Viewed globally, hotel guests can be classified according to the reason for their arrival (business trip or vacation), their numbers (individual guests or groups) and their place of origin (domestic or foreign guests). To provide services of the best quality possible, the hotel staff must understand the wants and needs of guests. One of the ways to do this is to find out the manner in which guests choose hotels. It is generally known that if a guest has already stayed in a particular town, the chances are that he will choose to stay in the same hotel again, providing, of course, that he was satisfied with services rendered. If a guest has never been to a particular town before, there is a greater possibility that he will choose a well-known hotel or one that is easy to reach. A factor that in addition to advertising, personal recommendations, hotel location and prices can influence the choice of a hotel is prejudice based on the name of a hotel. Based on the assumption that a hotel’s name can represent an important marketing tool, foremost in market communication, this paper analyses the names of all categorised hotels and apartment hotels in Croatia. The surveyed names of hotels are classified according to different criteria that could, with the application of additional marketing activities, be used to gain a better position on the tourist-generating market. Also, during a guest’s stay, a hotel’s name can be used to enhance and improve its performance, providing the name is exploited in an appropriate marketing manner. This implies «creating stories» linked to a hotel’s name and using its name in the gastronomic, cultural, entertainment and other fields of hotel- and tourism-product promotion.

Every year, more and more scientists and practicing economists explore such categories as «marketing» and «management», providing material for further reflection and analysis. Currently, the interpretation of marketing as a function of management is inferior to understanding it as a holistic concept of management, the so-called business philosophy. New directions of economic development to ensure its long-term economic growth require a deeper rethinking of the role of marketing in the activities of industrial enterprises in order to increase their competitiveness and identify it as a powerful factor in modernizing individual businesses and the economy. Strategic marketing today is necessary for the company, as it facilitates its rapid adaptation in the face of intense competition and the presence of a non-price aspect of this struggle. The purpose of the study is to study and combine strategic management and marketing, forming such a category as strategic marketing. Because it is known that strategic marketing emerged at the last stage of the evolution of marketing management. The basis of strategic marketing is to achieve sustainable competitive advantages in the market. During the development of a competitive marketing strategy, the company strives for successful and long-term work in the market. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy. It all depends on various factors: the industry in which the company operates, the capital and experience of the firm, competitors in this field, the creative approach of each company to stand out among others and the innovative approach. Only by considering all these factors, the company can build its personal, unlike all others, marketing strategy. Thanks to the management carried out by means of achievements of modern management and on the basis of marketing philosophy of management and control, the modern enterprise can achieve realization of the strategic purposes and increase not only own level of competitiveness, but also economy as a whole. Thus, modern economic development makes it possible to assert that the management of the enterprise and the adoption of not only operational but also strategic management decisions are significantly influenced by the marketing activities of the enterprise. Here it is necessary to understand not the narrow influence of various elements of marketing (advertising, sales, distribution, etc.), but its complex manifestation. This is due to the fact that until today, marketing has been closely linked to management, as marketing technologies and tools are evolving and beginning to penetrate and be used in the work of all departments at all levels of enterprise management. This gives grounds to assert that through a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of marketing activities can assess the effectiveness of management decisions and the success of enterprise management, as well as to give an opinion on the prospects for further development.

The essence of sponsorship is reciprocity. Whereas sport organizations and event promoters have increasingly relied on sponsors' resources and financial support to stage their events, many companies have also been vigorously seeking sponsorship opportunities to actualize their marketing goals, such as enhancing brand equity. This research examines the impacts of sponsorship-linked marketing activities on perceived consumer-based brand equity elements (i.e., brand loyalty, perceived quality, and brand awareness/associations) of the sponsor. This was done through a case study of how sponsorship-linked marketing strategy has shaped the development of Li Ning Company Limited, a Chinese sports apparel and equipment company. Results show that the branding effectiveness of sponsorship directly depends on event quality, perceived event-brand congruency, and brand experience, but not level of sports involvement.
