Unique Pay-for-Performance SEM Model

After launching Search Engine Marketing (SEM) for independent hoteliers as part of our RevDirect™ service, our clients have seen incredible results, not only on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP), but also in direct bookings and revenue. Most models run SEM on a pay-per-click basis. Sojern only charges on clicks that turn into realized revenue. So, if a potential guest clicks on the ad but doesn’t book or books and later cancels, our client doesn’t pay a cent.Banyan Tree Mayakoba, part of one of the world’s leading international operators in the hospitality and spa industry, partnered with Sojern in 2016. After adding SEM to their existing display campaign with Sojern, they drove an additional 140 direct bookings. In just five months, they enjoyed $500,000 in direct booking revenue and increased search ROI from 1.5:1 to 7:1. You can read more about the results here.

Sergio Serra, Area Director The Americas at Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, says, “It’s not a coin toss—it works because it is performance-based. That’s the beauty of it! The only SEM I run now is through Sojern.”
