Ritz-Carlton vs. Shangri-La on Twitter

By Owais Hikmat

The Ritz-Carlton tweeted mostly about enhancing customer experience with their spa in Bali, their deep tissue massage at their hotel spas and promoting social movements like #Earth Hour. However, they did maintain many retweets and customer engagement. Shangri-la tweeted about their hotel lunches and experiences, as well as an Easter egg hunt, and did highlight many exotic destinations to die for. Both brands tweet multiple times a day and maintain great consumer and fan engagement. Both brands are highly implement the 50/50 rule where they are highly engaged with their target markets and well as maintain their business and social objectives. The keyword sentences that are highlighted between both brands include; “Beautiful spa, great weekend, amazing luxurious wedding cakes, dreams come true, signature dishes, diamond retreats, a mesmerizing view and capture your dining memory”. Hashtags include #FridayFeeling, #EarthHour, # Easter, #RCMemories, #DoradoBeach, #RCReserve, #Lisbon, #relaxation and #massage.
Ritz-Carlton’s most successful tweet was on how they gave their chefs an Instagram page dedicated to their #food. They obtained 21 likes, 10 re-tweets and 3 comments.








Shangri-la’s most successful tweet was about a getaway at Yancuna Island in Fiji where they obtained 12 likes and 3 retweets.

Shangri -la Yancuna Island


I believe that these two posts were very successful because it showed how the brands were building connections with their customers and fans. Who doesn’t like to look at and dream about travelling to Yancuna Island in Fjiji enjoying your stay at Shangri-La’s hotel and resorts.
