About Sales Programs

Sales programs are strategic initiatives designed to increase revenue and typically involve a combination of targeted marketing efforts, relationship-building with clients and agencies, pricing strategies, and special promotions. 

They tend to be events that hotels plan internally and invite their customers to. Examples can be: Special Cocktail Receptions, a Product Launch to showcase your new ballroom, or swimming pool area, etc.
