Commenting on the offer, Travelodge’s e-commerce director Charlie Herbert said:
“Over 85 per cent of Travelodge reservations are conducted via the web and with such a strong online following, it makes sense to interact with our customers via Twitter. This will enable us to instantly tell our followers of latest offers, inform them on new Travelodge openings and keep them updated on general company news. It’s an instant, efficient and modern way of interacting with our customers”.
