  • New ad campaign aims at first-time users by providing 'pay at hotel' and 'Best Price Guarantee' features

    MakeMyTrip unveils new campaign to encourage hotel booking online

     

     

    MakeMyTrip has launched its new campaign with brand ambassadors Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt.

     

    Speaking at the launch, Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and CEO-India, MakeMyTrip, said: “As India’s leading online travel company, we are doubling down on growth in the deeply fragmented hotels segment by highlighting the benefits of online hotel booking to consumers. India is in a sweet spot in terms of internet growth, as more and more people are accessing internet fuelled by low data prices and smartphone user growth. Our new campaign highlights our overall business strategy to accelerate the conversion from offline to online hotel bookings.”

     

    Commenting on the new TVC, Saujanya Shrivastava, Group CMO, MakeMyTrip added: “MakeMytrip has been consistently focusing on the category expansion in the Online Hotels space by bringing down the entry barrier for travellers. Our new campaign provides yet another compelling reason to book Hotels online.  The intent is to a dispel long held belief amongst offline Hotel users that they often get the best deals through ‘offline’ negotiations and ‘jugaad’. The best price guarantee is one such powerful evidence of the myriad benefits of booking hotels online”.

     

    Talking about the campaign, Hemant Misra of Publicis Capital said: “This summer we are launching the next phase of MMT campaign – Best Price Guarantee and Pay at Hotel. Our communication journey that began in the summer of 2016 has grown into a remarkable movement. Our core strategy was focused on the interaction between the old and the new way of travelling. It is a one-to-one interaction between our protagonists which is made entertaining and engaging by Alia and Ranveer’s performance.”

    Goibibo announced the launch of its new TV campaign with brand ambassador Deepika Padukone. The campaign highlights Goibibo’s e-wallet service – GoCash Plus and the benefits of the GoCash Plus feature on Goibibo’s platform.

     

    Said Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder & CEO-India, MakeMyTrip: “GoIbibo has been at the forefront of product innovations in the online travel aggregation space and GoCash+ is a great value proposition to increase engagement and retention amongst existing and potential customers. Collaborative consumption has emerged as a concept and is fast gaining speed in the Indian e-commerce segment as well. GoCash+ has been built on this concept. Since its launch, Goibibo has seen a huge traction on its platform and we feel with Deepika’s presence as the brand ambassador of Goibibo, will further help us build a huge amount of trust and reliability amongst customers with regards to hotel research, planning & booking on our platform and thereby, further our larger business objective of expanding the category and increasing our market share in the online hotel booking segment.”

     

    Commenting on the new marketing campaign, Saujanya Shrivastava, Group Chief Marketing Officer added: “The campaign is in line with the organization’s business strategy of online hotels category expansion and new user acquisition thereby driving growth for the travel industry at large. Goibibo’s natural appeal is with a younger, tech savvy, transaction focused customer. Traveling is more spontaneous and is always on their minds. Therefore, they are always planning and saving for trips. So the smarter they travel, the more they travel. Every rupee saved means more miles traveled. Leaning in on this insight, through this campaign, our aim is to connect with our audience via a quirky, engaging narrative that encourages users to leverage their socio-sphere to land not just great savings for themselves but also for their family and friends.” The company has launched a 360-degree marketing campaign created by Publicis Capital.
