2) planners and planning date: Yang Jianying (August 1998)

3) planning purposes and planning ideas: A hotel opened nearly two years, mismanagement, social reputation is not good, door to door. Commissioned to receive the management of the A hotel, how to make the social reputation is not good, the hotel can be guests? Relying on the hotel and individual strength alone in the short term can not realize the vision of reversing the situation. Only by relying on government departments with the power of appeal, can all of a sudden summoned to the enterprises and institutions have the potential for consumption, and can become a hotel customer personnel to the hotel. But how to make the government departments reasonable and legitimate to play this function and advantage? According to the big marketing concept, when the interests of the enterprise and the interests of the society are unified, the political power of the society will have a positive effect on the enterprise. ③Aiming at the events or urgent problems widely concerned by the government and the society, we help plan or propose solutions to the problems and provide the conditions for the solutions, which will inevitably attract the attention of the government. When the government adopts the suggestions to solve the problem and in the process of implementation, the enterprise is also bound to share the incidental results.

On the current planned economy to the market economy transition period, the city's business mergers, closures, laid-off workers to the government door sit-ins, marches happen from time to time, disrupting the normal order of the community and the normal work of the government; in addition, there is a part of the community in particular, want to be a private sector bosses, but don't know how to be. Wenzhou market economy is particularly developed, state-owned, private enterprises can synchronize the development of no laid-off workers, enterprises have difficulties not to find the mayor to find the market, Wenzhou, everyone can be the boss, this is why? These experiences are worthy of reference and learning, not to mention the Fifteenth National Congress of the Party advocated that the whole country learn from the Wenzhou model. In view of the social resources I have worked in Wenzhou, decided to play the Wenzhou hotel A implementation of the strategic thinking of the management of the Wenzhou brand, planning by the hotel stage, government-led, enterprises and institutions to participate in the first and second hand, "listening to the Wenzhou model lectures, eat Wenzhou chef dishes, see the Wenzhou management hotel" activities. As an opportunity, the hotel on the internal, comprehensive training - to improve the level and quality of service, local transformation - the introduction of Wenzhou catering; external, comprehensive social PR, reshaping the image of the hotel, rapid cohesion of the popularity of the reversal of the situation of poor management.

4. Planning case review

1) Case 1: the basic procedures for the opening ceremony ceremony, generally engaged in, but how to make the opening ceremony activities for marketing services, so that the activities before and after the opening ceremony has become a great opportunity for marketing activities, so that the opening ceremony ceremony is not purely a symbol of the opening of the business, but also the carrier of publicity and marketing. The planning of this case, highlighting two points: First, for the guests to bring auspicious, beautiful prospects of the advertising slogan - "Step into the East, life is brilliant." Ask: who does not want to go to a place that can make their life brilliant to consume, enjoy it? This advertising slogan is not only concise and clear, catchy, but also into the Oriental people a kind of spiritual pleasure and enjoyment, so that the guests of the hotel to produce affinity, shorten the distance between the guests and the hotel, will also enhance the loyalty of the guests to the hotel. Secondly, make full use of the government attaches importance to the policy of attracting investment, and actively encourage foreign investment, we use the joint venture project, it can be a legitimate invitation to the head of the local government to participate in the opening ceremony, because this is not a general business behavior, but involves the government's policy-oriented issues, with a certain degree of political significance. Therefore, local heads of government can usually be invited to such opening ceremonies. Since the local heads of state have participated, ask, what other departments, the head of the enterprise is not willing to come to participate in the opening ceremony of the good things? Not to mention our marketing work has long been done on the front. Since the head of government have come, the news media will naturally come uninvited, and sell to help do free publicity.

So, such an opening ceremony, such planning, in fact, has not been limited to the general level of the opening ceremony activities, but a great big marketing concept of the specific operation. Therefore, after the opening of the hotel, guests is a natural thing. Subsequent facts prove this, the first year of turnover jumped to the top of the local industry, and the provincial tourism bureau as a three-star hotel.

2) Case 2: the old hotel has been poorly run, to turn things around, it is difficult. But the use of large marketing concepts, find a good theme of eye-catching, well-planned, it is possible to make the old hotel back from the dead. For example, case 2 is the use of the spirit of the Fifteenth National Congress, the country to learn the Wenzhou model, to help solve some of the thorny social problems, and the development of planning. By "listening to the Wenzhou model lectures, eat Wenzhou famous chef dishes, see Wenzhou management hotel" activities, won the support of the government to convene the potential consumption of intermediate forces. And the hotel to take this opportunity to carry out comprehensive training, adjustment of products and services, the use of lectures during the show the new face of the old hotel, in one fell swoop to win the consumer's re-recognition and affirmation of the old hotel to re-emerge on a new journey laid the foundation.

3) Case 3: the operation of a relatively stable hotel, how to tap existing resources, inject new vitality, create new selling points, create new economic growth points, is a modern hotel in the fierce market competition, to be invincible, must consider and study the subject. This plan is for China Hardware City - Yongkang City, a four-star hotel, located in the specific market environment, the use of large market marketing theory, the use of hardware products throughout the world, hardware merchants gathered in Yongkang, as well as the national four A-level Fangyan scenic spot of resources, integrated operation, the hotel into the market needs, and With distinctive characteristics of the "business home, the store of tourists". In the process of providing targeted services and products for enterprises, merchants and scenic spots, the hotel also shares the rich source of customers and the rapidly growing social and economic benefits.

Four, the conclusion

1, systematic and scientific planning, so that the operation does not fight unprepared for the battle; and targeted planning operation, can achieve the effect of conventional business can not be expected.

2, operation by wisdom, success by planning. Planning is the success of business managers to manage modern hotels indispensable ability and method.

3, planning must pay attention to several matters:

1) planning, must be planned for the object of the internal and external market environment for comprehensive research.

2) Successful business planning, must use modern marketing concepts, to a full range of thinking, making full use of and tapping social resources, refining, processing, and creating a high degree of social concern about the theme.

3) Even better planning, detached from the understanding and support of superiors and the masses, it is difficult to implement. Therefore, planning in the implementation of the former must win the understanding and support of the upper and lower, and, in the implementation process, there should be a plan and step-by-step organization.
