overshot expectations. Some of the blow for the Barcelona plant might be cushioned by the fact that a new line of night time production was launched at the start of this month and around 450 temporary workers taken on permanently thanks to soaring sales of the Leon and Ibiza models.

For Kvasiny, the preparations to launch production of the new model, so far dubbed the snowman from 2016 or 2017 would be a turnaround in the fortunes of a plant that has long been the poor sister of the main koda Auto plant at Mlad Boleslav. Kvasiny, the youngest of kodas three plants, currently manufactures the top of the range Superb, the Yeti, and the Roomster. The future of the plant, which employs around 4,500, and produces around 150,000 cars a year has often been called into question over recent years.

For koda Auto, the Kvasiny investment would also make much more tangible board chairman Winfried Vahlands vision of the Czech carmaker producing 1.5 million units worldwide by 2018.

That ambitious target came under fire only last week when auto sector research company IHS Automotrive said that koda Auto would be hard pressed to exceed the 1.16 million production mark within four years. Last year, the carmaker saw sales slip to 920,800 compared with 939,200 in 2012. The company says that sales should be boosted from 2016 onwards with the expected unveiling of a new model every six months.
