Please ask questions. No such thing as a stupid question.
We work with brands on digital growth strategies
That work increasing uses data and personalisation for acquisition and retention
What is personalisation and why should I care?

Really! We’re all here to talk about personalisation!
Now the real reason is it can improve our all important sales figures
Ski Case Study
The stats speak for themselves – and so do the awards
improve product
improve marketing
improve customer experience
create raving fans
What I hope you all lean from today is how important it is and how it needs to be central to your business strategy
But personalise what?
Analytics are the key
Before you put lots of effort in you need to know where to put the effort
Typically our clients are very similar to Skiweekends and initial acquisition is not the problem.
Its getting them through the funnel.
Data is the key to everything
This is the Big Data hall at CeBit last year
Customer Data
Website Analytics
Commerce Data - CRM / Res System
Social Data
Segmentation not personalisation
Too many people to be personal
We need put people in to buckets
Profiles not personas
The Challenge
Inter-connectivity
Data Protection
Cost / Investment - average percentage?
Data builds over time
Explicit – their email, the device
Implicit – what they looked at, what campaign they triggered, search facets, number of visits, their social interests – the list goes on
What can we learn from the real world?
I grew up in a village corner shop and we used to collect data to improve customer experience all the time. Yes really! Back then we used to call it remembering previous customers, what they like or what they did yesterday and then treating them accordingly. Or personalisation and conversion optimisation if you like.

So we have a lot to learn from traditional retail. Buying something from a shop didn't used to be called a customer experience but it's certainly something that retail has been working on and refining for centuries.
What is marketing?
Marketing is the process of getting someone to pay more for your product (not less)
So we’re trying to ‘sell’ not give it away
Do it right and you create a level of ‘desire’ where customer will pay a premium
Know your customer
Whats the right price to park at an airport?
Depends who you are…

So even where the ‘product’ is the ‘same’
There is something for everyone

So we all need to focus on what we are good at and on the right people
Its all about the experience
Not the holiday experience
The transactional experience
The whole experience
So many distractions (or opportunities)
The whole journey
Travel is a brilliant sector for digital marketing.
Its something that people kind of like to take their time over and this gives you so many opportunities to sell and add value

Too much focus on the initial ‘pull’ or awareness
SkiWeekends Stats
1% = 100%
2 main issues
Too many people falling out of the funnel
Never enough ‘selling’ to convert more interest in to ‘desire’
To often once we’ve got their money we stop selling.
Use all the channels
We all use SEO and Paid Search for creating initial brand awareness and then perhaps use email to send them offers.
How could you be using Social Media to drive awareness?
If you are not creating your own content to send out interested customers that aren’t creating desire then all you are doing is trying to sell with price.
Are you looking at how people are opening emails and following up accordingly.
Are you remarketing to people based on their on-site activity
How could you be using direct mail to make customers feel good about you after they’ve just spent x thousand with you.
More than a ticket
Customer communications are part of the holiday

We are selling experiences. Not products in boxes

But too often travel brands simple send what is basically an order confirmation and then maybe tickets the week before and then a survey afterwards.
This is just ‘hygiene’ really.

Lots of opportunity to add value and cross sell after ‘the sale’
Social Media Strategy
The missed opportunity
Its not about a broadcast channel

As a channel – This is where lots of journeys begin, using social as a channel to inspire, inform and delight the audience at whatever stage they are at: thinking about a holiday, on holiday, post holiday.

Over 50% of travel conversations are during or just after the holiday
37% are motivated to make a travel purchase based on a customer review

So travel brands need to be doing more later in the customer journey

As a forum - Get involved - get closer to your customers
Create raving fans and build your brand
Ultimately this is what we want, this is how we grow sustainable businesses. By having raving fans or evangelists we stop having to pay a premium to market
