Group Shop
A Group Shop from Hotel Information Service provides you with valuable insights into how your competitor hotels handle group requests. You can customize the criteria to suit your specific needs. We shop for AV pricing, F&B minimums, room rates, meeting space rental, and any other details you require.
Our service includes a comment section where we document the conversations with sales agents in detail. Calling is the primary method we use for gathering information. The cost of this shopqq covers up to five competitor hotels.
To begin, we receive a Group Shop Request Form filled out by the client, specifying the type of group being shopped, such as corporate, association, government, or reunion. The form includes details like the number of rooms needed, shopping dates, number of attendees, audiovisual requirements, and food and beverage needs. Additionally, we can include any other relevant information you need, such as attrition rates, cancellation policies, and more. Simply tell us what you’re looking for, and we’ll get the information.
Once we receive the request form, it’s processed and sent to our Group Shop team. They immediately begin contacting the specified hotels to gather the necessary data and statistics. There is extensive communication between our agents and the hotel’s sales department, including emails and follow-up calls as needed.
Our agents aim to collect most of the information during the initial call and also request written proposals for confirmation. All the gathered information is then sent back to our office, where our data entry staff prepares the final report to be emailed to you.
The typical turnaround time is 10–14 business days (approximately 14 business days for international shops), though it may take longer if we encounter uncooperative sales agents. The report will be returned to you by email in an Excel spreadsheet.
