Let us add the 'Sparkle' to your Christmas Party for 2010

The Mount Errigal Hotel has just released details of their premium christmas party pacakges for 2010, after much deliberation, the hotel decided that they wanted to create a sparkling, premium, top class experience for their guests at last years price!

Many hotels have went down the route of slashing their prices for party nights, making it almost impossible for them to provide the best in entertainment, service and food, however, last year the Mount Errigal learnt that people want good quality entertainment, good quality in food and service - all for a reasonable price.

The Mount Errigal Hotel is host to one of the largest function rooms in the North West of Ireland, making each of their party nights the 'hot spot' with at least 600 people per night. Each year the hotel has sold out every night very early in September and prior to release of their dates, they have had numerous bookings already from all over Ireland.

The hotel has spared no expense in flying in the UK's top Abba Band, Abba Reunion, who have toured Europe for 4 years and performed in the West End in London. They are also flying in the World's best Beatles Tribute, 'The Classic Beatles', who have performed with Sir George Martin, been requested by the Queen and have just returned from a concert in Latvia where they performed to a crowd of over 20,000 people!

Your night of glamour will commence with a warm welcome from one of their party hosts and a glass of Champagne by one of the hotels many open fires, enjoy the smooth tones of Ireland's Premier Crooner Dougie Breslin during your 4 course sumptuous dinner, let the excitement begin when the big band takes to the stage and be prepared for a spectacular show both musically and visually then dance until the 'wee hours' with Dj John Bosco.

Record Results @ Mount Errigal Hotel

The Mount Errigal Hotel is enjoying phenomenal, record results since January 2010. The hotel believes its recent success is down to a whole spectrum of reasons, some of the main ones would be as follow

• Improving Front Line Service Staff & Overall Customer Service

• Listening to their customers feedback & acting on it religiously


• Introducing a new Marketing Strategy online & offline with a new focus on Social Media
  

Basically, they identified that tough times were ahead and when Carolynne Harrison, Sales & Marketing Manager joined them back in August 2009, they pledged that they would not be defeated and their first focus would be on the 'Customer Experience', from the second they clicked on our website or called us, to booking, to arriving, to dining, to sleeping, departing and reviewing their stay. Carolynne is surprised at how big an impact some basic 'tweaking' can have on a business and they have seen the results almost immediately! She is also delighted that some of their recent customers who complained about their recent stay are now some of their most loyal - all because they made sure their complaint was dealt with professionally and empathetcally.
