Data-backed marketing services


As one of the original online travel agencies, we’ve spent nearly 30 years honing our marketing strategies. With our proprietary first-party travel data, along with the continual custom research we conduct, we can offer you rich insights that no one else has.

 

To improve engagement and maximise conversions, we analyse what travellers do before they book a trip, from inspiration and research to search trends and booking windows. This information helps you understand global travel trends to target the audience you want to reach effectively.

 

But we don’t stop there. Our travel marketing experts use all the data at their disposal to build campaigns and multiple channel activation strategies to help you connect with your desired audience.



On average, travellers consume 303 minutes of travel content in the 45 days prior to booking a trip.⁵

The average path to purchase is more than two months long, giving travel brands a significant runway to influence booking decisions.⁶


Helping travellers find you


The travel industry is fiercely competitive, which means that your brand needs to stand out.

 

Travellers instinctively turn to search engines when they start thinking about planning a trip. This is where our expert marketers can consult with you on SEO and SEM strategies to increase the visibility of your brand.

 

We can help you rise to the top of search engine results by optimising your website with an SEO strategy to make it easy for travellers to find you.

 

Helping travellers find you doesn’t end with SEO. We can also execute a targeted SEM strategy. These paid ads help to further ingrain your brand with people as they search for and contemplate travel. On top of SEO and SEM, we’ll also work with you to implement intuitive pathways from your brand site to bring people to your White Label Template site.

 

In every tactic we use to increase discoverability, we make it easy to open the door to travellers looking to book a trip.


Driving engagement and conversion


Once you’ve grabbed people’s attention, the next step is to get them to act. To drive repeat visits, we use marketing channels like programmatic display and email to retarget customers.

 

With programmatic advertising, we help create awareness with travellers and provide a sophisticated and robust way to increase your reach through third-party sites to drive people back to your travel business. Retargeting is key to programmatic advertising efforts so that you can shift your strategy to align with the different stages of a traveller’s purchasing journey.

 

With our turnkey email campaigns, we can effectively help you announce upcoming travel promotions or simply inspire your audience to take a trip. Each email can also be customised to specific promotions or audiences.

 

Think about the ‘Rule of 7’ in marketing and the value of reinforcing your brand with audiences. Implementing branded email marketing strategies and retargeting engaged travellers with emails allows you the opportunity to carry out cross-promotional efforts that further drive consideration and, ultimately, conversion on your travel site.

 

For example, if you’re a retailer you may want to launch a campaign for customers who purchase swimsuits, luggage or other travel items. As part of that retail purchasing journey, when a customer receives an email confirmation of their purchase, you can cross-sell to them with emails offering exclusive deals on travel to beach destinations. This can be a powerful tactic, because you already have an engaged consumer, and these emails can help you pull them into your White Label Template site to book travel.


Use White Label Template to expand offerings and drive value.


Unmatched inventory supply during seasonal demand


Travellers like a good deal. We’ll provide you with a seasonally relevant marketing campaign calendar that maps out the wide range of supplier-funded offers and competitive deals to help you incentivise travellers to book.

 

We can offer these deals because of the relationships we have with our supply partners. We also know how to identify what travellers want with our first-party travel data to build campaigns that pull in the inventory you need to engage and convert your customers.

 

Because of the breadth of hotels, airlines and destinations we work with, these partnerships provide you with access to an enormous inventory to effectively meet peak travel demand with the best possible deals available. Whether it’s a Summer Sale, Black Friday, Cyber Monday or seasonal packages, these highly customised campaigns can also leverage a brand’s loyalty programme to further encourage travellers to book and earn or redeem rewards.
