Turbocharged Event Sourcing with Ladidadi Events & Incentives
Background:
Ladidadi Events & Incentives, a creative experience agency, specializes in designing and executing immersive, memorable experiences that connect brands with their audiences. Ladidadi Events & Incentives is responsible for booking the host hotel for their clients’ meetings and events and is often asked to recommend hotels based on their extensive experience.
Before implementing HopSkip, Ladidadi faced a time-consuming and manual process for booking meetings and events. Their hotel event sourcing process involved leveraging their National Sales (NSOs) and Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) contacts and utilizing Google Sheets to track and compile hotel responses.
The Challenge:
The primary challenges Noelle and her team faced were the time-consuming nature of their process, the disorganization of information across different spaces, and the limitations of using Google Sheets to track and recommend properties. These inefficiencies led to reduced productivity and higher costs and limited the opportunities for Ladidadi to grow its client base.
The Solution:
HopSkip’s platform provided an intuitive user experience and specialized hotel sourcing tool, which streamlined the customer’s workflow and enabled their team to request and evaluate hotel venue options more efficiently. The platform’s PowerPoint feature proved to be a game-changer, eliminating the need for manually creating and consistently updating proposal PowerPoint presentations for their clients and allowing them to recommend hotels efficiently.
