A Colorful Stay

How Coloring Books Enhance the Hotel Experience

In the bustling world of hospitality, where hotels vie to offer unique and memorable experiences to their guests, coloring books emerge as an unexpected yet profoundly impactful amenity. Not just for children, coloring books have seen a resurgence in popularity among adults, offering a simple, analog activity that provides relaxation and creative expression. Here's a look at how our coloring books benefit hotels and their guests.

1. Enhancing Guest Experience

The inclusion of coloring books adds a unique touch to the overall guest experience. It's a thoughtful amenity that shows the hotel's commitment to guest comfort and enjoyment. For families traveling with children, coloring books are a fantastic way to keep kids entertained and engaged. For adults, it's an invitation to rediscover the joy of coloring, to take a moment for themselves and engage in a creative activity.

2. Brand Differentiation

In a competitive market, hotels constantly seek ways to differentiate themselves. Custom coloring books, perhaps featuring the hotel's architecture, local landmarks, or themed illustrations, can serve as a distinctive brand element. These books not only enhance the guest experience but also act as a unique marketing tool. Guests are likely to remember their stay and even share their coloring creations on social media, providing organic promotion for the hotel.

3. Encouraging Social Interaction

Hotels can use coloring books to foster a sense of community among guests. Organizing coloring sessions in common areas encourages guests to interact, share stories, and connect, making their stay more enjoyable and memorable. This communal activity can be especially beneficial in boutique or luxury hotels where personal experiences and guest interaction are paramount.

4. Souvenir Potential

Coloring books can double as souvenirs, allowing guests to take a piece of their hotel experience home with them. This is particularly effective with custom coloring books that capture the essence of the hotel or its surroundings. Guests can continue to engage with the brand long after their stay, keeping the hotel top of mind for future travels.

What our customers tell us…

The inclusion of coloring books in hotels is more than a nod to nostalgia; it's a strategic move that benefits both the guest and the hotel. By offering a simple avenue for relaxation, creativity, and social interaction, hotels can enhance the guest experience, differentiate their brand, and create lasting impressions. In the world of hospitality, sometimes it's the small touches that make the biggest impact, and coloring books are a prime example of this principle in action.

Client Testimonial - Kat Davis, Compass

The team could not have been any more helpful, thorough, professional, and generous with their time. They helped to make sure every page in the book was right, legal, and exactly how I wanted it. They even offered improvements on my initial ideas that I loved! Brandon followed the project through to completion, even chatting with me several times on a Saturday morning to make sure we got it to the printer in time to allow for delivery before my drop-dead date. It was a pleasure interacting with him every time - I truly started to feel like we were old friends!

Client Spotlight on Centre College, Admissions Office

Our client, Centre College, Admissions Office, is a small, private liberal arts college in central Kentucky that has been around for 200 years. Their mission is to prepare students for lives of learning, leadership, and service- and they celebrated their bicentennial in 2019!

The folks at Centre College commissioned their Custom Coloring Books because with the shift to social distancing, the office team knew that they would need to find creative ways to bring the Centre story to prospective students. Adriana Martin says, “We knew that we would no longer be able to bring students to campus, so we wanted a fun way to bring the campus to them!”

The goal of the coloring book was to make Centre College come alive for the prospective students, while also telling the Centre story. Our team worked directly with the college to create something for students that allowed them to experience Centre from afar, that felt personal enough for them to picture themselves at Centre, and that let them start thinking about the ways in which they could “leave their mark” on the campus community.
