Hotelscombined Affiliate Program

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Highlight these ‘selling points’ and the fact that while they are impressive, they are meaningless to a lot of clients Every accommodation site makes similar claims (Potential) Clients in Asia specifically often react by comparing us to [the most popular OTA in the respective market]
  • #6 - Present the audience with the misconception. Leading into the topic of meta search in general.
  • #8 Hotel Metasearch What is metaseatch? Examples across Industries- HotelsCombined, Insurance Comparison, Shopping Comparison, Home Loan Comparison. List Benefits for consumers List Benefits for affilliates
  • #11 Engage Audience and try to get them to list customer benefits.
  • #12 Bounce Rates: Agoda = 60%, Booking.com = 40%, Expedia = 30% (source: similarweb)
  • #13 Raise the question what some of the concerns, challenges and traps might be in the Meta Search space are.
  • #14 Briefly rattle off the different ways of monetizing your website and then focus on Affiliation
  • #15 Briefly explain how affiliate marketing works. Talk about the different types available in the tourism and travel industry, Car Hire, Tours, Travel Insurance, Lots of people are using OTA, only one product versus hotel meta search giving the opportunity to access all catalogues with only ONE integration
  • #17 Talk about Affiliate integration options PB, Co-Brand, WL, Search Box, API, Data Feed. Talk about costs Talk about integration time frame.
  • #18 Travel Blog Example http://www.backpackers.com.tw/forum/hotel.php?s=c17ffb1eee6517111b77c48e5d954eda
  • #20 - Perhaps add “funnel” visualization
