Strategic Partnership Provides Interactive Display Solutions That Enhance Guest Experiences In High-end New York Hotel
Hotel implements digital signage network; enhances atmosphere, provides time-relevant information for guests and third-party advertising opportunities
Toronto, ON ADFLOW Networks, a leading provider of digital signage and interactive kiosk technology in the self-service vertical, and TTI Technologies International, inc , provider of self-service business centers, Internet kiosks, boarding pass kiosks and automated concierge services, recently teamed up to provide Manhattan’s Belvedere Hotel ( www.belvederehotelnyc.com) with a digital signage network.
With TTI’s history of established relationships within the hotel industry, combined with ADFLOW’s proven, patented technology, a unique digital signage solution was designed specifically to incorporate The Belvedere Hotel’s vision to create a guest-orientated environment that provides exceptional customer service and time-sensitive, relevant information on flights, restaurants, weather, news, etc.
With a focus on providing increased functionality and flexibility, ADFLOW Networks and TTI successfully provided an innovative solution, enabling The Belvedere Hotel to reach their business objectives, which are to captivate, inform and entertain guests staying in their hotel. The Belvedere Hotel’s digital signage initiative utilized LCD screens to engage guests, enhance the brand of the hotel and promote selected features and services provided by the hotel.
Michael Link , Belvedere Hotel General Manager, is pleased with the addition of the digital signage network and the flexibility it gives them in communicating with their guests. “ We are very happy with our digital signage. We currently have monitors installed at various locations; lobby, restaurant, and in our guest laundry facility,” Link said.
“The monitors simultaneously display a message ticker that scrolls along the bottom of the screen,” explains Link. “We welcome guests to our hotel as well as recognizing groups, special meetings and events. The monitor also loops through various hotel pictures with descriptions promoting the rooms, restaurants and services the hotel has to offer. We also plan to sell advertising spots to area merchants and restaurants to promote their businesses. If desired, we can switch the screen to full screen mode for viewing of sporting or major news events.”
Link says there are plans in place to add monitor capabilities in guest rooms by interfacing with their in-house movie provider. Their channel will be one of the first seen each time the television is turned on. The channel will also be integrated into their fitness center and elevators when they are upgraded later next year.
