Solution

Together with DB Regio, we developed a digital content marketing strategy to create travel incentives which convert to ticket bookings. We implemented this both conceptually and technically on the basis of Pimcore's digital experience platform. To do so, we created a database with over 370 excursion destinations, available as structured data, as well as an editorial content area with curated access to the database. Our content-as-a-service strategy was based on a comprehensive analysis of search behavior related to leisure travel planning and the identification of relevant content. This made it possible to offer visitors interested in an excursion good reasons to travel at the optimal time, and to link this encouragement with the advantage of the railway as the ideal mode of transport. Furthermore, by mapping customer journeys, we delivered a tailored touchpoint strategy that creates awareness and visibility of Let’s Discover Bavaria across the web.

Results

With more than 370 excursion destinations, 170 article pages, and details for over 1,000 stations, the new platform has become one of the most important points of contact for online leisure travel planning in Bavaria. Users access the platform via different channels: organic search, advertising media in content networks, or through DB Regio Bayern’s social media activity. In addition to communications campaigns for specific travel occasions, DB Regio also strategically offers some of their topics as “Always on Display,” which ensures a high volume of additional visitors to the platform. The relevance of both the content and offers is reflected in the excellent user quality KPIs — Let’s Explore Bavaria has been a total success!
