Luxury Dublin Hotel Bans All Social Media Influencers

Sure the "influencer" was a bit silly thinking that they were that big of a deal but in all honesty the influencer was not rude and was just asking because things like this happen all the time, sometimes it is even a free flight to somewhere and a really nice experience for a travel advert far more cost than a stay at a hotel (normally this is only pretty famous "influencers"

The manager was rather rude suggesting that "who will pay for x and y" the whole Idea is that putting up this "influencer" for free would bring in more money from other people that are influenced that would eventually make up for the free stay, the manager even said she had little dignity. the manager should have just said something friendly but saying no, not being horribly rude to someone who did not deserve it.

Overall very bad management from the hotel and a polite but too optimistic "influencer"

Looks like the Social Influencer didn't check the hotel's social media strategy before contacting them.

They happily spend £100s of facebook ads or newspaper adverts,

Not only that, but I suspect any influence they might have had has crashed as a result of this debacle, especially when you consider they were bounced from such a low scale establishment.

Any people who are genuinely influenced by people like this really ought to take a good hard look in the mirror.

Quite silly of the hotel. They happily spend £100s of facebook ads or newspaper adverts, that most people ignore.

whilst consumers actually engage and pay attention to where instagramers go.

I have friends approached by a few brands and the CPM they offer you is really low, compared to what google or facebook charge

The owner is *very* aware of the marketing stategy that works for them.

He has a sense of humour, which is more than can be said for some of the puritan snowflakes leaving comments. Excellent!

On the contrary, the hotel manager was perfectly polite. He certainly didn't grovel or soften his message but he didn't insult anyone either, and merely bluntly refused a specious and blunt begging letter. It all seems fair enough to me. Pointing out that in his opinion the beggar lacked dignity was neither rude nor untrue.

I mean saying that someone lacks dignity is certainly rude.

Now you're the one who looks silly without doing even the most basic of research on this hotel, much like the original influencer.

You're going to have to explain to me how the manager is the douche in this scenario?

It is a simple statement of opinion.

In fairness a lot of people will happily ignore these Instagram plebs as well...

Nah im flawless.

I was speaking generally about brands who dm my friends

Do you have low self esteem or something? Putting others down to try feel better about yourself is sad
