The Hotelstuff website, developed by Flow Communications, is a directory of anything and everything you may need – for home, hotel or office.
Launched in 2001, this online directory is a useful way to source the best in home, office, healthcare, beauty and design. Its sister website, Greenstuff, makes it easier to search for the best eco-friendly options for you.
Says programming studio manager Richard Frank: “Hotelstuff was in fact two websites driven from the same CMS (Content Management System) – hotelstuff.co.za and greenstuff.co.za. We developed the two sites to use similar navigational concepts, but still have distinct brands.
“The challenge was transferring all the data from the old Hotelstuff to the new CMS, and ensuring the website had no downtime during the transition. We believe the new site has a platform that will enable the Hotelstuff brand to grow into the future.”
To get your company listed, there is a once-off annual subscription. Subscribers enjoy benefits such as:
- A company page in the Hotelstuff online directory
- A newsletter sent to over 20 000 hoteliers and other people in the hospitality industry, private individuals, architects, procurement agents, etc., which contains information about the latest in workshops and trade exhibitions
- Networking opportunities through professional associations with industry experts
Each year, Hotelstuff founder Lorraine Jenks designs a calendar of popular events such as Decorex, Hostex and Grand Designs, tourism Indaba, Wastex Africa – all aimed at driving awareness and traffic to the website’s listed directories.
“The website is working well and the work is professionally done,” Jenks says of the Hotelstuff website.
