The problem

Bringing Radisson hotels to life

Radisson Hotels embarked on a journey to elevate their digital presence on a global scale, seeking a partner capable of ensuring brand consistency across multiple platforms and regions. The challenge was to create a unified and engaging brand experience that would resonate with diverse audiences worldwide. This transformation required more than just a digital facelift—it demanded a strategic approach that could integrate localization, personalization, and immersive experiences into every customer interaction.

At the heart of this transformation was the goal to drive sales and boost conversion rates across Radisson’s website and proposal platforms. Radisson recognized the need to go beyond traditional digital strategies by focusing on enhancing the overall customer experience. By making every interaction meaningful and visually engaging, they aimed to turn potential leads into loyal customers, thereby strengthening their global portfolio.
The solution

Seamlessly blended digital content

To meet Radisson’s ambitious goals, we deployed our global network of 3D photographers to capture high-quality, immersive visuals of over a hundred Radisson hotels around the world. These 3D tours provided potential guests with a virtual, in-depth experience of the hotel properties, allowing them to explore rooms, amenities, and surroundings as if they were physically present. This level of immersion was designed to build trust and excitement, setting Radisson apart in a competitive market.

The integration of these 3D tours into Radisson's digital booking funnel and sales processes marked a significant shift in how the brand engaged with its customers. By seamlessly blending immersive content into the user journey, Radisson could offer a more personalized and engaging booking experience. This approach not only enhanced customer satisfaction but also aligned perfectly with their goal of increasing conversion rates and driving higher engagement.
"Super proud of this team and the Innovation that we are driving to position Radisson Hotel Group as the most innovative company in the hospitality industry. We are many minds with one mindset."

The results

Proof, meet pudding

The implementation of immersive 3D tours led Radisson to conduct a series of A/B tests and focus groups, specifically targeting their business booking audience. The results were overwhelmingly positive, showing significant improvements across key performance metrics. Interactions on the website surged, enquiries from potential clients increased, and average spending per booking saw a noticeable uptick. The immersive content effectively bridged the gap between online browsing and booking decisions, demonstrating its power as a conversion tool.

The most striking outcome was the dramatic increase in conversion rates. In an industry where even a small percentage increase can result in substantial revenue gains, Radisson experienced a 12% rise in conversion, coupled with a 1.5x increase in average order value. Given that a mere 0.1% uptick in conversion equates to €500,000 in revenue for Radisson, the impact of these results on the company’s bottom line was nothing short of transformative.
