Property Management - Delaware Hotel Group sets and carefully
monitors meaningful cost controls. Rates
are structured, checked daily through
our guest tracking report and changed as
market conditions warrant. Rate
maximization via yield management is an
integral part of the operations
strategy. Payroll is analyzed daily,
energy costs controlled, preventive
maintenance programs are established,
and an extensive Policy and Procedures
Manual is utilized by property
management.
Renovations & Purchasing -
The company has developed close
relationships with many suppliers and
manufacturers. Due to economics of
scale, purchasing power is realized.
While saving ownership unnecessary
expenditures, quality renovations are
achieved.
Sales
& Marketing - Delaware Hotel
Group -
places special emphasis
on a strong and effective sales and
marketing department. Sales works
strongly on two levels, locally and
nationally. Major consideration is
placed on working with managers to
better enable them to work with their
sales staff. Following careful research,
strategic marketing plans are put in
place for each property in the portfolio
and reviewed quarterly. Marketing
dollars are carefully allocated and
accurate market segment tracking is
reviewed to assure that the monies are
being spent wisely. In order to further
promote sales and marketing, major
national conventions such as HSMAI, NTA
and ABA are attended regularly.
Acquisitions and Development
- One of the most compelling incentives
for hiring
Delaware Hotel Group may be
the utilization of their development
expertise, from the initial design of
the project, to the property's opening
and subsequent management. Once a pro
forma analysis is conducted and a pro
forma budget is completed, the
Principals can determine the amount of
investment the project can support.
Delaware Hotel Group can
provide a complete financial package,
and if needed, assist in obtaining
financing. The company can aid in the
hiring of an architect and interior
decorator experienced in hotel projects,
and in ordering furniture, fixtures and
equipment using our established
purchasing power. Throughout the years,
the company has worked with several
franchise types and can assist with
securing the most advantageous brandname.
