Mini case study - giving 'em what they want

19.08.2009 05:38:10
During some casual searching, I typed in 'mumbai calicut'. A couple of ads offered me tickets between the two cities.







I clicked on the first 3 ads. Jetlite and Yatra took me through to their home pages. Where did MakeMyTrip take me?




Which of the sites would you book at?

Makemytrip saved me the trouble of scrolling through two long lists of cities. This, I'd guess, is the sort of thing that'd sway the 'marginal' traveler (say, someone who needs a ticket for the next day. Or someone who's booking at 9pm, really wanting to get back home.)

There is, of course, a cost involved in doing this. You'll have to configure perhaps a couple of hundred landing pages with pairs of cities that you want to target. You can do this only if the increase in conversions makes it worthwhile to take the effort of customizing landing pages. And if you've enough transaction volumes to recover your costs.

This is a great example of customizing user experiences to suit visitors' needs.

Nehru Trophy Boat Races 2009, Alleppey

11.08.2009 09:19:10

As some of you may have known, Greenlemon worked with the Alleppey Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC) to market tickets for the Nehru Trophy Boat Races 2009 at Alleppey.

The online ad campaign saw a great response. We were as surprised at the volume of ticket sales as the client.

Indeed, most of our other advertising clients have also seen volumes that we didn’t quite expect, given that most of them are in industries that aren’t traditionally active online. We’ll want to post a case study on some of these soon – we’ll hopefully spare some time to be able to do that soon.

Of course, this post comes a little late, given the races got over last Saturday. But what to do, there’s so much work, there never is time. :).
