ROI Calculation​

Example: 150-Room Hotel​

Assumptions:

  • Average occupancy: 70% = 105 rooms/night
  • Average stay: 2.5 nights
  • WiFi connection rate: 85% = 89 guests/day
  • Email capture rate: 40% = 36 emails/day
  • Monthly email subscribers: 1,080

Revenue Impact:

1. Upsell Revenue:

Spa promotion: 5% conversion = 4.5 guests/day
4.5 × $150 treatment = $675/day
$675 × 30 days = $20,250/month

Restaurant reservation: 10% conversion = 9 guests/day
9 × $75 average check = $675/day
$675 × 30 days = $20,250/month

Room upgrades: 3% conversion = 2.7 upgrades/day
2.7 × $50 upgrade = $135/day
$135 × 30 days = $4,050/month

Subtotal: $44,550/month

2. Loyalty Program:

New member enrollments: 20% = 18/day
18 × 30 = 540 new members/month
Increased lifetime value: $150 per member
540 × $150 = $81,000 additional lifetime value

3. Direct Booking Increase:

Member direct bookings: 15% increase
Monthly room revenue: $450,000
15% × $450,000 = $67,500
10% OTA commission saved = $6,750/month

4. Review Generation:

Review requests: 89 guests/day × 30 = 2,670/month
Review rate increase: 20% to 35% = +15%
2,670 × 15% = 400 additional reviews/year
Value per review: $50 (reputation impact)
400 × $50 = $20,000/year = $1,667/month

Total Monthly Impact: $52,967

Cost:

IronWifi: $65/month (5-10 APs)
Email marketing: $50/month (Constant Contact)
Total Cost: $115/month

Monthly Profit: $52,852
ROI: 45,958% 🚀
