When Dagmar and Guy Lombard took over managing the property in 2017, they “weren’t advanced in terms of digital marketing,” says Ms. Lombard, General Manager, “we needed a new website, SEO strategy, as well as online advertising.” The team tested a digital marketing partner in early 2018, who required a high minimum spend, but were disappointed with the results. “We spent a huge amount, and didn’t get a single booking from it.”
Let down by their first partner, Ms. Lombard turned to Sojern. Sojern reaches people looking to travel to Québec City, with engaging online ads on behalf of Auberge Saint-Antoine—inspiring would-be guests to visit the website and book directly. Because Sojern provides marketing solutions for hotels of all sizes, they partnered in a way that worked for this specific property, including a lower minimum spend, and support in designing the property’s ads. Success was measured on a Return on Investment (ROI) basis.
Sojern has delivered a display marketing campaign that meets the needs of Auberge Saint-Antoine. Sojern consistently delivers ROI from 10X in any given month and has been as high at 20X. “I like that we can adjust the amount we spend with Sojern throughout the year,” continues Ms. Lombard, “and their support in helping to create our ads saves us a lot of money. Sojern really works for us.”
