Katie – now that you know who you’re targeting, use audience generation and onsite tools and remarketing strategies to drive them to the booking page
Katie – Based on our data of 10,000 Ve clients
Katie – Instead of casting a wide net with general criterion for your target audience, use 1st,2nd, 3rd party data combined with Facebook data gives you hyper-targeting to teach the most relevant potential guests. This combination allows you to spend more wisely and invest in the type of ads you are showing by only targeting the guests who will potentially book
Top of the funnel is where the large majority of media budgets for audience generation are allocated. Using audience data, you can segment and target your guests.
Once a user is onsite, the focus is to engage them along the customer journey. If they are going to bounce or abandon anytime during their user experience, you want to provide real-time engagement and incentives to move them to complete the purchase. Would a 10% promotion or free shipping tip them over to buy? These are the questions you should ask yourself.
Even after the user abandons your site, re-engage them with email remarketing and display ad retargeting. A smaller proportion of a brand’s display ad budget, on average about 10-15%, is spent on retargeting. For the retargeting component, the focus is to drive incremental sales from visitors who have already come to your website.
The single stack full funnel solution achieves the two distinct goals of digital ad campaigns – the first is driving quality traffic to your site, and the second is maximizing on that traffic to increase online conversions. Single stack and single attribution are where the industry consolidation is heading, and what the industry is looking for.

Katie – (VePrompt) With Onsite tools, you have the ability to personalize your Onsite content with relevant, individual information. If someone exits before completing their reservation, offer them an incentive to finalize their trip. For You can segment communications by length of stay, check-in date, activity ideas for the duration of their stay
Katie - Email remarketing
Additional resource without the extra personnel required
Functions as a reminder email
Don’t just communicate for the sake of contact; Offer a special deal
This strategy gives you another customer touchpoint in the buyer journey
Personalize your content
Show people what they were looking at in their cart
Offer complementary options or relevant services as add-ons
Product feeds do work for hotels, it’s an extension of your brand
Think of this tactic as an extension of your customer service / front desk function
No call center needed
Another way to engage a potential customer
Katie -
Everyone knows about retargeting
NOT oversaturating
Keep it relevant while searching, end it shortly after they leave the site
Frequency capping
