Having Emma set up and automated, means that I only have to sit down a few times a year to create my year of campaigns. The set up and automation process gives me time to focus on my business because I know my welcome emails, birthday emails, and promotional emails are sent without me having to be on top of it.

Emma integrates with key hospitality platforms like OpenTable and BentoBox, as well as your CRM and SFTP. You can also extend functionality through our open API, ecosystem partners, or flexible integration options.

Emma’s tiered account structure lets you manage multiple locations, concepts, or properties from one platform. You can control branding and strategy at the top while giving individual teams the flexibility to execute locally.

Absolutely. With Brand Manager, you can create style guides, lock brand elements, and share approved templates so every campaign stays consistent, no matter who sends it.

Emma offers advanced automation and segmentation based on guest behavior, preferences, and integrated data. You can trigger campaigns like reservation follow-ups, promotions, or re-engagement emails to deliver more personalized experiences.

 

Emma is a strong fit for travel and hospitality businesses because the platform was built to handle the complexity of managing multiple locations, diverse guest segments, and the need for both centralized control and local flexibility. 

Our Emma for Teams and Emma Corporate plans give you a tiered account structure that mirrors how your business operates, whether you’re overseeing restaurants, hotel properties, or travel destinations. This helps corporate teams maintain brand standards while individual locations execute campaigns tailored to their specific guests. 

Emma integrates seamlessly with hospitality platforms like OpenTable and BentoBox, as well as your CRM, so guest data flows automatically into your marketing.

There are lots of different automated email campaigns that work well for travel and hospitality brands. With Emma, you can send timely, personalized messages based on guest behavior without requiring manual effort. Here are some of our favorites:

  • Reservation confirmation emails: Set expectations and build excitement immediately after booking.
  • Pre-arrival messages: Upsell room upgrades or promote on-property amenities. 
  • Post-stay follow-ups: Thank guests for their visit, request reviews while the experience is fresh, and offer rebooking incentives. 
  • Birthday and anniversary emails: Create personal moments that strengthen emotional connections.
  • Re-engagement campaigns: Automatically reach guests who haven’t visited recently with special offers designed to win them back.

Audience segmentation improves marketing performance by ensuring you reach the right guests with relevant offers at the moment they’re most likely to book, rather than sending generic mass emails that most recipients ignore. 

You can segment based on past booking behavior—business travelers receive weekday promotions, while vacationers get weekend packages—and purchase history lets you target guests who typically book suites with luxury upgrades. 

Geographic segmentation helps you promote nearby properties to guests who’ve stayed at other locations in your portfolio.

Hospitality marketers should track performance insights that directly connect email marketing to business outcomes such as reservations, revenue, and guest lifetime value. 

While open and click-through rates indicate message relevance, you need to go deeper by tracking conversion rates to see how many email recipients complete bookings. Segment performance reveals which guest types respond best to specific offers, and time-to-conversion data shows how long it takes subscribers to book after receiving emails.
