Using Customer Data Smartly for a Personalized Guest Experience

In the hospitality and leisure sector, it’s all about reservations. But successful entrepreneurship goes beyond simply having full schedules. The crucial question for every entrepreneur is: what does a booking actually yield at the bottom line? The future of profitable entrepreneurship lies in the smart analysis of customer behavior. With Jimani, the all-in-one reservation platform, you finally gain the insight needed to maximize customer value and make data-driven choices.

The blind spot of separate systems

Many companies still work with separate software solutions for hospitality, sports activities, and the beauty salon. This leads to fragmented data and missed opportunities. Without a central link, valuable expenses remain invisible. We are therefore definitively eliminating the software islands by managing all your reservations in one system.

With Jimani’s centralized platform, all interactions and spending, from dinner and the paddle court to the salon appointment, are brought together in one overview. This creates a complete picture of the entire customer journey and finally gives you a grip on your business operations.

Who is your real top guest? Surprising insights via Jimani

By keeping track of all customer data and payments in Jimani, you gain insight into who your most valuable guests are. This often yields surprising results that go against intuition.

A valuable insight
Data may show, for example, that a couple between the ages of 30 and 40 systematically spends more on additional facilities such as the tennis court, a luxury dinner and a spa visit than a family of four. Although the family is larger, the couple yields a higher return at the bottom line. This shows that data is the new fuel to know your peaks and troughs.

Another valuable insight may be
Data may show, for example, that a group of 5 to 6 people systematically spends more on additional facilities such as the tennis court, a luxury dinner and a spa visit over a period of 2-3 days. While the same group staying for 5 days spends 35% less. From this you can conclude that this group eats more in their accommodation, or perhaps outside the park.

Without these insights, you would never identify these good customers. Now you can specifically tailor your marketing strategy and staffing to the target groups that generate the highest margin. This is also the moment when staff can be deployed as a strategic force.

Unlocking the power of customer data

When reservations, payments and extras come together in Jimani, data changes into a strategic tool. Thanks to the integrated CRM functionality, you get answers to questions that really matter:

• What exactly do your customers buy?
  See at a glance which combinations of services are most popular. Is a dinner in combination with bowling more profitable than separate bookings?
• Who are your most valuable customers?
  By combining booking history and spending, you identify guests who not only come often, but also make more use of upselling options.
• When is the most spent?
  Analyze which time slots or seasons generate the highest turnover per guest and optimize your prices and promotions accordingly.

One customer view, more profit

Linking all spending within your recreation park or hotel to one unique customer profile makes a huge difference. Your organization changes from separate departments into one coherent, profit-oriented whole. With the insights from Jimani, you can automatically and specifically deploy upselling based on previous purchases.
