Cairns Colonial Club Resort's Journey to Boost Direct Bookings (+30%) and Visibility

发布于 2024年7月22日

Cairns Colonial Club Resort, set in 11 acres of rainforest gardens, boasts 345 modern rooms, three lagoon-style pools, a man-made beach, a Conference & Functions Centre, and the Thirsty Flamingo Poolside Bar & Dining. It’s an ideal tropical getaway with easy access to major attractions like the reef and rainforest.

Challenges

Cairns Colonial Club Resort is striving to reduce reliance on OTAs, improve profitability, and strengthen brand control. In addition to challenges with brand awareness and online visibility, consolidating marketing reports remained difficult, hindering agile strategy adjustments.

D-EDGE Solutions

In a proactive move, Cairns Colonial Club adopted D-EDGE’s Central Reservation System (CRS) suite along with its Digital Media platform, MediaGenius, to tackle these challenges. These tools streamline distribution across GDS, OTA, and direct channels while enhancing hotel visibility in key markets. They also effectively optimise distribution costs and provide consolidated marketing campaign reports, facilitating dynamic shifts in marketing strategy.

D-EDGE MediaGenius is a game-changer for our digital marketing efforts. By seamlessly connecting us to Search, Metasearch, and Display channels, it amplifies our hotel’s visibility in key feeder markets while controlling distribution costs. The intuitive self-service platform provides comprehensive insights into campaign performance, empowering us to fine-tune our strategies effortlessly.
