Case Study Lead Generation For Travel Industry
- Case Study Lead Generation For Travel Industry
- The travel and tourism industry forms a highly important segment of business and this industry serves global clients for several intents such as business, tourism, traveling, trade, and many more. Two years back one tourism-based travel company approached us for digital branding and marketing purposes. This company was a startup initiative in the tourism industry with their specialisation in religious, adventurous, and agro-tourism. They explored major tourism options within India through budget-friendly tour options for the middle class and other economies. When they approached us for a digital campaign they aimed to expand their company globally and avail travel and tourism options worldwide. They were interested to expand their business globally and to attend the travel needs of global travelers and tourists.
- Before planning a digital campaign for our travel sector client we worked on information gathering and research associated with our client, their current marketing efforts, customers, plans, competitors, and hurdles. This background research process helped us gather major insights on the client’s challenges and future roadmap to achieve desired goals. We noticed that our client has not developed a full-fledged website to notify their online viewers and it was the biggest drawback in their digital process. Further, they failed to target the audience based on interests, surfing patterns, and user behaviour due to the lack of skilled professionals to handle these research and marketing duties. In short, we noticed that our client’s digital presence was just poor and that was the major secret behind their failure. Finally, we concluded that despite having strong experience in digital marketing this particular case would be a tough challenge for us. We decided to overcome this challenge by creating a cost-effective digital campaign plan for our client. We focused on producing low-cost but highly effective digital plans for this client due to their budget restrictions.

- The Challenge
- After detailed research and information gathering, we observed the following challenges with our client’s online existence and survival. They lacked a competitive and fully-operational website to cater to global client’s surfing intents. Next, they lacked a great social media strategy which forms a backbone for a tourism-based business. Our client never opted for business strengthening ideas such as local SEO, business directory entries, etc. Further, they took a backseat in engaging users through blogging platforms. With these hurdles, we concluded that our client needs a comprehensive digital marketing and branding programme for boosting their web presence.
- Objectives Set For Our Digital Campaign
- After understanding our client’s digital presence conditions and strengths, we set the following objectives through our digital marketing campaign.
- Establish a positive web presence through a fully operational, SEO friendly website.
- Optimise social media presence for our client’s brand and increase user interaction and user engagement on social media channels.
- Create an engaging blogging platform for our client and use of vernacular language in its content strategy.
- Create an effective and proven digital marketing PPC campaign that will drive major traffic to the client’s website, social media pages.
- Throw light on user experience, client expertise in travel arrangements through different channels.
- Maximise positive reviews, feedback, textual, and video testimonials on different platforms such as social channels, educational portals, client’s websites, etc.
- Ensuring links in travel business listings, profiles, and other business listing channels such as Google business
- Solution Set
- With a complete understanding of our travel industry client’s market situation, digital presence, and competitor research we created an influential digital marketing and branding campaign for our Pune-based travel industry client.
- As our first attempt in this digitisation journey, we began with the client’s website creation, payment integration, and major other factors needed to assemble the best website for travel business. We created an elegant photo gallery, video-based content, virtual tours to positively impact users. Further, we enhanced the website for better search engine appearance with keyword stuffing, SEO practices, and an honest link building approach. To back this website with appropriate content we created an excellent blogging platform for our client and encouraged them to produce appealing blog content even in vernacular language.
- For the travel industry business, it is primarily important to have the best social media appearance with great user engagement, user education, and huge fan follower support. We conducted a social media management and optimization campaign for our client and with this, we worked on the Facebook and Twitter pages of our client. Further, we planned the best social media posts, blogs, and content strategy for our client.
- Next, we focused on review optimization for our travel-based client. We noticed that people prefer reading positive reviews, travel experience before finalizing their travel and tourism partners. Hence we performed a proper review management campaign and through this, we succeeded in capturing positive and honest reviews about our client’s services. For this, we approached previous customers of our client and requested them to share their travel stories on different reviewing platforms. We also involved different associates such as travel partners, tourist guides, and hotel owners for this review capturing process.
- As a core marketing attempt we created a sound PPC campaign for this travel industry client that targeted serious audience with similar travel interests, we created attractive visuals and best offers to make it a huge success. With our marketing team’s continuous efforts we could deliver the best PPC campaign for our travel industry customer.
- Next, we focused on optimising positive web presence through best local SEO efforts, link building approach, and review optimization. We also assured the entry of the client’s rich and appealing business profile and offers in various business directories. This helped us expand the client’s reach across the city. With local SEO initiatives, we endeavored to improve the website for local searches using appropriate addresses, contact details, maps, and local blogs.
- Collectively we tried to advertise the client’s best travel options, travel experiences, pocket-friendly packages through various channels. We also worked on video-based content that delivered the superior experience to prospects. We focused on getting video testimonials, video clips of travel experience for prospects’ convincing purpose.
- Further, we created a fantastic link profile of our client by getting connected with travel bloggers, travel partners, and hotel owners. We also encouraged customers to contribute to our guest blog and this approach helped us in reconnecting our customers for further business opportunities. We never applied any black hat or unethical techniques such as link buying for travel industry client’s digital branding. It was a completely safe game all the way!!
- We suggested the following valuable advice to our client.
