We’re all used to personalized experiences in our personal lives as consumers.
Recent research finds that personalization is not just important to delivering elevated experiences, but getting users to use a service at all.
Seventy-one percent of consumers expect companies to provide personalized shopping experiences and 76% are disappointed when they don’t receive a personalized experience, according to McKinsey’s Next in Personalization 2021 report. Key to this evolution are expectations for an easy-to-navigate shopping experience and relevant recommendations.
Personalization, though, has been slow to reach business travel. The legacy technology stack used by travel management companies makes it difficult to maintain a consistent view of how individual travelers behave and show travelers the travel inventory they really want. This leads to travelers looking outside their approved booking tool for the best prices and options, creating leakage in a travel program.
Giving your travelers a personalized experience built on modern technology is key to making your travelers more satisfied and increasing savings for your travel program in the process.
