Hospitality Client Input and Traffic Analytics Used to Improve Online
Do-It-Yourself, Search-and-Buy Functionality for Fast Growing Data Resource
| Chicago, IL – April 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / MeetingLists.com today launched an update to its website, which features its online searchable database of detailed meeting and contact data. The result of direct input from hospitality clients and site traffic analytics, the website update was designed to be even more usable, intuitive and accessible than before.

Improvements to the site come only six months after its launch during IMEX Americas in October 2014. Several improvements were made both to the site’s design and to its back-end technology infrastructure. The new site design is user-centric and easily navigated via an intuitive, data-informed interface.

Group sales and marketing professionals of all levels of U.S.-based name brands and independent hotels, destination marketing organizations and event management companies, restaurant/venues and hospitality service companies have been among the site’s most avid users, with 1-in-3 clients already returning to make additional purchases. The top uses for the data include marketing campaigns, sales blitzes, targeted prospecting, road shows, and event invitations, among other initiatives.

Reflecting a data-driven approach, the most commonly requested information has been added to the Search page. The Search page offers users the ability to enter specific search criteria to access instant record counts and costs. Categories for criteria include:

Organization/Account Type
Planner Location – States/Metro Areas
Rooms Peak Night
Meeting Months
Meeting Region (from History)
Hotel Type
Rate Range

In addition to adding detailed instructions to assist in the search process, a 2-minute video offers an instant demo. Both new features support the premise of the first do-it-yourself (DIY) database in the hospitality sector that doesn’t require a subscription fee or lengthy commitment.

“MeetingLists.com is more than just a website – its new search and shopping-cart functionality, along with on-demand detailed meetings and contact data, are time-saving differentiators that mean a lot to savvy hospitality professionals,” said Gretchen Kihm-Stegall, MeetingLists.com Managing Director. “Now, it’s easier than ever before for hospitality sales and marketing professionals to get targeted information that will help them achieve their goals.”

Repeat client G. Armando Emanuelli, Director of Sales and Marketing of the Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico stated, “MeetingLists.com is an incredibly valuable online data resource, as it helped us find new potential group business for our off-shore hotel. We were able to eliminate huge amounts of hours by our team just locating these targets, which in turn allows us more time to spend selling and marketing to them.”
