Cabo Villas Beach Resort Sees Substantial Online Revenue Growth

Cabo San Lucas Full Service Hotel Finds the Secret
to Successful Marketing; Wins Award & New Online Customers
|
Jacksonville, FL – March 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / Cabo Villas Beach Resort & Spa selected Vizergy® – Digital Travel Marketing in 2012 to boost their hotel Internet marketing efforts. This full service, 142-room independent property located in Cabo San Lucas felt the need to enhance their online presence to maintain their edge over the competition. Vizergy recommended that the property invest in a new custom website design to achieve higher rankings on major search engines, increase website traffic and deliver a higher percentage of relevant and ready-to-book guests. Vizergy received a Silver Adrian Award for digital marketing excellence for its work with Cabo Villas at the recent HSMAI awards gala.

“Since re-launching our website with Vizergy in late 2012, we have seen consistent growth in our online revenue,” said Sergio Baños, General Manager of Cabo Villas. “Our collaboration with Vizergy’s team and their online strategies has been a productive combination. Cabo Villas is seeing first-time visitors to our ‘Heart of Cabo’ location on Medano Beach, and they are fully enjoying and relaxing at our four restaurants, world class spa and three swimming pools.”

Cabo Villas sought to increase website traffic and direct hotel bookings, increase requests for information (RFP’s) for destination weddings, and sell special fishing travel packages. They specifically wanted to gain more exposure for the hotel side of this luxury resort, separately from the vacation rentals and timeshare side. Their old site did not make it clear that there was an independent property on-site. Vizergy created a hotel website design that showcases the beauty of the property and surrounding area through large background photos, easy-to-navigate and informative pages, media gallery, hotel video and virtual tour to engage visitors. Much of Cabo Villas’ continued success is due to the aesthetically pleasing design that sells the property, and Vizergy’s dedicated team of account managers that conducts strategic reviews and consultation on a regular basis.
