Dive into these UKI travel trends and learn how to use data to activate a direct booking marketing strategy
Sojern and Google share how to achieve direct booking success into 2023, with an emphasis on using cookie-proof channels such as SEM and metasearch.
Finding and engaging the most profitable guests requires getting to know them–their preferences, habits, and how these might change based on trip type. This attention to detail enables the personalization that earns the attention and loyalty of high-spending travelers today.
The best marketers use the online and offline data they have about their guests (“first-party data”) to attract new guests and grow loyalty. First-party data gives you an inside look at how your guests behave online to help you target and engage your audiences on an individual level.
As first-party data becomes critical to the hotelier’s toolkit, Benchmark Research Partners and Sojern surveyed hoteliers around the world to discover how they are using first-party data and the results they are seeing.
