Omnichannel Advertising: Digital and Print Working Together
Our approach to local advertising is omnichannel, combining the power of digital and printed formats to maximize engagement. Whether it’s a digital ad displayed on sleek, interactive directories or a printed promotion on a front desk acrylic stand, we ensure your message is visible and accessible.
Here’s how our omnichannel strategy creates multiple touchpoints:
- Digital Directories: Interactive screens placed in high-traffic areas such as hotel lobbies, hallways, and front desks. These directories provide guests with instant access to local dining, attractions, and services, offering advertisers prime digital real estate to capture attention.
- Printed Front Desk Acrylic Stands: Positioned at front desks or concierge stations, these acrylic stands feature printed advertisements that guests see as they check in or inquire about local services. These stands ensure your message reaches visitors at the moment they begin planning their local experience.
- Mirror Clings: Our printed mirror clings are placed in high-visibility areas like hotel room bathrooms, keeping your brand top of mind as guests prepare for their day. This format offers an intimate touchpoint that feels personal and engaging.
By pairing digital directories with printed formats, we create a cohesive, consistent brand experience for the guest. The multiple touchpoints—whether digital screens or printed stands and clings—ensure your message resonates throughout the entire guest journey.
Why Omnichannel Matters
The modern traveler is looking for convenience and trust in their local experiences. When they see your business highlighted in multiple places—on digital screens, at the front desk, or even in their hotel room—they are more likely to remember and engage with your brand. This strategy offers several key benefits for local advertisers:
- Increased Visibility: By combining digital and printed formats, your business becomes a familiar, trusted name that guests are likely to choose when making dining, entertainment, or service decisions.
- Enhanced Credibility: Multiple advertising formats build trust by reinforcing your message at critical moments. Guests are more likely to view your business as reliable when they encounter your ad in various trusted spaces.
- Improved Engagement: Omnichannel advertising creates a seamless experience for guests, helping them easily access information about your business when they need it most. This encourages immediate engagement, whether it’s visiting your website, calling for a reservation, or walking into your location.
Key Locations for Maximum Impact
Guide-a-Guest ensures that your ads are placed in strategic, high-traffic areas to maximize visibility:

- Front Desk & Concierge Areas: Printed acrylic stands at the front desk provide another high-touchpoint where guests are looking for recommendations and reliable local services. These stands give your business a direct line of communication as soon as guests arrive.
- Hotel Room Mirrors: Mirror clings in guest rooms add a personal touch, reminding guests of your business during their private moments. This placement reinforces your message as they get ready for their day or prepare for a night out.
- Dining Areas & Venues: Our digital screens in local restaurants and venues engage diners with targeted, relevant advertisements, encouraging them to explore nearby attractions or services. This not only boosts your brand’s presence but also drives foot traffic.
