About The Atlantis


#Sitecore SYM

6

Optimization Thought Starters

The Atlantis has the opportunity to deliver tailored experiences to visitors based on both implicit and explicit information. Core optimization opportunities include:

• Using analytics and conversion data

• Profiling content to understand interest

• Testing content to increase conversion

Analytics and Conversion Data

7


#Sitecore SYM

8

With the ultimate conversion of being ‘book now’ there are few micro-conversions on the site. Using analytics and conversion data, we can identify three core visitor types.

• New Visitor

• Return Visitor, No Conversion

• Converted Visitor

Defining Visitors Based on Conversion


#Sitecore SYM

Makeover Ideas: Along the Journey

For new visitors, default content will allow users to browse naturally, providing insights into their interests.

Quick win personalization could in include:

• GeoIP tailored content

• Seasonality

• Campaign consistency

Year in Dubai!

Return visitors who haven’t converted should be targeted with strong, consistent “Book Now” CTAs on content deeper in the site.

• Update templates to support additional CTAs

• Limit homepage content to focus on booking rooms


#Sitecore SYM

11


Return visitors who have converted are no longer in need of a room and should be targeted with cross-sell and up-sell content throughout their experience.

• Update homepage content to promote “things to do”

• Change “Book Now” CTAs on interior pages for additional purchasable CTAs

• Promote specific options at the top of each page

Profiling Content to Tailor for Preference/Interest

12


#Sitecore SYM

13

Personalization: Profiling for Preference

Interest/Preference:• Family Friendly• Special Event• Relaxation

Based on key pages visited, personalize for preference. For someone who explores family-friendly activities:

• Remove slider options, focus on core ”kid-friendly options”

• Personalize deals on homepage (babysitting deals, family package, etc.)

Testing Content to Increase Conversions

16


#Sitecore SYM

17

Testing Opportunities

Are users facing choice paralysis? Testing the number of CTAs and type of content presented will help optimize for conversions.


#Sitecore SYM

18

Testing Opportunities

Testing CTA language through checkout may shed light on what leads to more add-ons throughout the process.

Future Considerations

19


#Sitecore SYM

20

Future Considerations

With so many options for trips and stays, providing the user with functionality to store and sort through preferences will not only enhance the user experience

Building in itinerary or “favorite” functionality to the site will allow users to save activities – creating a logged in portion of the site where users are allowed to store their preferences.

Problem

― Why would a customer share their personal data before they have received any benefit?

Answer

― Think about a value exchange

― Conditionally display the data capture form via rules editor once customer has passed a threshold of products views / product searches

― ALSO: Opportunity to collect some additional data, esp. travel dates

Clearer value exchange for data capture2
