Tips for Success
-
Share your marketing goals with Blend: Be clear about your priorities—whether it’s more reservations, higher-value customers, or reducing acquisition costs—so Blend can tailor campaigns to your objectives.
-
Ensure your booking flow is consistent: Blend relies on a standard reservation flow to track results accurately. Let them know if you’ve customized your checkout or added third-party widgets.
-
Leverage the data: Use Blend's performance reports to make smarter business decisions, like adjusting seasonality pricing, investing in high-performing channels, or pausing underperforming ads.
-
Stay in touch: Keep an open line of communication with Blend and Xola. Regular check-ins help ensure your tracking stays accurate as your business or website evolves.
