Lorsque l’envie de voyager se fait sentir, les consommateurs sont impatients de se lancer dans leurs recherches et d’organiser l’escapade de leurs rêves. Tous les voyageurs avertis accordent une grande importance à leurs recherches : ils passent des semaines à guetter les meilleures offres sur les hôtels, les vols et bien plus encore. Ils sont prêts à tout pour décrocher la formule idéale, mais que diriez-vous de leur fournir toutes les informations dont ils ont besoin au moment même où l’envie de voyager les prend ? Un contenu interactif et « achetable » leur offre un passeport pour l’aventure, permettant aux internautes de parcourir votre publicité pour trouver toutes les informations dont ils ont besoin afin de transformer ce rêve éveillé en une véritable réservation. Tout expert en voyages sait que le trajet est tout aussi important que la destination : c’est pourquoi la vidéo interactive est exactement ce dont vous avez besoin pour plonger votre public dans l’esprit des vacances et l’orienter vers l’achat. 

L'envie de voyager est bien réelle, et les chiffres ne cessent d'augmenter 

Après avoir subi de longues périodes de restrictions de déplacement en raison de la pandémie, les particuliers et les familles saisissent l’occasion de rattraper le temps perdu. La Global Business Travel Association prévoit que le secteur des voyages d’affaires dépassera en 2024 les niveaux d’avant la pandémie de 2019, avec une hausse attendue des voyages « bleisure » (alliant affaires et loisirs). De plus, depuis la fin de la pandémie de COVID-19, les consommateurs privilégient les expériences plutôt que les biens matériels, et les spécialistes du marketing s’adaptent en conséquence. Malgré la hausse des frais de déplacement et les incertitudes économiques, les consommateurs américains sont en passe d’établir de nouveaux records de dépenses en matière de voyages cette année. Selon les prévisions sur le voyage numérique récemment publiées par eMarketer, les dépenses des consommateurs atteindront 300 milliards de dollars en 2023, soit une hausse de 20 % par rapport à l’année précédente ! 

Mais avant de faire ses valises, il faut se renseigner. Selon Expedia, la plupart des voyageurs passent plus de 300 minutes à consulter des contenus liés au voyage 45 jours avant de réserver. Les consommateurs n’hésitent pas à tout mettre en œuvre, comme parcourir des blogs de voyage et d’innombrables sites d’avis, pour s’assurer d’obtenir la meilleure offre avant de se lancer dans leur aventure. Cette quête d’informations est exhaustive et peut entraîner une « fatigue des vacances » avant même qu’elles ne commencent. Les consommateurs recherchent une approche personnalisée leur permettant d’obtenir rapidement et facilement les réponses dont ils ont besoin sur des sujets tels que les programmes de fidélité des hôtels, les avantages liés au voyage et les tarifs.

Le meilleur des deux mondes : découvrir et réserver des voyages grâce à la vidéo interactive

Le nombre de campagnes interactives mises en œuvre par KERV dans le secteur du voyage a augmenté de 85 % l’année dernière. Du côté des consommateurs, nous avons constaté que le taux d’interaction avait presque doublé, tandis que le taux de clics a progressé de plus de 600 %. Les annonceurs ont fait preuve de créativité dans leurs stratégies de contenu immersif en laissant leurs destinations et leurs offres parler d’elles-mêmes, grâce à des créations basées sur l’IA qui permettent aux consommateurs d’explorer et de découvrir les informations dont ils ont besoin pour prendre leur décision. Prêt à réserver ? L’IA de KERV permet également de proposer des fonctionnalités de réservation fluides, basées sur des déclencheurs personnalisés tels que votre localisation, le jour de la semaine, etc. Vous trouverez ci-dessous trois études de cas, respectivement d’un grand groupe hôtelier, d’une marque touristique nationale et d’une compagnie de croisière, illustrant cette stratégie couvrant l’ensemble du parcours client. 

 Il est intéressant de noter que, dans certains secteurs spécifiques du voyage, l’engagement des consommateurs vis-à-vis du contenu KERV est resté stable pour les compagnies aériennes et les croisières, ce qui témoigne d’un intérêt constant. Et voici une information tirée des données : l’engagement des consommateurs atteint généralement son pic en décembre, suivi de près par le mois de novembre. C’est donc le moment idéal pour saisir cette opportunité et donner envie à votre public de se lancer dans sa prochaine aventure ! 

Exemples concrets : une grande marque de croisières se lance dans une stratégie couvrant l'ensemble du funnel.

La compagnie de croisière souhaitait renforcer l'engagement d'un public plus âgé (55 ans et plus) à travers les États-Unis. En tirant parti de KERV Element pour intégrer à son contenu des vignettes interactives permettant d'effectuer des achats, Viking Cruises a créé une expérience créative à plusieurs niveaux qui a permis de présenter la marque au public, de lui offrir la possibilité de découvrir des réductions et des avantages directement dans la publicité, et enfin de lui proposer un parcours d'achat fluide mettant en avant l'acompte raisonnable de 25 $.

Une chaîne hôtelière nationale s'est associée à KERV pour renforcer sa notoriété et augmenter la fréquentation grâce à des vidéos interactives

Une grande chaîne hôtelière a conclu un partenariat stratégique avec KERV, dans le but d’améliorer sa visibilité et d’attirer davantage de visiteurs dans ses établissements grâce à des contenus vidéo interactifs. Cette approche innovante a exploité la technologie de KERV pour offrir aux clients potentiels des expériences vidéo immersives, ce qui a permis, au final, de renforcer la notoriété de la marque et d’augmenter la fréquentation des hôtels. Ce partenariat a démontré la volonté de la chaîne hôtelière de rester à la pointe des tendances du secteur et d’interagir avec son public de manière dynamique et captivante. DTéléchargez l'étude de cas complète.

Une agence de tourisme locale a eu recours au reciblage stratégique pour proposer une expérience publicitaire vidéo hautement personnalisée et sur mesure. 

Une marque touristique nationale s'est lancée dans la recherche d'une approche plus immersive pour suivre l'engagement des utilisateurs et les guider tout au long du parcours de conversion. Son défi consistait à toucher efficacement divers segments, notamment les passionnés de voyages, les amateurs de loisirs de plein air et les adeptes de jeux vidéo, répartis sur six zones de marché désignées (DMA) distinctes, chacune présentant des contraintes budgétaires et des exigences de ciblage différentes. L’objectif ultime de cette initiative était de positionner sa destination comme un pôle de divertissement attractif pour ces publics clés, en mettant en œuvre une stratégie multiforme capable de trouver un écho auprès de chaque segment tout en optimisant l’utilisation de ses ressources. Téléchargez l’étude de cas complète.

Ces publicités dynamiques ne se contentent pas d'éveiller l'envie de voyager chez les utilisateurs ; elles leur permettent également d'explorer, de planifier et de réserver leurs escapades de rêve en toute simplicité. La possibilité de cliquer, d’interagir et de s’immerger dans des expériences de voyage depuis le confort de leur écran s’est avérée révolutionnaire. De plus, les données révèlent que les consommateurs sont plus enclins à réagir à ces publicités lorsqu’ils sont prêts à passer à l’action pour concrétiser leurs projets de voyage. Alors que les chiffres continuent d’impressionner, il est clair que les publicités interactives se sont taillé une place essentielle dans le secteur du voyage, offrant un moyen captivant d’inspirer, d’informer et, au final, de transformer les rêves de voyage en réalité.
