Website Rebuild

Mobile-first Lead Generation

From the beginning, we knew we had to rethink the website. With a young audience, short attention spans and 95% of traffic on mobile, the website needed to be simple, engaging and attention-grabbing. We structured the website to convert cold traffic into leads for the sales team, build brand trust and cover off major buying reservations.

Website Rebuild

UI/UX Design Direction

To capture our youthful audiences attention we knew we had to bring the dream the life, by using carefully curated images combined with witty messaging to engage our audience instantly. The use of bold typography and contrasting colors of yellow and blue brought lively tone of voice to the website.

Maximise Profitability

Storytelling vs. hard call-to-action?

To maximise the profitability of our campaign we need to trade off two ideas:

  1. Strong call-to-action (CTA) ads work to convert people with a high likelihood to buy, but strong CTA ads can also scare away people with low brand awareness.
  2. Awareness ads are need to educate people with low brand awareness otherwise they wont convert, but awareness ads can be wasted money on those who already know our product.

If you lead your campaign with a really strong call-to-action you risk alienating a huge part of your of your audience who might otherwise become buyers. People see your ad, click through without any context of your product, are confused by what they find, and no amount of follow up ads can convince them to return to the site. In saying that, for people who are already roughly know what you sell, a strong CTA ads can be your best source of cheap, profitable traffic. For cold audiences (people unaware of our brand) hype, product information warm people up so they’re more likely to click on our conversion ads and not bounce off our website.

It was also often cheaper to get someone to view 5 different ads (educating them on our major benefits) than get 1 click and hope people educate themselves on our website.

The Answer

Behaviour-based ads funnels

We planned out a logical order of 50+ ads ranging from introductory summary videos, showcasing trip activities, through to heavy call-to-action ads that assume full product knowledge. We then set up comprehensive tracking across our campaigns and the Spring Break website to build a personalised ad journey.

The more time an individual spent watching our ads, browsing our website or commenting/sharing, the more we could assume product knowledge and then more aggressively ask for a purchase.

Personalised ads (example):

  1. You see 2 summary ads.
  2. You click to the website but only spend 5 seconds.
  3. You then see 3 more ads each covering a different trip themes – people, party, activities.
  4. Because you watched those ads through and tagged a friend a Spring Break photo album…
  5. You then see 1 ad that explains the different trip packages, you click through and spend 3 minutes comparing options, fill out a form for Early-bird pricing, then get distracted.
  6. You see 3 more hard call-to-action ads that use payment plans, early bird discounts and sellout scarcity – you do nothing.
  7. Finally you see a testimonial ad inviting you to complete your purchase.
  8. You buy – welcome to Spring Break Fiji.

  9. 12 ad touch-points, 3 website visits, 1 purchase.
