Optimizing Conversion: Hybrid vs. Dynamic Airline Packaging

Boosting Conversion: Hybrid vs. Dynamic Packaging Strategies for Airlines to Achieve 20% Lead-to-Sale Success

In the ever-evolving travel industry, airlines face the challenge of enhancing customer engagement while maximizing conversion rates. At Infohybrid, we recognize the potential to disrupt traditional holiday package booking flows, and we've developed an innovative Proof of Concept (POC) called Hybrid Packages that aims to transform the way airlines present and sell their vacation offerings.

Key Takeaways:

  • Disruptive Innovation: Infohybrid's Hybrid Packages POC offers a fresh approach to holiday package booking for airlines.
  • Curated Customization: Combining expert curation with customer flexibility builds trust and enhances the booking experience.
  • Increased Conversion Potential: Airlines partnering with Infohybrid could achieve at least a 20% lead-to-sale ratio.
  • Customer Engagement: Inspiring shopping features based on user preferences can significantly enhance customer interaction and satisfaction.
  • Flexible Integration: The solution co-exists with existing booking flows, allowing airlines to conduct A/B testing and optimize performance.
  • Streamlined Experience: Simplified booking processes lead to increased customer satisfaction and reduced friction in the purchase journey.

Innovating Holiday Packages

Our Hybrid Packages solution allows airlines to offer curated customizable package options to their customers. This innovative flow empowers airlines to provide a unique blend of expert curation and customer flexibility, fostering trust and enhancing the overall booking experience.

Curated Customization Builds Trust

With the curated customizable feature, airlines can present vacation packages that are meticulously crafted by their leisure or vacations departments. Each curated package is presented with detailed descriptions and visuals, instilling confidence in customers who may be exploring new destinations. At the same time, customers have the ability to dynamically customize certain elements of their packages, striking a balance between guided choice and personal preference.

Enhancing Customer Experience

This flow is particularly beneficial for customers trying new destinations, as it allows them to rely on the expertise of the airline while minimizing the risk of selecting unsatisfactory components. Unlike traditional dynamic packaging, which resembles a shopping cart for flights, hotels, transfers, and activities, our hybrid approach locks in specific areas of the package to ensure a quality experience. This method alleviates the burden on customers who may not be familiar with their chosen location.

Co-Existence with Existing Systems

The Hybrid Packages flow can seamlessly co-exist with an airline’s existing shopping cart functionality. This dual approach allows for A/B testing, enabling airlines to gauge traction and conversions from both flows. By analyzing customer interactions, airlines can optimize their offerings based on real-time data.

Proven Success Potential

Our research indicates that the implementation of this innovative POC could yield at least a 20% lead-to-sale ratio for airlines that partner with Infohybrid. This statistic underscores the effectiveness of our approach in converting inquiries into successful bookings.

Inspiring Customer Discovery

The user experience (UX) of the hybrid flow is designed to inspire customers through effective keyword and package tag utilization. Options like "packages under USD 1000," "beach vacations," or "adventure in Asia" guide consumers in their discovery process, enhancing engagement and satisfaction.

Flexibility in Offerings

The hybrid structure supports multi-city and multi-country packages while considering the operational areas of the airline. If an airline does not operate in a certain region, it can still offer connections with partner airlines or low-cost carriers (LCCs), providing comprehensive travel options to customers.

Marketing and SEO Integration

Our solution includes built-in SEO and marketing links, facilitating easy sharing of package details. Each customer’s customization data is stored under unique user session IDs, allowing for sharable links that retain all package customizations, enhancing word-of-mouth marketing potential.

Streamlined Booking Process

Packages can be booked online in just a few clicks, generating a single voucher for the entire booking. This streamlined process improves the customer experience by simplifying the final steps of booking.

Artificial Intelligence Ready Integration

The Hybrid Packages flow is structured for easy integration with artificial intelligence-based systems, ensuring that airlines can leverage AI to further enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency.
