Blue Clover Earns International Recognition
Local branding firm hired by France-based hotel network
San Antonio, TX – Blue Clover is luring new clients from across the globe. Paris-based Hotels & Preference (H&P)—a network of privately owned properties with more than 100 superb hotels and resorts in locations throughout Europe—has now joined Blue Clover’s burgeoning client list.
With the help of Blue Clover—a versatile, fast moving On and Off-Line Branding™ firm based in San Antonio—H&P management is reaching out to its audiences throughout the world through promotions such as e-mail blasts, innovative marketing in the United States’ top airports, and a public relations campaign to expand its membership in North America and increase reservations for its hotels and resorts.
“I have been looking for a long time to find the right marketing and communications partner,” said Jerome Serot, managing director for H&P North America. “Blue Clover is not only the most capable but also fit perfectly with our business mind set. Nobody understands better that it is not the ‘what’ but the ‘how’ that matters.”
H&P is a network of privately-owned, independent properties with more than 100 hotels and resorts throughout the world, including France, England, Belgium, Madeira, Poland, Russia, Canada, Hungary, the Caribbean, Czech Republic, Saint Barthelemy, Monte Carlo, the United States and Morocco. Comprised of Four- and Five-Star properties, H&P selects members based on rigorous standards including fine cuisine, spa and relaxation offerings, and location of property. It provides a full array of services, such as global reservations marketing, communications and web-based technical support. “Blue Clover is proud to help an international network like Hotels & Preference grow even more,” said José B. Sena, president, CEO and founding partner, Blue Clover. “We are also honored that H&P has provided an exclusive discount code for our clients, family, friends and vendors who plan to stay at one of their many hotels and resorts, so we can contribute to their goals.”
