Months 2–3: Guest Usage Builds
Usage grows as more guests encounter the experience
Signature routes emerge (e.g., sunrise runs, orientation walks)
Your team becomes more comfortable recommending RunGo naturally
At this stage, RunGo starts to feel like a seamless extension of your concierge offering.
End of 90 Days: Review & Optimize
Identify most-used routes and engagement patterns
Refine placement or messaging where needed
Remove or adjust touchpoints that feel less natural
Reinforce those that drive consistent usage
Key Insight:
The biggest driver of success is visibility — when guests know it’s there, they use it.
What Drives Guest Engagement
Guest Usage & Engagement
Properties that actively surface RunGo across multiple touchpoints see consistent weekly usage
Signature routes “Sunrise waterfront run” or “Orientation walk” tend to become the most used
Guests engage more when the experience is positioned as part of exploring the destination — not just fitness
Rollout Approach (What Works Best)
Pre-arrival email mention: “Explore the destination on foot”
QR code or printed card in-room or at concierge
Optional placement in hotel app or website
The goal is simple: make discovery effortless and natural.
Team Adoption (Key to Long-Term Success)
The most successful hotels have one internal champion
(often concierge, front office, or marketing)Once introduced, RunGo becomes an easy, repeatable recommendation:
“What should I do nearby?”
The experience integrates into daily guest interactions — without adding workload
Continuity Over Time
If team members change, the program remains intact
New staff can easily adopt it through simple exposure and use
Because RunGo is guest-facing and self-guided, it does not rely on constant internal management
Ongoing Program (12 Months & Beyond)
From Feature → Experience
Over time, RunGo becomes part of how guests experience your destination — not just a tool, but a curated way to explore.
Evolving What Works at Your Property
Each property naturally develops its own best approach:
Some see strongest engagement from pre-arrival emails
Others from in-room placement or concierge recommendations
Many use a combination of 2–3 consistent touchpoints
We continuously learn from real guest behavior:
Keep what feels natural and performs well
Remove or refine what doesn’t
Optimize based on actual usage patterns, not assumptions
This creates a program that fits your property — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
