57. LinkedIn® professional networking services Privacy Settings, Related To Our Furnished Apartment Sector
Below is a discussion post/thread that I want to share and discuss/post here.
LinkedIn® professional networking services has recently changed the user privacy settings, by default, to give it permission to include photos, posts and related activities of LinkedIn® professional networking services Users in third party paid advertising. Thus making the user an implied endorser of a company, product or service, without his/her explicit consent.
The actual text reads as follows:
"LinkedIn® professional networking services may sometimes pair an advertiser's message with social content from LinkedIn® professional networking services's network in order to make the ad more relevant. When LinkedIn® professional networking services members recommend people and services, follow companies, or take other actions, their name/photo may show up in related ads shown to you.
Conversely, when you take these actions on LinkedIn® professional networking services, your name/photo may show up in related ads shown to LinkedIn® professional networking services members. By providing social context, we make it easy for our members to learn about products and services that the LinkedIn® professional networking services network is interacting with."
Thanks for the post/news above...
I have been on LinkedIn® professional networking services since 2003 — member #512 — and over the last several years — I have been actively engaging with moderators who run/own the largest LinkedIn® professional networking services groups in the world — those with 100,000+ members, to be/stay on the leading-edge of what is happening across/around LinkedIn® professional networking services.
LinkedIn® professional networking services is constantly shifting/changing their guidelines regarding privacy settings, especially since they became a public company earlier this year. And related to this — the user interface [the screen you are looking at---right now] is being changed/tweaked almost daily. These small/subtle changes — are making LinkedIn® professional networking services even better/easier/faster & more powerful to use.
Since LinkedIn® professional networking services is about *business networking*, different than Facebook — which is about personal relationships — the best privacy settings on LinkedIn® professional networking services are the settings that allow your/our corporate decision-makers the best/easiest access to us — and giving them the fastest way to reach and be in touch with us. If you would like a six-page PDF that we give/gift to our coaching clients when doing expert LinkedIn® professional networking services sales training — send me a quick note and I would be happy to share it. [ ].
And as you can imagine [**smile — we've had to update our suggested guidelines for account & privacy settings — nearly monthly, because of the constant updates/changes by LinkedIn® professional networking services.
Serious issues with LinkedIn® professional networking services remain on two fronts — related to the corporate housing & serviced apartment sector:
A. Who are you connecting with---and why? Who should you never connect with — and why?
B. When a team member leaves a corporate housing and/or serviced apartment company — who owns their connections? Who maintains/keeps their LinkedIn® professional networking services profile? What are the industry best practices for setting up company LinkedIn® professional networking services profiles?
On LinkedIn® professional networking services, 115 million members/leaders are actively using LinkedIn® professional networking services to connect, network and earn more money. The average age of those on LinkedIn® professional networking services is 46 years old, average income is $109,703 per year, 58% have a college education, LinkedIn® professional networking services users are investing valuable time on 7.1 billion page views per month, and 52% of those on LinkedIn® professional networking services are C-level executives and senior/middle managers.
Sound like the profile of those who buy corporate housing & serviced apartments? *smile*
In the corporate housing & serviced apartment sector + the related hospitality industry…150,000+ industry professionals are leveraging the LinkedIn® professional networking services network with success. In my 25+ years of sales and marketing…I have never seen a better/fastest way to connect with corporate decision-makers and be able to drive/add more revenue and sales---than with LinkedIn® professional networking services. Never.
Your take on privacy settings? Your observations about LinkedIn® professional networking services as a tool to drive/add more furnished apartments?

are doing to contain their hotel costs and airline rates that are both
increasing for 2011

LinkedIn® professional networking services posts — and the increases in apartment rental rates that
will continue well into 2012?

transportation, travel and lodging expenses. How are you and your team
utilizing this strategy in your sales/marketing efforts to fill more
furnished suites? What guidance are you giving your clients regarding
compliance? How is compliance helping or hurting your ability to add/sell

Surf the url below,
http://www.hotelinteractive.com/article.aspx?articleid=20173
Another bright/positive trend for these economic
times, yes?
My PowerHour office and team — is based in Park City, Utah —
the home of three wonderful ski resorts — and the 2002 Olympics.
No trip/vacation/destination is more expensive than a ski vacation.
And related to the luxury trends/spending mentioned in this article
above — it's been a strong/record ski year — and the resorts
and local businesses are celebrating.
Big picture — if the affluent are back spending money on ski
vacations and business/companies are back spending money/time on luxury
accommodations and hotel/hospitality options — then businesses
are back investing in their companies, hiring new employees and making
decisions about capital expenditure projects. This means — the
fluidity of financial flow — is back greasing the wheels of economic
strides forward — good/great news for the corporate housing sector,
yes?

the major markets in 2010. This will further increase the cost for an
extended-stay room.

13. Rent Increases On The Way
Bright/positive economic trends.are coming for the apartment communities
that are providing your furnished suites. But on the flip-side this
is going to mean higher monthly rents, less availability and less lease
flexibility and room for rental rate negotiations.
Surf the urls below:

http://www.thestreet.com/story/10965555/1/rentals-offer-the-one-bright-spot-in-housing.html
Three things jump off the page:
1. Double-digit rent increases are coming.
2. In some markets.rents are already going up 7% to 8%. And in markets
like Miami — high occupancy is triggering waiting lists.
3. In 2010, developers broke ground on only 114,000 rental units —
and 2011 is forecasted at 133,000 rental units not nearly enough to
cover expected demand. Low supply and high demand = higher rents
Your take on these trends.as it relates to corporate housing and your
furnished apartments?

Surf below — this article about hotel industry trends for 2011.
http://nreionline.com/finance/news/u_s__motel_market_recovery_0110/
Three key points — jumped out for me:
1. Hotel operators are raising their average daily rate.
2. Hotel demand is increasing by corporate/business travels. We like
the correlation between this trend — and business travelers who
need a furnished apartments.
3. Hotel inventory/supply is down — for new hotel rooms —
thus less supply = higher daily rates.
Based on these trends — how are these trends reflected in your
pricing strategies? And given the improvement of occupancy at apartment
communities — how is this impacting your inventory selection and
lease negotiations/flexibility?
We
are following/tracking the leading-edge trends going into 2011 —
and we see green shoots from 2010 turning into green lawns! Are you?

11. Surveys Reveal Brighter Days Ahead For U.S.
Travel Industry
Surf this article about 2011 travel industry trends below.
http://www.hotelinteractive.com/article.aspx?articleID=19192
Three key points — jumped out for me:
1. Monthly reports of new job losses have abated and the index of consumer
confidence has displayed a modest upward trajectory in recent months.
2. Hotel rates will rise modestly in the majority of U.S. markets,
and aggressively in a few such as New York and Miami, driven by the
combined impact of growing demand from business travelers and the hiatus
in new hotel construction observed during the past two years.
3. The bed bug problem will continue to pose challenges for hoteliers
in selected urban destinations as it is now clearly on the minds of
all travelers: a remarkable 31 percent of U.S. travelers are “very/extremely”
concerned about an encounter with bed bugs on a future hotel stay; another
29 percent are “somewhat” concerned.
We are following/tracking the leading-edge trends going into 2011 —
we see green shoots from 2010 turning into green lawns! Are you?

10. Dynamic Pricing, Hotels Versus Corporate Housing
See below — an article about dynamic pricing in the hotel sector.
IHG
Claims Growing Use Of Dynamic Pricing
http://www.management.travel/news.php?cid=dynamic-pricing-growing-IHG.Dec-10.15
In the hotel sector, dynamic pricing has been part of their business
model for the last 10+ years. And their pricing strategies can shift
daily and weekly.
What is your approach to the pricing of your furnished suites? What
are the trends for pricing in your specific market? How is it similar/different
when compared to competing extended-stay hotels and other corporate
housing companies? How often are you shopping/comparing pricing in your
market---then tucking this into your sales presentations/proposals?
How is your pricing strategy being included in the sales scripts being
using by your inside sales team…when they are handling inbound
leads and prospects?

4. Record extended-stay bookings in 2010
Just saw/read the news below — and because the extended-stay
market is so closely related to our corporate housing sector/industry
— I wanted to share this with you.
Extended-stay
hotel room nights accommodated in 2010 were the highest ever recorded
in the first nine months of a year and room revenues hit a record for
any third quarter period, according to The Highland Group's US Extended-Stay
Lodging Report: Third Quarter 2010. Double-digit demand growth combined
with a sharp decline in new rooms opening caused occupancy to rise more
than 10%. Quarterly changes in extended-stay average rate turned positive
following six consecutive quarters of decline. Extended-stay hotel RevPar
should be up 7% to 8% in 2010 compared to 2009.
The rate of increase in extended-stay hotel supply plummeted to its
lowest level in at least 15 years and it will go even lower in 2011.
Record low supply growth coupled with rising demand and room rates portends
even stronger extended-stay hotel RevPar growth in 2011 than in 2010.
Your take on these trends for 2010? Your thoughts on how extended-stay
hotels are impacting your revenue?
