Eighteen journeys across the full booking curve

From first-minute discount to last-minute liquidation, each journey is built around a real tour-operator revenue lever. Seven of them already run in production and carry published numbers. The other eleven are where the next revenue is.

217%

Better than average ad performance relative to budget spend

20%

Higher average order value on personalized ancillary outreach

3 to 7.2x

Conversion and CTR lift on exit-intent recovery, against an average email campaign

All three figures are from Meiro’s published DER Touristik case study. The brand shown inside the playbook screenshots is fictional, used to illustrate what a traveler receives.

The starting problem

Traveler identity is nothing like an ordinary e-shop purchase

One person buys; several passengers travel. Next season one of them books alone, for a different group. The booking can close in four different channels, and at DerTour four brands each ran on separate systems with no resolved view of a traveler across them. Every journey in this playbook starts from that problem.

What is in it

All eighteen journeys, ordered by business impact

Seven already run in production and carry published numbers. Eleven are proposed, and marked as such, so you can tell a measured result from a plan. Each one in the deck names the trigger it needs, what gets personalized, and the thing most likely to go wrong.

Inside the deck

What the PDF shows that this page cannot

The page above names all eighteen. The deck draws each one as it is actually built, and shows the message the traveler receives at the end of it: the email, the SMS, the push, the banner, for every journey.

  • The web banner and email a traveler receives after abandoning a search

    Bring them back to the trip they were pricing

  • The pre-departure emails offering a bag, insurance and a transfer

    Sell the transfer before they land

  • The email and push a recognized high-value traveler receives

    Recognize your best travelers

  • The check-in reminder email and push, tied to a live flight

    Open check-in before they think to ask

Getting value

A phased path to impact

Not everything goes live at once. The deck sequences all eighteen into four phases by setup dependency, so revenue moves in the first weeks while the data foundation for the smarter journeys is built in parallel. Quick wins in week one, the intelligence layer by week four, and the transactional journeys on their own parallel track.
