The travel industry has been shaken up by the digital world, this has in return completely transformed the customer journey. It is therefore essential for the professionals of the travel and the hotel industry, to capture the interest of its prospects when they are in search phase.
Predictive Marketing Activation puts individualized marketing to the benefit of travel agencies and hotel groups to generate traffic on their website, capture customers presenting purchase intention during the moment they are most upstream in their travel project in order to have these customers convert quickly.
Here are the 4 main challenges that travel professionals must face to set up an omnichannel individualized marketing strategy :
1. Improve customer knowledge
Not a day goes by without hearing the word “omnichannel”. The term has become the leitmotiv of all marketing and digital departments. But if the implementation of a real omnichannel strategy is a major issue, achieving this goal is only possible through in depth knowledge of the activity of its customers.
Through the reconciliation of online behavioral data and offline CRM data, the Predictive Marketing Activation platform makes it possible to obtain an increased knowledge of the shopping journey of its customers, and thus know journey preparation time, the number of visits on the website before making appointments in an agency etc.
By providing RFM segmentation of your database, Predictive Marketing Activation allows you to know the value of your customers and identify strategic segments within your CRM database. Identifying these segments will then help you determine which marketing activations are the most value-generating.
2. Acquisition: Generate qualified traffic websites
Many travel agency groups spend a substantial budget on acquisition, without differentiating campaigns based on the value of their future customers.
By capitalizing on customer data, Predictive Marketing Activation makes it possible to recruit duplicates of its best customers or identified priority segments, as well as to exclude known and existing customers from campaigns.
By identifying a reconciled customer on Google, Predictive Marketing Activation offers the ability to adjust bids based on the customer’s membership of a segment, and to customize the Adwords depending on when a customer expresses its needs.
3. Detect prospects with high potential
When we know that more than 80% of French people prepare their trips online, it seems essential for travel agencies, to detect and qualify customers presenting purchase intention visiting their site to optimize their transformation.
Because of its ability to analyze hot browsing data, Predictive Marketing Activation is able to evaluate a consumer’s appetency for a product via a scoring model.
