Project Overview
Lagom Vacation, a holiday home management company, sought to enhance its online visibility and attract potential clients. The company aimed to assist investors in converting their properties into profitable holiday homes while providing a seamless experience for existing holiday homeowners. To achieve this, a targeted PPC campaign was launched, focusing on key international markets to drive engagement, generate leads, and increase bookings.
Company Overview
Lagom Vacation manages holiday homes for investors and homeowners in the United Arab Emirates. The company takes a professional property management approach, offering homeowners a hassle-free experience and providing guests with high-quality accommodations. Its services cater to local and international property investors, helping them maximize their returns through short-term rentals.
Initial Challenges
- Limited Brand Visibility: As a new entity in the market, Lagom Vacation struggled to establish brand recognition and credibility.
- Growing Market Demand: Dubai’s increasing popularity as a tourist destination presented a significant opportunity, but competition in the holiday home sector was intense.
- Lack of Customer Insights: Understanding the target audience’s profile and preferences was challenging.
- Inefficient Lead Management: The absence of a streamlined lead qualification and conversion process led to lost opportunities.
- Reliance on Third-Party Platforms: The business depended on platforms like Airbnb for bookings and lacked a direct approach to customer acquisition.
Strategic Initiatives
To address these challenges, the following key strategies were implemented:
- Audience Research: Conducted detailed client interviews to gain insights into customer behavior, booking motivations, and expectations.
- Geo-Targeted Advertising: Focused marketing efforts on the GCC and UK regions, identified as primary sources of tourists for both business and leisure.
