Blizzard Internet Marketing, Inc. has
announced a custom website analytics solution for users
of the Visual One online reservation system. With
Blizzard Tracker ROI Edition, Visual One users can now
evaluate the effectiveness of their online marketing
campaigns by seeing the source of their internet
bookings. Tracking begins on the hotel’s own web site
and continues on the booking engine.
Available reports include:
·
Conversion reports providing
“look-to-book” ratios and revenue results for paid
internet advertising, including pay-per-click, ad
banners, e-mail campaigns, and other paid referrers, as
well as free search engine traffic. Drill-down reports
provide an analysis of all search terms used by visitors
to the web site. Thus marketers can learn the actual
return on each search term in their pay-per-click
campaigns.
·
Sales Detail report showing individual
transactions, including referring campaign, search term,
visit path in the web site, reservation number, and
dollar amount of the reservation.
·
Scenario Analysis, which can be used to
define specific paths through the web site to
conversion, and determine the abandonment rate for each
step along the path.

SQL-based software to the hospitality industry including
Property Management, Sales & Catering, Restaurant
