Nobis Hospitality Group, is a family-owned group of first-class hotels in Sweden. They had seen good results from Paid Search for some of their other hotel brands but had failed to drive cost effective direct bookings for the Blique by Nobis hotel. A challenge they faced was competing against the travel aggregator sites with vastly higher spends on popular search terms. BrightBid helped Blique by Nobis conversions from PPC by 45% and Return on AdSpend by 216% within 8 weeks of starting with us.
Increase website traffic
Revenue
Increased ROAS
Nobis Hospitality Group is expanding into international markets with the premium hotel Blique, situated in the heart of Stockholm. They target travellers directly looking for hotels in their locations and compete with the travel booking sites to win this traffic. They had seen good results from Paid Search driving direct bookings for their other hotel brands but had failed to drive cost effective direct bookings for the Blique hotel. Blique wanted to increase the number of bookings directly on their own website and avoid paying the travel aggregator sites higher commission levels, and this was a key strategic goal for the marketing team.
”BrightBid’s AI helped find more unique search terms that indicated high value potential customers such as ‘hotel with roof terrace in Stockholm’ in Summer or ‘long stay hotels with a gym’. This meant we were able to increase our bids targeting higher value customers and increase our ranks.”
