Digital channels adapted to travelers

Before boarding a bus, digital travelers start a search to choose their destination, and compare prices, routes, and schedules, to make sure they select the best option available. According to a study conducted by Comscore, in Mexico alone, 48% of users browse travel sites, and 79% of searches are made through mobile phones.

Anticipating that online search and guaranteeing a suitable, flexible, and dynamic purchasing experience can be the difference between winning or losing a passenger.

But, how to ensure the digital presence of your bus line? In addition to having an eCommerce, it is essential to know the needs of the digital traveler to adopt a solution that is capable of solving them at the right time.

The bridge to connect with digital travelers

ETN Turistar, a Mexican luxury bus line, focused on passenger transportation, parcels, and light messaging, with more than 70 destinations distributed in 23 states of the Mexican Republic, had the challenge of promoting its online channel and connecting with digital travelers, in a more effective way.

Before implementing Reservamos SaaS solutions, ETN Turistar had an eCommerce with low conversion, only 5 out of 100 travelers made a purchase online. In addition, the acceptance of payments through bank cards was at 50%.

Part of providing the most appropriate solution was understanding the frictions in the purchase process, to improve them and ensure an optimal and effective experience for users.

Dynamic eCommerce 

The first step was to implement an A/B Test to understand the performance of the brand’s standard sales funnels against the Reservamos SaaS eCommerce solution. That made it possible to comprehend and detect user friction during the shopping experience.

While the standard channel showed a low conversion from visit to purchase and friction in the acceptance of card payments, the eCommerce designed by Reservamos SaaS showed an increase in revenue of +63%.

Based on the results, it was possible to understand the obstacles travelers faced when making an online purchase and create strategies to increase conversion.

In addition, the constant accompaniment by the Reservamos SaaS team made it possible to implement improvements in different areas. From marketing actions: how to optimize the purchase process, and send personalized messages to travelers; to the implementation of repurchase processes; and monitoring of the execution and performance of the strategy.

From this, the Reservamos SaaS eCommerce registered:

• 75% Payment acceptance with bank cards.
• 57% Improvement in the purchasing experience.
• +27% Increase in transactions and sales.

Through a digital channel that provides an easy, secure, and dynamic purchasing experience, it is possible to grow online and not just at the box office. Since its implementation, ETN Turistar eCommerce has gained more and more strength among its users.

Outlining the path to innovation is possible with experts’ help. With Reservamos SaaS technology, it is easier for you to connect with digital travelers and anticipate their needs, with an assertive, agile, competitive, and friendly service.
