As our audience continues to grow (3x year-over-year!) and our offerings continue to evolve, we've received lots of requests from companies who participate in multiple HTR initiatives and campaigns throughout the year for custom all-inclusive packages to help plan/budget better for the year ahead (and benefit from additional bundled package discounts).
And that's why we're rolling out all new Premium Membership Packages that include: 💸 lead credit, 🏆 HotelTechAwards, 📝Sponsored content, 📣 Advertising, 🤑 members only discounts and more!
If you are currently a Premium Member you are welcome to stay on your current membership for the duration of your membership period and will continue to receive your benefits at the time of signup (either with your 1.0 or 2.0 plan) as well as some new benefits.
If you would like to gain all of the benefits of the new Membership Packages you are able to upgrade at the difference in price between your current plan and the new plan you would like to upgrade to. Depending on your plan, new Membership Packages include:

P.S. We almost forgot #4...🐶We saved a life! Meet Zeus, HTR's new mascot!
Due to the COVID crisis, animal rescues have a shortage of volunteers which means tons of animals are being put to sleep. We decided to foster this little guy during the crisis to get him out of the kill shelter. If you'd like to foster or adopt a pet to keep you company in quarantine let us know and we'll share some tips/helpful resources.
Several members have requested to exchange content coverage for guest posting, lead credit or sponsored articles so as of this month if you are a member who has content coverage included with your plan you can opt to use your coverage for guest posting instead.
As a Premium Member on any 2.0 membership plan, you may opt for your credits to be used towards leads or content (amount varies based on your plan). Credits rollover and can be accumulated during the duration of your membership and only expire when your membership is downgraded. All members must indicate their preference while their membership is active.
Transfer rates: Trade 1 coverage article for 1 guest post, trade 2 coverage articles for one sponsored article, trade 1 coverage article for $200 in lead credit (default selection)
** If you don't have enough credits to place an order, you may purchase additional credits in the content shop
** If you'd like a real time update on your content credits you can request an updated balance at any time via live chat on HTR
(NEW) Update: Added Visibility for Premium Members (March 2022)
While all rankings on HTR are (and always will) be entirely based on customer reviews and the HT Score, there are additional placements throughout the site where premium members get enhanced brand placement and visibility through the lead booster perk.
Visibility and reputation are the key to generating more leads on Hotel Tech Report so making sure you are visible throughout the buying journey is critical which is why we're adding boosted visibility in select unbiased areas of the buyer journey.
Premium Members will now benefit from added visibility in HTR's RFP builder tool where hoteliers can select feature requirements, upload RFP documents and more to streamline their workflow and gather information faster in the research process to find the best fit for their hotels.
Hoteliers typically consider 2-3 options when narrowing down their consideration set during the research process so now Premium Members get priority placement and more chances to slide right into hoteliers' consideration set with boosted visibility in direct lead requests.
Every great innovation in history started with a young startup company. The problem is that young companies are resource constrained and launching a product in the world of hotel tech is particularly challenging to compete with entrenched competitors who have much larger sales and marketing budgets.
That's why HTR offers Early Stage plans for eligible companies to help bring more innovation to the industry by enabling young companies to leverage the largest audience of hotel tech buyers on the web to educate buyers, build their brand and grow their install base 🚀
The purpose of Early Stage plans is to help startups maximize investments in R&D and make marketing more accessible to prove out their concepts so please make sure your company is eligible prior to applying.
The Early Stage Plan is automatically unlocked in the vendor dashboard for 1-year if your company meets any of the eligibility criteria below. Companies can remain on the Early Stage Plan for up to 2-years, but must apply after the first year to verify eligibility.
Eligible startups get access to most of HTR's Members only Premium features, benefits and exclusive discounts at 50% discounted pricing while you get your startup off the ground, gain traction and prove out your concept.
Now when Premium Members post a press release to share their latest company news and announcements they will also be featured in HTR's new monthly newsletter, theRewind, with more than 4,000+ opt-in subscribers to boost their visibility and keep your brand top of mind with hoteliers.
Update: Feb '20 theRewind newsletter Stats (list size = 22k, open=28%, click = 11%)
