How to improve customer experience with Chromecast "cast"

Nowadays, every review counts, especially in the hotel industry. A positive review will propel your hotel online at the click of a mouse, while a negative review is less well received, but will nevertheless provide balance to improve bad ratings.

So the question is: how do you collect reviews online after a stay in one of your hotels?

Make guests feel at home by highlighting your IPTV facilities and in-room TV entertainment.

There are many certified review sites that populate search engines. Through reviews, your online reputation is built and becomes an essential part of your future bookings.

The more reviews you generate on the internet, the more visible your hotel is!

Keeping hotel guests happy is not always an easy task. However, by making sure they have access to entertainment content, you open the doors to the interactivity available to guests. Let’s not mince words, they are fond of the latest technology! And to make them feel at home, there’s nothing better than having a streaming tool to watch series or movies on demand.

There’s a must-have that your hotel can’t do without: Chromecast.

Reasons to adopt Chromecast in your hotel

Google’s Chromecast is a connected device that allows you to stream content from your smartphone to your TV. Content streams to the TV screen in seconds using a Wi-Fi connection. With this broadcasting feature, hotel guests can enjoy a tool that meets their needs without having to install anything.

More than 2,000 applications are compatible with the Chromecast. For example, connect to Play Films, select the desired content with your smartphone or Android device. Go to the “cast” button that appears when you are connected to Wi-Fi and within seconds, you are playing an episode of Friends on the TV.

Moreover, the size of our small screens (tablet, smartphone) cannot compete with that of the TV or a smart TV. That’s why adopting Google’s Chromecast improves customer experience. All they have to do is bring their cell phones, Android devices, smartphones, tablets…and they’re all set!

Google Chromecast is also:

  • Easy to install
  • Less expensive than an IPTV or broadcast solution
  • Simple to set up

With Chromecast, you can broadcast your applications, games, and videos without having to make any connections in hotel rooms. The customer is king and clearly benefits from a connected room with free and unhindered data management. If you want to increase your company’s revenue, think about the marketing strategy and the digital means in which you will invest.
