In particular, it outlines the shift in consumer power, influence and behaviour over the last few decades, the development and contemporary notions of relationship-oriented marketing and the contribution of social media in all these processes. Furthermore, the paper deals with the concept of customer relationship management, applicable online marketing techniques and the way social media can be integrated in an organisation's marketing activities in terms of customer acquisition, retention and extension. Notions of the potential of social media marketing in the hotel industry are set in context with online marketing best practice and theoretical assumptions to identify possible contradictions and knowledge gaps.
