Triangle Hotels Spend Thousands on Google Ads. Residents Next Door Book on Expedia.

Young professionals in Raleigh and Durham apartments walk past your hotel property regularly but book weekend staycations through OTAs because your hotel never registered as a local option. You pay 15-25% commission on bookings that should have been direct.

The Research Triangle's tech and biotech workforce has disposable income and loves local experiences. They would book your spa, your rooftop bar, your event space for a team offsite. But they default to Airbnb because your hotel feels like it's for out-of-towners, not neighbors.

Elevator ads change that perception. Residents in Raleigh, Durham, and Cary see your property daily. When they need a venue for a rehearsal dinner or a weekend getaway without leaving town, you're the first name they think of.

Why Hotels in Raleigh Choose Elevator Ads

Reach Residents Before They Book Elsewhere

Residents in nearby buildings see your hotel 4-6 times daily. When they need a staycation, event venue, or restaurant reservation, you're the name they remember.

Fill Weeknight Rooms With Local Guests

Hotels near residential towers can market spa packages, restaurant specials, and staycation offers directly to neighbors. Turn low-occupancy nights into local revenue without relying on OTAs.

Book Events Before Venues Are Searched

Condo boards and resident groups book holiday parties, weddings, and corporate events at hotels they see daily. Elevator ads put your venue in front of decision-makers months before they start planning.

Target Business Travelers Where They Work

Run campaigns in office towers near your hotel. Business travelers booking trips to the area see your property before they open Expedia. You control the message and avoid OTA fees.
