Monster Travel signs commerical deal with Trailstream
Monster Travel has become the latest online travel agent to sign a commercial agreement with rich media supplier trailstream to add video content to its website.
Monster Travel clients can now view their chosen property. Each film is typically one minute in length, professionally filmed and edited with music and voice-over, allowing a snapshot visit of the key areas of the property and surrounding amenities. There are currently 1,800 live films with more than 350 currently shot and in editing.
Monster Travel’s managing director David Hawke said: “The user experience is key, we aim to give our customers a true representation of the hotel before they book and we are reacting to the growing demand for information using trailstream video content.”
He added: “We have developed our own bespoke hotel landing page to synchronise Monster’s search and booking engine, with the video content to make the searching process rich in content and more interactive to drive up site conversions. Essentially we are taking online travel booking to the next level, this technology is at the very heart of what we as a company are trying to achieve.”
Dave Howard, managing director of Trailstream, said: “Monster Travel has joined a strong list of clients adding our content to its website and we are thrilled to be working with them. They have a fantastic website and we are delighted our content is to be included.
He added: “Our statistical analysis shows a six-fold year-on-year increase of video viewings as business owners increasingly recognise the need for rich content to give the customer an enhanced experience. Over time, customers have become increasingly savvy when it comes to websites and researching their chosen holiday. Adding content encourages marking of sites to ensure a repeat visit and helps to drive conversion.”
