Making the point of travel inspiration bookable

5 April 2022

This startup is creating the Shopify for travel by leveraging influencers and content to make vacations bookable via social media. 86% of all travelers choose their next vacation on social media. The problem is no one is leveraging this influence and content for booking so travelers are spending an average of 10-20 hours of additional research on multiple websites to build the vacation that was just presented to them. We’ve created a “One Click Away” solution to get you that trip.

Current traction:

  • Ad spend sprint resulted in $300k in sales (7k in ad spend) so far with a massive amount of people in the funnel to close over the next month($150k-$400k). Lead generation is still very low for this startup at under $3. Currently they have 15k customers in the sales funnel.
  • The company is getting ready to launch a Virgin Voyages campaign and are also in the process of another campaign with Tripscout. They are the #1 travel planning app and have 20m followers across their social media accounts.  
  • Technology team working full time on automated booking.
  • Their Instagram accounts have grown to 500k followers.
