How Nena Apartments Boosted Productivity and Improved Guest Ratings Using MARA

Eric Girnt, the Operation Manager of Nena Apartments, was battling the challenge of low response rates due to a small team handling reviews for all their apartment properties. The quality of responses was often compromised due to time constraints, negatively impacting the guest experience and rating.

With MARA's AI-empowered solution, Nena Apartments not only automated large parts of their review response process but also significantly improved the quality of their responses. Now, every guest feels acknowledged, and their feedback is effectively utilized for the continuous improvement of the guest experience.

Objectives

Nena Apartments was seeking a solution that could make their review volume manageable with a small team. The goals were to maximize the automation of the response process, learn efficiently from feedback to enhance the guest experience, and improve response rates and quality. Due to their small team size, responding to all reviews was a strenuous task, often resulting in low-quality replies or no response at all. This not only affected guest engagement, but also critical guest ratings.

Efficient Review Management Process

Automating the Response Process

Due to time constraints and the sheer volume of reviews, he wanted to implement a system that could automate a significant portion of the response process and ensure each guest received a timely, personalized response.

Effective Guest Feedback Analysis

Lastly, the team was looking for a method to sort through and analyze the feedback received from guests effectively. This process was crucial in helping them identify areas of improvement and implement changes to enhance the guest experience.
