Challenge
As India’s leading online travel company, Yatra.com wanted to leverage social media not just for presence, but for real business outcomes. The mandate was simple yet ambitious: build engagement, manage reputation, handle leads, and most importantly, convert conversations into conversions.
Insight
Social media isn’t about broadcasting deals; it’s about creating a brand that people want to engage with, trust, and buy from. For Yatra, this meant turning Facebook and Twitter into business engines rather than vanity platforms. The opportunity was clear - conversation, community, and commerce had to merge.
Solution
We built a 360° engagement strategy designed to humanize Yatra and monetize social media:
- Connect & Converse: Fostered two-way conversations to create a vibrant, interactive community.
- Listen & Respond: Ensured fan queries and comments were addressed within 24 hours, building trust at scale.
- Reputation Management: Monitored and resolved mentions of Yatra.com across platforms, safeguarding brand equity.
- Lead Management: Directed qualified leads from social platforms to the right departments, turning engagement into revenue.
- Drive Traffic: Promoted deals strategically, channeling users from social to Yatra.com for bookings.
- Customized Experiences: Delivered tailored interactions to make customers feel valued.
Campaign highlights included:
- Yatra Cricket Manager (2011 World Cup): Engaged over 10,000 users with gamified cricket-led content.
- Celebrate India: Connected festivals with travel destinations, driving both cultural pride and bookings.
- Learning Europe: A trivia contest promoting European tourism, attracting 547 active participants.
Results
- Rapid Response: Queries and leads were addressed within 12–24 hours, enhancing trust and satisfaction.
- Engagement at Scale: Thousands of users actively participated in campaigns, proving social was more than “likes.”
- Revenue Generation: Facebook campaigns directly contributed significant revenue, making social a bottom-line driver for Yatra.
