Dessutom indikerar studiens resultat att ESS Group använder tre typer av strategier, nämligen interna, interaktiva och externa, i syftet att bygga långsiktiga relationer med sina intressenter. Resultatet av studien visar att strategierna inkluderar en effektiv intern kommunikation med inkludering av medarbetare i samskapandet av varumärket, ett minnesvärt interaktivt möte med gästen och en trovärdig extern kommunikation. Sammanfattningsvis betonar studien vikten av implementeringen från ledningen, det lokala ägandeskapet av hotellen och medarbetarnas involvering. Därmed visar studien värdet av trovärdighet och långsiktighet för att bygga relationer och skapa stamgäster. (Less)
- Abstract
- This study aims to examine the house of brands strategy within the hotel industry, as well as to understand the relationship building strategies for brands and the communication of them.

The results of the study illustrate how the house of brands strategy is used by creating the foundation of the brands centrally at ESS Group, but with the possibility of local ownership at the different hotels. Furthermore, the results of the study indicate that ESS Group is using three types of strategies, namely internal, interactive and external, in order to build long-term relationships with their stakeholders. The results of the study demonstrate that the used strategies consist of an effective internal communication with inclusion of the employees, a memorable interaction with the guest, and a trustworthy external communication. In conclusion, the study emphasises the implementation from the management, the local ownership of the hotel, and the involvement of the employees. Accordingly, the study shows the importance of being trustworthy with a long-term perspective in order to build relationships and create recurring guests. (Less)
