Conversion Cycle Presentation To The American Marketing Association April 20, 2006
Rhonda Gilligan Manager, Content Development Experience Design Lead Rhonda.Gilligan@disney.com
In the past 4 years, sites within the WDPRO Portfolio went from generating 7% of total segment pre-arrival sales to generating over 23% of total segment revenue.
Testing and Analytics employed to understand users in order to improve conversion included:
Market Focus Group testing Usability testing of existing sites Click Stream analysis Hitbox Analysis User Feedback Pop-under Surveys
On Property exit polls Conversion metrics Guest-facing employee input Call center logs Live Chat transcripts A/B Testing
Tonight we will look tactical examples of how this information continues to help us improve conversions for Disneyworld.com
Result of tactic: Decreased abandonment, decreased time spent on homepage, higher user satisfaction rating.
The homepage aggregates content into buckets that map to the needs of different user segments and planning stages (e.g. intenders, repeaters, info gathers, bookers or planners) As the site primarily targets firsttime intenders, a generic welcome module with content entry points to key information needs appears as the topmost element of content on the page. For return visitors, cookies move the welcome module down and present planning and booking modules in the top position.

Banner ads link to offer-specific landing pages to drive Guests directly to the information they are looking for.
11
Result of tactic: Greater time spent with content and higher registration conversion.
Natural Search and PPC ads go directly to the detail for the item searched for, bypassing the homepage and the need for Guests to try and follow navigation to the desired content.
12
Segmentation
We view segmentation as moving through five states:
1. Browsing: Anonymous 2. Experience Segment Inferred 3. Browsing: Experience Segment Identified 4. Registration 5. Browsing: Registered & Logged-in
13
Segmentation
We utilize a fluid, opt-in form of segmentation that allows Guests to self-select the information that best maps to their current intended trip.
Guests often live in multiple categories Guests move between categories for different trips Categories are based on age of children and interests of adults
14
Segmentation
Experience categories are designed to overcome Guest barriers and support key business drivers:
Guest Barriers Is there enough for me/my family to do? Is this the right time? What services exists to help me manage? Business Goals Close the sale. Drive Guests to all four Theme Parks. Increase overall length of stay. Intro text reinforces resonance of the experience for this Guest segment Relevancy blurb enhances credibility of recommendations Recommendations include a minimum of five items from each Park and five from outside the parks. Tips offer information nuggets that help solve concerns Promos can be custom targeted to the individual segment
Result of tactic: Guests who enter booking having explored segment content spend more money and book for longer lengths of stay.
15
Segmentation
Ongoing research and conversion numbers indicate a need for enhancements and optimization
New Landing Page Will: Group items by Park instead of type Include a Booking entry Offer more targeted promos Allow Guests to explore recommendations without leaving the page Give Guests the ability to add all to their favorites list Let Guests view all segment recommendations on our interactive map
16
Segmentation
In the anonymous state, Guests receive generic info about which segments specific products are appropriate for.
17
Segmentation
In the inferred state, Guests who came to the detail page from the segment landing page receive custom navigational paths to content targeting the segment. In the explicit state, Guests who have selected a segment in their reg profile receive custom navigational paths to content targeting that segment irrespective of how they come to the page.

Result of tactic: In aggregate, these custom tactics enhance relevance and move more Guests into conversion streams.

24
In the Resort Discovery Process we reinforce the benefits of staying on property at a Disney Resort and provide easy-access to recommenders and comparison tools.
25
In Ticket Discovery we default to the Park Hopper option and use the Disney Recommends messaging to reinforce this options value and benefit. We also reveal tiered pricing structure to help the Guest understand why it is of benefit to stay longer.
26
Guest feedback revealed that the ticket options were difficult to understand, so we created media that tells to benefits of each option in an engaging and accessible way. Subsequent feedback showed that many Guests were unable to view the media because they were researching at work, so our next effort will be to improve the inline ticket descriptions to further enhance our decision point marketing.

28
Under specific conditions, we will offer the Guest a Live-Chat option to save the sale:
If the guest has been idle for a defined period of time If the guest abandons or backs up in the booking pages. If a guest has been on the Offers or Booking page longer than 30 seconds. If a guest has modified their search more than 2 times in 3 minutes. If a guest has modified their package selection more than 2 times in 3 minutes If a guest has received more than 2 data errors on the same page. If a guest is viewing saved shops and has more than one listed. If a guest is shopping for a party size that will require multiple rooms and cannot be booked online.
29

This tactic, currently under development, prompts a Guest that is closing the browser or abandoning the page to log in to save offers. Registration will capture their data and match it to the saved offer. This will bring the Guest into our CRM communication stream allowing us to send specially targeted offers based on what we know they were looking for.
Guests who enter the CRM stream from data gathered while shopping, convert at 25% when recontacted.
You have saved 3 offers. Dont lose this information. Log In or Register now to save your offer information to shop and compare later.

In Conclusion
Good enough never is kept setting new goals and optimizing to achieve them Use every source of information available to you Try stuff you can always go back Dont try too many things at once or you wont know which one worked Watch what your competitors are doing Talk to and listen to your users Attach a benefit or urgency driver to every Call to Action
