#FOMO and an Impending Cookie-less Future |
The year 2021 has a lot of expectations riding on it. After a pandemic riddled 2020, filled with the fear of the unknown. The strangeness of an entire year in lockdown has ushered in a world that has forever changed. People are manifesting their dreams into reality. Partly through the fear of missing out (FOMO) and otherwise emboldened by having come out the other side of a deep void of a quarantine.
Consumer #FOMO is spreading where we work and play, from the housing market to the travel industry ( Revenge Travelers). Next in line? The marketing department with #FOMO and an Impending Cookie-less Future Marketers feel #FOMO especially considering Apple’s latest preview for the release of iOS 15 which inhibits the collection of personal information including IP addresses, email addresses and the biggest offenders i.e., invisible tracking cookies.

HotStats: The Future of Housekeeping |
Hotels struggled to remain profitable in 2020, and breaking even was considered positive. In order to stay in business, many hotels cut services where they could. One service that was lessened was daily housekeeping, which is still suspended at some hotels. Housekeeping has become an on-request deliverable, not typically offered until multiple days after checking in, according to HotStats.
Hilton was one of the first to come out with a formal stance on housekeeping, HotStats reports, but most brands followed, either stating so in the public domain or informing customers when they checked in. The measure was a strategy to limit guests and staff against exposure to COVID-19, but it, too, was deemed a money saver, limiting housekeeper hours.
