Millennial, Gen-X Travel Opps: Booking.com launches sweepstakes as spend increases significantly
Sales Lead: In a new experiential initiative, is providing a sweepstakes winner with a sustainable weekend getaway.
- The getaway involves cause marketing; following this one-time guest stay, Booking.com will donate the House to provide park rangers and firefighters with supplemental housing.
- The brand will likely:
- Launch additional sweepstakes and/or other experiential efforts
- Continue increasing spend
- Target demographic:
- In general: Parents in search of family vacation options
- Primary: Millennials and Gen-X via channels such as national TV
- Secondary: Gen-Z via digital channels such as paid social
- In general: Parents in search of family vacation options
Additional spending insights:
- Broadcast insights (TV ad creative spend, effectiveness, impressions, and performance)
- YTD spend: Booking.com has allocated roughly $50.8m toward national TV commercials YTD, a huge increase from the roughly $1.6k spent in all of 2021.
- Last year: The brand allocated around $1.6k toward this channel last year after having spent much more, around $16.9m, in 2020.
- Low 2021 spend makes sense considering how seldom people have traveled during the pandemic. Though Booking.com's spend was relatively higher in 2020, it did not utilize this channel that year after the lockdown started at the end of Q1.
- Thus, spend should continue increasing as the brand continues to cater to increasing travel activity.
- 2022 ad programming: Booking.com's 2022 commercials have targeted Gen-X watching shows such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Chicago Fire, NCIS, Friends, and Jesse Watters Primetime.
- Digital and social insights (digital ad spend, effectiveness, impressions, and performance)
- YTD spend: So far this year, the brand has spent approximately $20.7m on digital ads, up 27% from the approximately $16.3m spent by this point last year.
- YTD data: Booking.com has earned ~1.8b digital impressions YTD via desktop video/YouTube (43%), Facebook (23%), Instagram (18%), mobile video (13%), Twitter (1%), and desktop display (1%) ads.
- Last year: In 2021, the brand's estimated full-year spend more than doubled to $21.8m from that of $10.2m in 2020.
- Additional channel insights
- Booking.com utilizes print, OOH, and local broadcast.
- The brand holds planning conversations in Q2 and buying conversations in Q1.
Additional agency insights:
- Opportunity: , Booking.com's parent company, may need additional brand-specific support for Booking.com as the brand continues making its post-Covid comeback.
- All of the following agency partners are headquartered in NY, leading me to believe that those in the NE may have an advantage.
- Current agency roster:
- : Creative AOR
- : Media agency partner
- : PR agency partner
