A special thanks to Zhang Liang, who provided information and insights for this video. This case discusses a marketing strategy for a hotel lobby coffee bar in China, where the rapid growth of the coffee consumption market presents an opportunity. The key aspects of the plan include: 1) Providing free coffee to hotel guests to enhance their satisfaction and loyalty; 2) Leveraging social media platforms and partnerships with major online ordering platforms like Ele.me and Meituan to increase event exposure and attract more customers; and 3) Using the high-frequency traffic of the online platforms to drive low-frequency hotel bookings and visits to the coffee bar. The outcomes of this approach include improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, increased brand awareness, and successful integration of online and offline marketing tactics to achieve the desired goals.
