Ensure loyalty and retain travelers
Ensuring that customers have an unforgettable travel experience, as well as making sure you retain travelers, is a huge challenge in today’s digital environment. By implementing dynamic travel content throughout the travel life cycle, you are able to persistently assist customers on their journey – all the way from the research phase to the actual trip – and keep them coming back for more.
Reach customers throughout their journey
Being useful throughout the entire customer journey is central to increasing customer retention. This includes being present and useful even after the visitors have booked their trip. By providing valuable travel content all the way from the research phase to the actual trip, you are able to capture more consumers throughout and improve the likelihood that they subsequently return to your site.

Retention in practice
Integrating travel content post-purchase is a great way to solidify customer relationships. After all, by being present during your customers’ journeys, you are able to meet them during the peak of their travel experience and increase user engagement. This might look like leveraging content to produce high-quality newsletters to be sent out to existing customers or, like Webjet, integrating downloadable destination guides into post-booking emails.
In Webjet’s case, these guides make up 16% of all clicks to travel guides, emphasizing the powerful traction that destination content can generate, even after the point of purchase. “The increase we see in clicks thanks to the integrated guides is great and demonstrates that customers find value in this information to assist and inspire their trip.” Hayley Rathbone, Marketing Manager Webjet.
