New Offering Empowers Hotels and Resorts to Increase Conversions and Direct Revenue by Personalizing Travel Shoppers’ Website Experiences

Jacksonville, FL (May 6, 2014) – By recognizing the industry need for more sophisticated hotel Internet marketing solutions and working with various hoteliers to gain greater insight, Vizergy made the investment to develop a dynamic new website optimization solution – Vizergy Content Test & Target. The platform allows hotel marketers to better serve the right content, in the right place, at the right time, to deliver higher conversions and revenue.

The foundation behind the solution is straightforward. While online travel shoppers may not understand how they receive highly optimized and personalized digital content, from imagery, to copy, to special offers – they certainly expect it. With competing websites just a click away, and consumers’ attention spans at an all-time low, hotel marketers must quickly determine and deliver optimized experiences across their digital presence for an often diverse visitor population.

“When it comes to maintaining an edge in an extremely competitive digital marketplace, the challenge for most hotel marketers today is converting more visitor traffic into new customers and building loyalty among existing ones,” says Paul Fraser, Vizergy’s Director of Product Development. “Most hotel marketers know that visitors expect relevant, personalized experiences whenever they interact with their digital assets. Some are even able to determine who their most valuable audiences are and the most effective experiences to serve them. But, they need the ability to try out new content and offers to verify that a new approach works before committing to changing their campaign. Knowing that website optimization is the best way to increase conversion, and that testing and targeting are the most proven methods in enhancing user experience; this program was built for hotel marketers that want a strong, sustainable optimization solution. Even a seemingly small lift in website conversion, from 1.7%-2% (+18%) for example, can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bottom line.”
