The concept of Flip.to is multi-faceted but is based on a simple one- word-of-mouth is a compelling and trusted form of marketing. Flip.to allows a hotel to create evangelists out of its employees, associates, partners - but more importantly - a hotel's guests and a restaurant's patrons. Every time one of these target groups uses Flip.to, they become instrumental in reinforcing the hotel's message by sending it out to their friends and followers on their social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Email) - in essence, becoming an extension of the hotel's sales force and public relations efforts.
Flip.to can integrate with a hotel's booking engine so that each guest can spread the word to his friends and colleagues about their upcoming stay right after they’ve made a reservation – with built-in incentives for both the guests and his or her followers to take action. Flip.to tracks each participant’s activity, so a hotel manager has analytics that show everyone's activity on all social networks at any given moment.
