  19. DEMAND module (cont’d 2) 1 2 Average Lead Time By mapping IP addresses together, we are able to show the average period of time that a traveler searches before making a booking and the time period that they book before completing a stay. The graph is built on 3 months of data. 3 Search to Stay Distribution Every search is for a number of days in the future (or past depending on the view). This provides the statistical distribution over time for average search-to-stay. 4 Search to Stay Trend Daily (or grouped) averages of the Search to stay data. i.e. How far out on average were travelers searching for a particular holiday or event. 6 5 7

  20. Conversion module 1 2 The Conversion Module is made up of five primary areas to evaluate search conversion activity.

  22. Opportunity index Module Opportunity Index: The Opportunity Index is a ranked list of markets sorted by Region, State, or MSAfor markets where you have the best opportunity to gain market share from your competitor (as selected in your default compare). This is created by identifying the markets where you have a high booking rate (conversion rate) but low share of search (awareness) versus your competitor. By increasing awareness and maintaining your conversion rate from these markets, you should be able to grow market share in these target markets relative to your competitor. Applications: Long tail keyword buying. Geo-Targeted Social Media buys. Low-cost long tail awareness initiatives.

  23. Source Profiles Module 1 NOTE: The Source Profile Module allows you to view location specific information by clicking into the map. Click into the map to view the source profile location data you want.

  25. Best Practices and Tips • Don’t forget to click the GO Button! • Use the Opportunity Index to define market opportunities to explore, then use the Source Profile Module to evaluate the markets at a greater level of detail. • All data populated is for the dates specified in the search parameters. Counterintuitive data results are often the result of “mini” trends in the data. • The date field corresponds to the date travelers SEARCHED for a trip, directly correlating to Demand data. • The Conversion data doesn’t populate until a traveler actually completes their stay. This creates a data lag between the search (demand) and completed (conversion) data sets for data ranges that are within the search-to-stay time window. The conversion trends are provided to be able to forecast through the data so that users can evaluate predictive data sets. • You can turn off personas that you filter to give some very specific and unique views in the Demand and Conversion Modules for Demand and Conversion, by persona, by market. • In the Demand and Conversion Modules, you can use the location view to see location-specific data for all of your competitor markets. This shows you how traveler behavior can differ between markets.
