Market Mentality: Blackpool Hotels

With the fifth anniversary of Little Touches ® approaching in March 2019, we thought it only fitting to take the time to reflect on our experience working in the Blackpool hospitality market. We've met a lot of different people, running businesses of all shapes and sizes and believe it important to identify and lay bare the common threads encountered along the way. 

By no means is this an attempt at us venting frustrations on our part, it is an honest assessment of our experience building a business in Blackpool.  

LT Family at Famille

On Wednesday 7th December, new LT GOLD Master Hotel Famille hosted the Winter Little Touches ® Hoteliers Get-Together in North Shore, Blackpool. 

Our Get-Togethers are open to all accommodation providers and are the opportunity for potential new members to hear first-hand from our top-drawer GOLD hosts about their experiences with the company and what it means to be a Master of their Niche.

The Independent Hotelier Mindset

Most independent hoteliers will only engage in marketing and consultancy expenditure if it can be directly and instantly attributed to a room sale

The majority of hoteliers want - rightly or wrongly - cold, hard results, right here, right now. No time for things to bed in, generally speaking they deal in short, rather than long terms.

Some might say this is the way of the world, but I firmly believe instant gratification in business is far more pronounced in the independent accommodation sector.

Their words, not mine

Waxing lyrical about how good one's company is just doesn't cut it in 2016. I prefer to let our community of hosts do the talking. The following testimonials are from a few of our GOLD members - they've demonstrated commitment to creativity and higher-order hospitality and thus gained our signifier of quality.
