Guests check their key card many times a day. That makes the back of the card one of the most-seen spaces in your hotel. Used well, it can promote your own services or bring in income from local partners.
Promote your own services
- Restaurant or bar: opening times and a QR code to the menu
- Spa or gym: hours and how to book
- Room service: the extension number
- Direct booking: a QR code to your website for the next stay
Sell space to local businesses
Restaurants, taxi firms, tour operators and attractions near you want to reach visitors. A small advert on the key card, in return for a fee or a guest discount, can cover the cost of the cards.
Seasonal campaigns
Short runs make it practical to print a Christmas menu card, a summer terrace promotion or a conference-sponsor design, then switch back.
Keep it readable
One message per card works best. Keep text large enough to read without glasses, and keep the room number off the card for security. See hotel key card design ideas.
Track the results
Use a unique QR code or offer code on each design so you can see which promotions guests use.
