Pay Per Click

It is no secret that travel related keywords on pay per click are amongst the most expensive on search engines. There is also no argument over the fact that pay per click generates visitors to your website. The problem for most travel companies is that pay per click is not managed efficiently. Often, vast amounts of money are spent on key words that may result in traffic, but that fail to generate the best return per pound spent.

Our travel platform allows you to report on which search terms actually generate sales in addition to click cost to gross profit ratios for every search term. You can use this information to focus your PPC strategy on the search terms that offer the best return per pound spent. That will translate into additional revenue and reduced costs.

Marketing Statistics

Identifying the return per pound spent on marketing allows travel service providers to determine which campaigns are successful and which ones are not. Our platform allows you to:

• Track client activity from the moment they first land on your website.
• Determine which marketing activity resulted in an individual coming to your website
• Identify what products users looked at online and which products resulted in them proceeding further.

Our data allows you to identify marketing conversion rates for:

• Campaign to website
• Campaign to phone call
• Campaign to sale
• Lead time from first contact to sale by marketing campaign
• Profit per pound spent by marketing campaign

This data helps travel service providers more effectively select the most profitable marketing platforms, determine best timing for campaigns and identify which products to promote during different seasons.

Sales Consultant Statistics

Every sales consultant will have their strengths and weakness. Our software allows you to:

• determine which marketing campaigns, products and types of customer convert into sales,
• identify which sales consultants do best with which type of lead.
• deliver training to enhance gaps in ability or knowledge
• route specific enquiries to the sales consultant most likely to convert an enquiry into a sale.

Our travel platform will report on:

• consultant sales by date, destination, specific product and much more.
• consultant efficiency statistics, conversion statistics by consultant and consultant error reports.
• Performance by team and division
• Gaps in productivity, performance and efficiency between departments

Product Statistics

Investing in promoting the products that do well not only helps travel service providers increase sales for that particular product, but it also allows them to learn about why some products do better than others. This information can often be used to improve sales of products that don’t do so well. Our travel platforms allows you to report on product sales by destination, season, sales consultant, marketing initiative, type of customer, customer location, and any other field of data that is held within the system.
