    Radisson Hotel

    By 1997, Radisson's “growth at any cost” strategy left Radisson with a significant diversity in hotel quality and an “unfocused” brand image. Alignment with hotel owners (more than hotel guests) also seemed to cause Radisson's customer service and hotel management expertise to atrophy. In 1997 and 1998, Mr. Brian Stage, Radisson's President, and Ms. Maureen O'Hanlon, Radisson's Executive Vice President, took several initiatives to drive the organization towards becoming a more customer-focused brand. In their words, they “re-discovered that their primary customers should be the guests -- not the owners.”…

    Rosewood Hotels

    In the analysis, Rosewood’s ADR and RevPAR were superior to the corporate-branded groups namely Four Seasons Hotels and Ritz-Carlton (Marriott International). Rosewood also fared better than Orient-Express Hotels, another individual-branded hotel group. The results make the argument for corporate branding difficult to justify as the current individual-branded strategy places Rosewood ahead of their current competition. The Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) was calculated to assess if the targeted incremental spending by multi-property guests was sufficient to justify corporate branding strategy - with its increased marketing, operational cost and efforts. Analysis showed that the corporate branding strategy yielded higher customer lifetime value of $1,047.32 compared to $862.50 for individually-branded strategy.…
