Highlighting special promotions or seasonal offers is a key strategy in attracting and retaining travelers. With this Tactic you can send offers including discounted hotel stays, holiday packages, flight deals and event-specific promotions to your customers. Seasonal offers tap into peak travel periods like summer vacations, winter holidays or festivals, creating a sense of urgency and encouraging bookings by providing value-added deals tailored to these specific times.
To effectively leverage the Travel & Hospitality Tactics, you need to implement your own data integration tailored to your unique data formats. This process involves mapping and synchronizing your data with the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement platform. To achieve optimal results, we recommend using Relational Data.
It supports the Revenue objective by contributing to the following strategies:
- Increase Average Order Value
- Drive First Purchase
- Reduce Customer Churn
- Drive Purchase Frequency
- Drive Web Traffic
- Increase Active Customer Revenue
- Increase Premium Customer Revenue

Basic workflow
- The program splits your active traveler contacts into 2 groups.

- After 7 days, a reminder is sent to those contacts who haven’t booked their trip yet.
