How would Brexit impact hotels?

How would Brexit impact hotels?

In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s quite an important referendum going on in the UK this week. This Thursday, the UK will decide whether to remain in the EU or whether to leave. So-called “Brexit”. We’ve all been glued to the arguments for and against for weeks now, and we’re no different here at AQ Bottled Water.

There’s certainly a lot to consider. But we thought we’d consider the impact of our departure from the EU on an industry we know rather well. The hotel industry. And it’s a mixed bag of results, if we’re honest!

One impact of the UK leaving …
Make the most of your destination hotel

Make the most of your destination hotel

Here on the AQ Bottled Water blog, we often talk about bottled water provision for our hotel clients. We’ve looked at own label branding for holiday cottages, how to make sure your brand is seen at local destinations, and how to get involved with local opportunities.

But what about when your hotel IS the destination? What do you do then?

Earlier today The Telegraph printed a list of the best zoo hotels in the UK, with rooms looking out over the enclosures, and special zoo access included in the price. And you don’t have to look far on the we to find …
Botted Water for… Holiday Cottages?

Botted Water for… Holiday Cottages?

We often discuss our provision of own label, bespoke bottled water to help hotels with their branding and promotion. We even have our own hashtag for exactly that in our #waterforhotels. But today, we want to look at a lesser talked-about part of the UK’s travel and lesiure trade – holiday cottages.

The Guardian recently published a list of the best holiday cottages in the UK, and with Summer in the air, what better time to think about these Great British staycation favourites?

The Guardian’s list showcases some truly beautiful holiday homes, from a railway cabin in the Brecon Beacons, to stunning …

Hotels – A Disney-tastic new opportunity…

As usual, as providers of own label bottled water for hotels, here at AQ Bottled Water we’ve been keeping an eye on potentail developements for the industry.

And this week, there’s been a big one! Did you spot this story about the proposed ‘British Disneyland’, set to be finished in North Kent as soon as 2021? The internet was awash with discussion, with people all over social media and news sites speculating about what the new site could involve. Exciting though the project’s proposed Adventure Isle, Port Bay and Legends Castle would be, we’re more interested in the potential for opportunity.

Don’t Miss The Brandwagon

Don’t Miss The Brandwagon

Here at AQ Bottled Water, when we’re not busy producing bespoke own label bottles for our clients, we like to stop to think about market trends, and the importance of good branding.

This month, we’ve been thinking about #Shakespeare400 – the year ofevents surrounding the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death on 23rd April. To add our commemorations to the mix, we’re looking for Shakespeare themed hotels to promote on Twitter. If you run one, or you’ve been to one – do let us know!

The message here for all businesses, however, is that it’s always good to look outside the immediacy of …

Luxury doesn’t have to mean chocolate

As leaders in the own label bottled water field, we know how perfect our products are for those in the hotel trade. And that’s not just because they’re a great way of promoting your business – it seems they’re a priority for customers, too.

This article in the Guardian last week, written from the perspective of a hotel guest, pointed out, rather pointedly in fact, that seasoned travellers are fed up of being treated like children. Citing the recent Sugar Tax, the author lists the sugary sweet, nostaglia driven products they’ve found in hotel rooms over the years.

And with bottled water …
Here’s an idea…

Here’s an idea…

Here at AQ Bottled Water, we’re always on the look out for fun new ideas for your personalised water bottles.

This week, whilst on our travels, we spotted these on the table of a street-side pub.

Here, they’ve used existing, branded bottles for their table centre piece. But, naturally, we can’t help but think how great this would look with own label water bottles?

Particularly if you run a hotel, and have flowers in vases on your restaurant table tops – why not consider something like this instead?

Your tables will look great, and be on-brand too!
Don’t leave your guests guessing – bottled water for the hotel industry

Don’t leave your guests guessing – bottled water for the hotel industry

Here at AQ Bottled Water, we don’t need to be told twice about how useful branded bottled water can be for your business. But in this week’s blog post, we want to specifically look at how bottled water could be useful for the hotel industry.

Many hotels these days provide a whole host of branded items for their guests, from shampoo, to showercaps to dressing gowns. These look great, and certainly all help with branding. There’s one problem with this, however. Most of these items (in the majority of cases at least!) stay in the hotel room.

This means that your carefully …
