Fresh Appeal is honored to submit the following proposal to provide premier hotel, motel amenities for the personal care of your guests.

It has come to our attention that your company will be completing construction on 17 hotels across the United States in the spring and you are committed to providing to your guests the finest personal care products available. You require these hotels to be completely outfitted with all amenities prior to opening as well as an adequate on hand inventory. This initial outfitting and on hand inventory is required to be completed between 19 – 25 April, 2005.
Proposed Approach and Work Plan
Fresh Appeal will ensure that each room is equipped with all required amenities and your storerooms will be adequately stocked to maintain operations for approximately 30 days before a reorder is necessary. Specifically, we will outfit each room individually to your specifications with the desired amenities of your choice and we will deliver the remaining additional inventory to the designated storerooms. Delivery will occur on the 12th of April, 2005 at each location. A representative from our company will be at each site to coordinate the delivery and ensure that all products are received and appropriately stored until the distribution is to take place. Upon completion of outfitting the rooms and storerooms, a detailed inventory list will be provided showing what was placed in each room as well as what is remaining in the storerooms. At that time, our company

The Wyndham has executed a compliance program to strengthen ethics throughout the company. They have drafted a thorough Code of Business Conduct that has received top scores from the Ethisphere Institute for its comprehensiveness and availability to stakeholders. Another way the Wyndham contributes to customer is creating a customer relationships. When consumers think about and associate the Wyndham hotel company the first thought that should come to hand is an upscale hotel chains that targets high end consumers. However, the Wyndham targets travelers from across the world and social status. For example, they have different hotels that expend the reach of consumers some of them include Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Wyndham Garden, and Wyndham Grand Collection, Days Inn, Super 8, Travel Lodge, and others.

The external environment of the hotel industry in is very competitive and already well established. Trends in the market include promotional campaigns to customers using the "more bang for your buck," method. There are several different segments of the hotel industry including: luxury, upscale, mid-market with food and beverage, mid-market without food and beverage, economy, and budget. Each different segment offers certain amenities to appeal to consumers depending on what they are looking for in an over night stay away from home. As McDonald's looks at entering the hotel industry they have looked at several important issues dealing with an entry into this market. McDonald's would like to enter the market in the state of Illinois where the company's headquarters is. Illinois leads all other states in money spent on tourism totaling $61.1 million in the year 2000. Illinois also ranked fourth in the nation for leisure person trips in 2000. Hotel industry has several important barriers to entry including cost of entry, ability to differentiate from other hotels, and competition in every hotel segment.

Ramada, like most mid-tier hotels, had become stagnant in customer service ratings. Management of Ramada Franchise Systems (RFS) knew that it was only a matter of time before ratings began to drop and true problems developed. RFS knew it was time to address the situation at hand. In doing so, RFS went to some of the leaders in customer service – Disney, Southwest Airlines, and Carlson Hospitality.
The Hotel industry has become very important in the past years due to immense traveling and growth of international business. Hotel industry not only plays an important role in the life of people but as well as the economy of the country. Development and advancement in the Hotel industry have rapidly been taking place and especially since the rapid change in technology, it is very important for hotels to be promptly keeping up to date.

Founded in 1919, Hilton Worldwide has remained a beacon of innovation, quality, and success. What Hilton Worldwide calls their mission statement imposes its worldwide high status: “We will be the preeminent global hospitality company - the first choice of guests, team members and owners alike.” Fierce competition, however, does currently exist among hotel corporations within the market. Marriott International, Hilton’s main competitor, currently stands as the third-ranked world leader within the industry (according to hospitalitynet.org), coming in after Hilton. Other competition faced by Hilton comes from Wyndham Worldwide, Starwood Hotels and Resorts, and Best Western, to name a few. Affiliated with ten different hotel brands, Hilton Worldwide provides its guests with the advantage of choosing from any one of their 4,000 operating hotels located throughout 90 different countries. This has evidently contributed to Hilton Worldwide becoming one of the top leaders (ranked second to be exact) in the hospitality industry, despite their competition. The vision of Hilton Worldwide is “to fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality.” As the modern luxury hotel, Hilton has created a prestigious heritage with a modern attitude. The values of Hilton Hotels are stated uniquely, giving one value to each letter that constitutes the word for the hotel brand. “H” stands for Hospitality– “We are passionate about delivering exceptional guest experiences”; “I” stands for Integrity– “We do the right thing, all the time”; “L” stands for Leadership– “We are leaders in our industry and in our communities”; “T” stands for Teamwork– “We are team players in everything we do”; “O” stands for Ownership– “We are the owners of our actions and dec...
