Travel Solutions

The competition for consumer travel dollars is increasingly intense and complex. Many travel marketing executives are surrounded by an increasing amount of data about industry and segment trends, yet still lack insight specifically relevant to the behavior and needs of current and potential customers.

comScore Travel Solutions provide research and analysis of specific consumer and competitive actions that affect consumer choice, and comScore analysts help in the design of strategies to exploit emerging opportunities and maximize traveler loyalty.

This capability is based on comScore's continuous, consumer-level view of industry-wide shopping and buying activity, measured through its proprietary panel of more than 2 million representative consumers. comScore captures complete transaction details across competitive suppliers and agencies — including competitive brand cross-shopping, itineraries purchased, prices paid and discounts received. And we integrate the critical dimension of consumer attitudes, intentions and perceptions behind this behavior to drive smarter marketing decisions and strategies.

comScore Travel Solutions address critical marketing needs and questions faced by all industry segments:

Competitive Performance and Consumer Loyalty Research
comScore competitive performance and consumer loyalty research provides continuous metrics and analysis across a relevant competitive set of suppliers, agencies and other intermediaries, including an evaluation of competitive conversion rates, booking values, customer engagement and cross-shopping, share of category bookings and dollars, and other usage and loyalty metrics. These analyses can be delivered on a monthly or quarterly basis, enabling travel providers to assess and respond to critical trends in a rapidly evolving competitive environment.

Visitor Non-Buyer / Lost Sales Analysis
How many travelers shop at any given site but buy elsewhere? How much are they spending, and with which competitors? The comScore Visitor Non-Buyer (VNB) analysis answers these questions, which present an ongoing challenge to every marketer. comScore's VNB analysis studies the behavior of consumers who visit a given Web site, but leave without completing a purchase or other transaction. Because comScore captures the purchasing patterns of VNBs on competitive sites, these studies also quantify the sales lost to competitors, and help identify the factors behind these losses, including competitive product offerings, promotions and merchandising.

Gain Deep Insight into Consumers' Attitudes and Intent
comScore Insights provide clients with the ability to conduct survey research studies using comScore panelists focused on a wide range of online and offline issues. For example, how will consumers respond to potential new product offerings or ad campaigns? How will service fees and award restrictions influence consumers' booking decisions? How are changing price/ value perceptions affecting your brands? Which strategies are most likely to influence offline buyers to book online? comScore addresses these issues and more, through a variety of survey techniques including consumer segmentation and profiling, new product assessment, as well as brand and advertising tracking.

By incorporating multiple research approaches, frequent traveler and other customer file data, with expert analysis, comScore helps clients identify specific business strategies that generate the greatest revenue with the highest probability of success.
