traditional br<strong>and</strong> image<br />

creative concepts<br />

such as Intercontinental<br />

Hotels promoting<br />

its tag line about “living<br />

the Intercontinental<br />

life” <strong>and</strong> Sheraton’s<br />

“big moments are<br />

better when shared.”<br />

Some product benefits<br />

are featured such<br />

as Marriott’s “flexible<br />

work spaces” or<br />

Fairfield’s promise to<br />

give the traveler “what<br />

they need to work<br />

freely” — free WiFi,<br />

breakfast, <strong>and</strong> more<br />

for less, which implies<br />

value for the stay, not<br />

so much a discount on<br />

room rates.<br />

Then, there is the announcement<br />

about the<br />

unveiling of renovated<br />

rooms <strong>and</strong> public<br />

areas on a large scale.<br />

concentration in<br />

the Southwest, focused<br />

all of its TV <strong>and</strong> magazine<br />

ads on rolling out<br />

the new look.<br />
