Are we heading for an RM-ageddon?

By trivago Business Blog on 11. May 2022 Hotel Marketing & Distribution

Most Revenue Management (RM) systems in the travel industry are based on seasonality (e.g., the third Friday in December is a “good day;” so, keep your prices up; people will travel), and the “booking curve” (e.g., 30 days before departure last year you were 70% full, but now it’s only 50%; so, watch out). The pandemic has clearly ruined the first principle for the last two years (nothing was a good day, really), so now companies naturally want to recalibrate their systems to 2019 when everything was “normal.” While search volume traffic is picking up and is back to 2019…

Third-party cookies—we love to hate them. Although they’ve enabled website visitor tracking, data collecting, and retargeting over the years, consumers have made their voices heard by demanding more consent and privacy online. Apple and Mozilla have already done away with third-party cookies on their browsers, with Google following suit in late 2023 (a postponement of one year). At that point, approximately 84% of the Internet population won’t be targeted with ads via third-party cookies anymore. However, first-party cookies are here to stay, and the rich consumer data collected from those will be worth even more than their weight in gold…
