Why hotels in Melbourne are worth a list of your own

Hotels range from family run guest houses to branded properties with a general manager and department heads. Independent hotels decide on site, while group hotels often buy through a central team, so finding the right person matters as much as the offer.

Start with Melbourne itself and keep Geelong, Ballarat and Hobart as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same hotel twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Victoria is done.

Your competitors are already emailing hotels in Melbourne. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.

Fields worth recording for hotels in Melbourne

Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for hotels.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
RoomsRoom count is the clearest sign of size and budget.
Star ratingRating shapes expectations for amenities and service.
Independent or chainChain hotels often buy centrally, independents decide locally.
Restaurant or eventsHotels with food and events buy far more than rooms only.
General managerThe name of the decision maker once you find it.

What slows down prospecting hotels, and the fix

The reservations address goes to front desk staff who do not pass sales mails on.

Tick events@ and info@ as well in email from domain and note which address brought a reply.

Chain and independent hotels need completely different approaches.

Add a field for ownership type and save a filter for each, with its own campaign.

Big hotel lists lead to overlap between colleagues.

Duplicate checks on import and one shared database keep every hotel in one place.

What to say to hotels in Melbourne

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets hotels to click.

  • Tie your offer to guest reviews, because hotels watch their scores closely.
  • Address occupancy and the quieter season, when a hotel is open to new ideas.
  • Ask for the right department head, since the reception address rarely reaches the buyer.

Emailing hotels in Australia

In Australia, the Spam Act 2003 requires consent for commercial electronic messages, which can be express or, in limited cases, inferred, for example from a conspicuously published work address when the message relates to the recipient's role. Every message must also identify the sender and include a working unsubscribe option, and unsubscribe requests must be honoured within five business days. This is general information, not legal advice.

Managers are easier to reach outside peak season and away from check-in and check-out hours, so late morning midweek works well. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.

Questions people ask

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.

Yes. Put Melbourne in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Melbourne. You always see which part of the market you already worked.

No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the hotels yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.

In independent hotels it is usually the owner or general manager. Record the name in a field when you find it, and use a role address such as info@ until then.

Yes. Add a number field for rooms and filter on it, for example hotels with more than a certain number of rooms.
