Hotels are continually looking for ways to drive website engagement with robust personalization features and effective content marketing to turn lookers into bookers. One of the best organic ways to offer compelling content is through a well-run blog that speaks to potential guests in a friendly, honest and engaging way. Used as a platform to share informational and inspirational content, blogs can enhance your inbound marketing efforts, driving traffic to your hotel website and increasing brand awareness.

Behind the scenes, Cendyn’s powerful Content Management System (CMS) now offers you the ability to seamlessly create, manage and post blogs using one single application. You can also organize blog posts in custom categories, archive posts, and easily feature posts throughout the website with as many categories and tags as you’d like. Set your hotel apart with unique content that potential guests and readers will remember.

Easily share informational and inspirational content

The new blog functionality in the Cendyn CMS allows you to choose from two responsive brand-matched templates and order your posts manually or have posts listed in chronological order.
