Reading Time: 1 minute 33 seconds

by | 3 May 2022

Getting potential guests to your website is only half the battle. Getting them to book once they’re there is another challenge in itself.

This week’s Insider Pro Meetup — Making Sure Your Website Delivers Direct Bookings: Conversion — will focus on key strategies, tips and techniques to improve the conversion rate on your website.  

The open discussion, led by Vitaliy Levit, founder and CEO of Gondola, and Tom Kratsch, president and CEO of Activities & Tours Marketing, will cover booking flow, website and page design, tracking and measurement, and more.

The meetup is included in Arival 360 Online. Attendees to Arival 360 San Diego and those who registered for Online are able to attend.

”Our experts and your peers are so accessible in this format,” Jane Tougouma, head of community at Arival said. “I’ve heard it time and time again — how great it was to be able to ask the advice of someone who’s the CEO of a major worldwide company.

“Everyone is super approachable and they’re willing to take the time and energy to share their expertise.”

The discussion will enable operators to ask questions about the performance of their website and how to improve sales through it. Rather than focus on getting people onto a site, it will cover what to do once they are on the site.

Attendees, and everyone else, are encouraged to watch the Arival Direct Booking Masterclass, which covers the subject in detail. Insider Pros have free access to the content.
