Bottom of Form SUMMARY: Mobile marketing might be new, but it doesn't have to break the bank. But it can target this growing audience and its shrinking screens on a tight budget with tactics.

Email marketers at Marriott Vacations Worldwide tested an extremely simple landing page for iPhone users for its Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brand. Conversion rates jumped from 5% to 7%. In this case study, they share more results metrics, images of the campaign, mobile industry stats, and more. | |

CHALLENGE:
An example can be a best output of tactics- Alex Corzo managed much of his life through a Smartphone, and had a feeling he wasn't alone in doing so. As the manager of digital strategy and services at Marriott Vacations Worldwide, he thought the company's customers might also be mobile enthusiasts.

"I just shot up the idea to our analytics team and said I would really love to see what part of our website traffic is comprised of mobile devices," he says.

Corzo's team checked the site analytics for one of its popular brands, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, which offers luxury vacation resort memberships. Sure enough, Corzo was right. About 2.95% of traffic came from a Smartphone or tablet computer.

Curious, the team used a Smartphone to visit its email landing pages and see how they looked. They weren't pretty. The pages were difficult to navigate and likely costing conversions. The team needed to act before these pages pushed mobile visitors away from the company and toward competitors.

    Groupon Marketing Plan

    Groupon, Incorporated (Groupon) is a national e-commerce marketplace that connects local merchants to local consumers by offering goods and/or services at a discount. Each day Groupon e-mails its subscribers discounted offers for goods and services that are targeted by demographics and/or filtered by personal preference. National merchants also have used the company’s marketplace as an alternative to traditional marketing and brand advertising. Currently, Groupon does most of its marketing and advertising on the internet and on the following cellular phones: Android, Blackberry, and the iPhone. After conducting research, it appears Groupon has a niche market, which consists of individuals who have expensive phones and/or are computer savvy. Because a large amount of people use different coupons and may not be computer savvy, my team is putting together a marketing plan that will allow for Groupon to increase its marketability with an older generation and enhance the marketing plan they currently utilize to attract these customers.…

    Executive Summary Expedia vs Priceline

    Many customers of both Expedia and Priceline already had a combined travel agency that would normally have taken care of their travel plans. When the Internet boom exploded, companies such as Microsoft jumped on the idea of having a travel agency online. The Wall Street Journal Online Edition confirms this need for technology by reporting on the company’s participation in J.P. Morgan’s annual telecom conference. The Wall Street Journal agrees, “Expedia, Inc. is the largest online travel company in the world, with an extensive brand portfolio that includes some of the world's leading online travel brands ("Expedia, inc. to," 2013).” This would enable a new customer base that would promote Internet sales, and an easier way of life for frequent travelers. Selling points for both of these companies is extremely important, as the transition from a brick and mortar company to a web based company was a hard shift.…

    Environmental Factors of Marketing

    Technology has created a major impact on the way in which all organizations market their products and services. With the development of the internet, companies are now able to economically market themselves on a global level. Even smaller companies that were once not able to capture international business due to the cost factor can now do just that. The Washington Plaza Hotel is no exception.

    Marriott: Getting Down to Business with the Business Travelers

    Benefit Segmentation – Marriott has broken up the chain of hotels into at least a dozen segments that benefit certain types of individuals’ specific needs. By segmenting customers into categories based on their needs, the business person, the family on a tight budget and the traveler just wanting to relax after an extended trip across the country all benefit. Segment marketing offers several benefits over mass marketing by enabling Marriot to hone in on product or services more effectively, while using less money on advertising as well as profitably. An example of Marriott’s segmenting would be the Courtyard. By spending more time on reconfiguring the room by adding additional plugs and a bigger desk, business persons are able to keep working within their room without distractions. (Gunther, 2009)…
