We are really pleased with our current results, the technology has made a huge difference to the number of bookings we’ve received from email! We’re excited for what more we can achieve together going forward.”

The Challenge
When considering to book a holiday, consumers browse many different holiday types and destinations over a prolonged period. Sending relevant, effective emails to customers during this time is a challenge. As a small team, Blue Sea Holidays found it impossible to create enough email content to hit every holiday and destination variable and, on top, build dynamic rules to personalize content.
Being able to quickly and efficiently offer potential clients up-to-date, relevant recommendations in email based on their recent interests was a top priority for the team.
The Solution
Using a combination of behavioural data, improved segmentation and Kickdynamic’s geo-targeting capabilities, Blue Sea Holidays are able to easily send dynamic follow up emails that resonate with potential customers.
Deal content in the email is powered by an API, the same one used onsite and is combined with data relating to previous searches, in particular destinations, holiday type and dates. Each email is populated with individualised content, updated with live pricing and availability at every open. Layered on top is geo-location; the deals shown take into consideration the closest airport to email open location and show deals departing from that airport.
The results
What’s next?
“Next up we’re going to re-vamp our pre-departure program to offer insightful and entertaining content – we want to truly connect with travellers before they jet off. Providing an exceptional pre-travel email experience is a must – countdown to departure, real-time weather reports for destinations are a start. We’ll also be looking to showcase tours, excursions and other services – a great customer experience wrapped up in a fun, engaging email. Watch this space!”
