Think about the user experience offered by netflix and Spotify. These online platforms have developed state-of-the-art technology to ensure that their content is hyper-relevant to each user’s preferences.

Typically, potential customers will visit your website multiple times before booking a stay. It is therefore important to provide a unique experience with each visit to the website to offer customers what they are looking for in a way that converts.

The first visit is generally intended for discovery, the ideal moment to capture the visitor’s attention, and retain it! During this first step, you need to effectively communicate your hotel’s unique selling points – if you have an amazing spa or a terrace with the best views in town, showcase them at this first point of contact.

And for those who come back to your site, give them a little something extra to entice them to book online. And although we’ve all seen it before, the supply countdown really works. A little sense of urgency can go a long way in moving users down the booking funnel.
