The Slate Phuket is a luxury design-forward resort in Thailand known for its industrial chic aesthetic and lush tropical setting. The property sought to grow its direct bookings while tapping into a strong international traveler base. With a focus on performance marketing, The Slate partnered with The Guestbook to drive more conversions and optimize value from U.S. travelers, a key demographic of the hotel’s clientele.
To increase direct bookings and guest engagement, The Slate implemented The Guestbook’s Email Capture Plugin on its homepage and introduced a compelling Member Deal offering an exclusive discount for The Guestbook members. This initiative aimed to capture high-intent users, drive enrollments, and convert them into loyal bookers while leveraging The Guestbook’s U.S.-centric reach.
The collaboration generated significant returns. The Slate drove $899,705 in room revenue from over 2,755 booked room nights, with an average daily rate of $326.57. The program achieved a 10.89X Revenue-to-Cost Multiple, with only 9% of the total revenue spent on program costs. Guest engagement was strong, with over 60% of bookers enrolling in the program when visiting the website or booking engine, resulting in 2,070 new Guestbook enrollments. Nearly half of all guests during this period originated from the United States, confirming the strategic alignment between the resort’s goals and Guestbook’s audience reach.

"As an independent hotel, The Guestbook serves as a simple yet effective tool to drive direct bookings and build guest loyalty through both our official website and offline services. This partnership also further supports our mission to deliver added value and personalized service to our growing global guest base, particularly as we see significant growth in the U.S. market.”

Original Group joined forces with The Guestbook just six months before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the global hospitality industry to a standstill. While the initial results were promising, the partnership skyrocketed after reopening in an uncharted market.

Grand Case Beach Resort has always positioned itself as a premium hospitality provider. By joining The Guestbook, Grand Case Beach Club found a solution that aligned with their brand philosophy-offering meaningful incentives to repeat guests without devaluing their rates.
