Frequently Asked Questions
How much revenue can hotel TV advertising generate?
- Revenue varies by property size, occupancy, and advertising strategy. Properties using COTT.TV advertising features report an average of €3–8 per room per month in additional revenue. This comes from a combination of hotel service upselling (spa, restaurant, room service), local business partnerships, and premium content promotions. A 100-room property at 70% occupancy can realistically generate €3,600–9,600 per year in incremental revenue.
Can I promote my own hotel services (spa, restaurant, etc.)?
- Yes — and this is where most hotels see the highest ROI. COTT.TV lets you create welcome screen promotions, channel banner ads, and full-screen offers for your spa, restaurant, room service, minibar specials, late checkout, and any other on-property service. You upload your own creative assets and schedule them via the admin panel. No design skills needed — templates are provided.
Can local businesses advertise on our hotel TVs?
- Yes. Hotels can sell advertising space to local restaurants, tour operators, car rental companies, attractions, and other businesses. You set the pricing and schedule. COTT.TV provides the ad management tools — you keep 100% of the advertising revenue from local partnerships. Some hotel groups operate this as a dedicated revenue stream managed by their marketing team.
How are ads targeted to different guest segments?
- COTT.TV supports targeting by room type (standard, suite, family), guest language (auto-detected from PMS), time of day (breakfast promotions in morning, spa in afternoon, restaurant in evening), day of week, and length of stay. PMS integration enables additional targeting by loyalty tier, nationality, and guest preferences. All targeting is GDPR compliant.
Do ads interrupt the guest viewing experience?
- No. COTT.TV advertising is designed to be non-intrusive. Welcome screen promotions appear when the TV is first turned on. Channel banners are subtle overlays that can be dismissed. Full-screen promotions only appear during channel changes or idle states. Guests are never interrupted mid-programme. The hotel controls exactly when, where, and how often promotions appear.
