Creating inspirational content with a sales core to stand out from the crowd online

With the majority of online travel agents using the same bland, static images for the same hotels, it can be a challenge to capture the customer’s attention. And with social channels requiring daily content to maintain audience engagement, accessing a bank of ready-made shareable content is priceless. EasyJet holidays asked Platform 195 to build a library of bespoke inspirational content for social media, along with a detailed series of accommodation visuals to better represent their online offerings and drive an increase in bookings.

THE FULL STORY

It is well documented that video content increases customer engagement online. In fact, 79% of customers* prefer to watch a video about a product than read about it. Between populating a website, regular posting on multiple social channels and creating paid advertising assets, travel brands need a constant flow of high quality content if they are to keep customers browsing and booking. EasyJet understands the importance of creating inspirational content with a sales core, so they asked our team to create a bank of bespoke images and video combining both hotel accommodation content and broader destination content, filmed at their top properties. Visual refresh for hotel listings Most Online Travel Agents (OTA’s) use the same hotel images from the same central libraries known as “bed banks”, making their listings feel generic. We visited 150 hotels across the easyJet network to capture bespoke accommodation images and video, empowering the EasyJet team to create engaging listings that stand out from the competition. Our scalable, cost-efficient model means we can work quickly to deliver images and video. Social-first content to drive sales messaging Alongside hotel imagery, we were asked to create social content libraries across several key destinations, ensuring that the team at EasyJet have over 2,500 assets to choose from for display campaigns and social media. This mix of imagery and video content can be used to fulfill marketing campaigns and feed into email and organic social media, making it a very cost effective way to support marketing initiatives. Tailor-made inspiring content helps to drive an increased social following, fuel engagement and drive incremental sales.
