Selling experiences is only half the equation. The other half is understanding which marketing efforts are actually driving bookings. Without clear attribution, hotels often struggle to measure the impact of their campaigns.

Activate 2.0 solves this problem with an integrated Marketing Module designed to connect campaigns directly to revenue results.

Built-in Campaign Tracking Tools

The platform includes a free built-in system for generating:

  • UTMs

  • Deep links

  • QR codes
    ‍

These tools allow marketing teams to tag campaigns across channels such as:

  • Email marketing

  • Paid advertising

  • Social media

  • In-property materials

Each campaign can then be tracked within the platform’s analytics and reporting tools.

‍

QR Codes for In-Property Sales

QR codes are particularly powerful for hotels looking to increase in-stay experience bookings. Hotels can place QR codes in:

  • Guest rooms

  • Lobby displays

  • Pool areas

  • Restaurant tables

Guests can instantly scan and browse available experiences.

‍

Connecting Marketing to Revenue

With proper campaign tagging, hotels gain clear visibility into:

  • Which campaigns drive bookings

  • Which channels perform best

  • Which promotions generate the highest ROI

This data enables marketing teams to continuously refine their strategy and maximize revenue from each campaign.
