The challenge: Solving rate disparity to regain customer trust

Before partnering with Triptease, Frasers Hospitality faced an ongoing challenge: rate disparity. This issue not only led to revenue losses on hotel bookings through OTAs but also hindered the overall effectiveness of their digital marketing campaigns.

The rate disparity problem meant a decline in guest trust and confidence, as they questioned whether they were truly getting the best value by booking directly through the hotel's website. This was a critical obstacle that demanded a solution to protect the brand's integrity and bolster direct bookings. Seeking a solution that would improve user trust whilst also driving conversion, the need for a more advanced and effective provider became evident.

 

Switching to Triptease increased impressions, bookings and revenue

The transition to Triptease marked a turning point for Frasers Hospitality, unlocking new growth opportunities:

  1. Impressions and clicks, vital metrics in metasearch campaigns, demonstrated a remarkable turnaround.

  2. Impressions on Triptease were 60% higher than those of the previous provider subsequently followed by a staggering rise in conversion rate of 227%.

  3. This translated directly to the bottom line, with a 105% increase in bookings and a 110% surge in revenue.
