New Common Cents Program for Local Hotels
by Ingrid Kuegeman, Titi Conservation Alliance
Mirrored after the wonderful “We Share” program started by Hotel Parador, Titi Conservation Alliance has developed a new donation program called Common Cents that brings a fantastic opportunity to all local hotels to give something back to the community.
What is it?
Common Cents provides an opportunity to contribute more support for local organizations like Titi Conservation Alliance, while also educating and informing customers of responsible business practices.
It is a program set up so that hotels act as the conduit for the donation, without costing them a penny.
How does it work?
- Hotels automatically add $1 (or any amount of their choice) for each nights’ stay to customers’ final bill, explaining that the addition is being donated to a local community organization(s).
- By placing information cards in each guest room, (which Titi Conservation Alliance gladly provides at a small cost), hotels quickly and easily explain what the organization does, and why their business supports the cause.
- If a customer does not want to have the addition added to their bill, it is easily removed at their request.
How hotel owners can implement this program
There are three basic elements to implementation:
- Marketing within your hotel
- Training your employees
- Back-office programming
Titi Conservation Alliance will provide hotel owners with everything needed to carry out each of these steps. This is a program that can be easily started, communicated to customers, and is hugely beneficial to hotels, as well as the community as a whole.
