Hilton spots a whole new segment of travellers

A survey for Hilton Worldwide's global brand Hampton by Hilton has identified a new type of traveller that has been defined as the 'Seekender', which regularly takes advantage of weekends to spontaneously enjoy new experiences, with travel being at the top of the list.

The study, conducted by Wakefield Research, also revealed that Seekenders base their travel around four main types of activities/passions: food, sports, music or the great outdoors. Respondents across different generations also agreed that hitting the road for adventure and having experiences in life ranks higher than money.

"Knowing that 68% of Americans would rather embark on a bucket list trip than get a big promotion gives a new meaning to Hampton by Hilton's We Go Together campaign," said Judy Christa-Cathey, vice president of focused service brand marketing for Hampton by Hilton.

Other findings from the survey included that:

As part of Hampton by Hilton's efforts to inspire Americans to "seize the weekend", the brand is enlisting the Ultimate Seekender Team - a group of travel-savvy influencers who will celebrate the weekend and boldly explore the "global neighbourhood". Their adventures and other surprises will be captured and shared online at click here. Launched earlier in 2015 with a series of ads, the We Go Together campaign blends music and emotion to go beyond the functional benefits of the hotel experience. From jamming out to a concert with a best friend to reconnecting with loved ones on a weekend escape, We Go Together embodies the spirit of travel and Hampton by Hilton's promise to seek out the best moments alongside its guests. The brand has also partnered with Live Nation to encourage concert lovers to seek out their music passions.

While most marketers could list maybe a dozen key points for improving their brand's Customer Experience (CX), the researchers and writers at The Marketing Factbook have identified FORTY main 'CX Keys' which will help you drive your customers to new levels of delight, loyalty, advocacy and profitability.

The areas in which customers have direct contact with your organization are perhaps the most obvious places in which CX improvements can be made, and this report addresses all 24 of these 'Direct CX Keys', applicable to offline and online businesses alike.

At the same time there are many other areas that indirectly affect CX (such as the supply chain, policies and processes) in which every business can make simple but far-reaching improvements. This report guides you through the problems and solutions for all 16 of these 'Indirect CX Keys', many of which are often forgotten or under-played even in the best CX strategies.
