The Client:

The Association of Serviced Apartment Providers (ASAP) is a non-profit association which represents only Quality Accredited Operator and Agent members alike. In other words, ASAP assures quality apartments for all travellers.  

 

Collectively, ASAP offers more than 100,000 high-quality apartments in 16 countries comprising more than 3 million bed nights per year. 

The Challenge

As world travel has become increasingly quicker, cheaper, and easier, the demand for accommodation has skyrocketed. As a result, this creates a progressively competitive market in the hospitality sector. The issue facing ASAP was that its competitors were also offering cheap apartments in the centre of major locations worldwide and the company needed to stand out in a saturated market.  

The Solution

We resolved this issue by highlighting the quality of apartment that ASAP guarantees, dramatically boosted ASAPs social media presence to spread the word and provided corporate copy to expand its membership growth and engagement.  

 

To expand ASAP’s social media presence, we issued a number of press releases tailored to specific subjects such as supporting the development of quality assurance (QA) programmes, while also promoting and hosting support events and speaker opportunities to promote ASAP’s message and encourage additional membership.  

 

We coupled this with a revamp of ASAP’s LinkedIn page and provided a new engagement strategy on Twitter in order to effectively enhance ASAP’s membership figures. We also proceeded to re-package ASAP’s technical papers to be easily understandable and coherent into ‘white papers’. 

 

Additionally, we enhanced ASAP’s website by providing a blogging platform, people imagery, and user guidance to encourage further member engagement while promoting pushing ASAP’s online presence in the process.  

The Results

  • The creation of an authoritative voice in a competitive market  
  • Widespread press coverage in quality apartments worldwide 
  • Increased exposure of key messages  
  • Enhances online presence with lessons in strategies to increase followings on social media
