Travel Retail
Marketing
Travel retail is the sales channel targeting travellers in duty-free zones such as airports and cruise terminals. Both digital channels and the in-store experience come together in making the user experience more convenient and memorable during their travels. Travel retail marketing plays an important role in reaching potential customers at various stages of their travel journey.
Due to the unique nature of the travel retail sector, the marketing strategy formulated needs to cater to the behaviours and mindset of a traveller who may interact with multiple touchpoints across various devices and formats, both online and offline. It is extremely important to leverage the right channels and touchpoints to bring an engaging experience to your potential customers.
Through user journey mapping, our digital marketing team will gain a clearer understanding of our target audience as travellers. This is then used to create an integrated marketing strategy that leverages the channels with the highest efficacy for reach, awareness, and conversion, working with various partners such as duty-free retailers, trade media, and industry influencers to amplify the marketing efforts.
Our team’s services include campaign planning for product launches, building brand and product awareness, partnership marketing, influencer marketing, and media buying, to name a few.
