"It is with great excitement that we introduce the third edition of our Hotels to HTMLs book. We printed the first edition back in 2003 and so much has changed since then that if you were to go into a slumber in 2003 and wake up today, you'd find it hard to understand all the complexities associated with the internet space today," states Benu Aggarwal, Milestone President and Co-author of the book. "In the fast-paced evolution of the internet, this book gets the adrenaline going and offers new opportunities for hoteliers to excel in this dynamic marketspace."

This one-of-a-kind book offers practical, proven information for hotel professionals on all aspects of internet marketing, which hoteliers can use to improve their revenue and internet presence. All the strategies illustrated - from traditional search engine marketing to mobile, social media, e-mail, and website optimization - have been successfully deployed to create good return on investment for different hotels in Milestone's portfolio. The content is based on the authors' experiences working with more than 800 hotels to provide them with increased revenue through effective internet marketing.

For hoteliers who don't know RSS from SEO, the book provides practical tips in easy-to-understand language, and offers nearly a dozen handy checklists to monitor a property's internet marketing progress. There are checklists for website design, social media optimization, e-mail marketing, ROI tracking, pay-per-click, and website analysis.

"Our objective is that the reader walks away with productive, real-life strategies to enhance their hotel business by utilizing the internet," Benu concludes.
