On Wednesday 14th November, 4 members of the Vamoos team ventured out of the Paddington office to head to Gatwick, to find out whether or not these holiday-goers would use Vamoos.
The day started slowly as we quickly realised that a lot of the people we were approaching thought we were trying to sell them something and weren’t too keen to talk (not surprising!). We changed tack and set ourselves up in a restaurant and began approaching people that way. After multiple different eating establishments, shared portions of chips, and coffees later, here’s what we found:
We spoke to 86 different people and explained who we were, and showed them a very brief demo of the app and what it could do. We then asked them one simple question:
‘Is this something you would like to use during your trip?’
The majority of these people (82%) said yes. Most of the comments were very similar, saying the app looked useful and would provide helpful content (like the maps and points of interest) while they were on holiday. A lot of these people were really impressed with the app, and a few people we spoke to had already used Vamoos before and loved it.
Of those who said they would not use the app, we wanted to make sure we understood why. The top 3 reasons that were repeated multiple times were: not having a smart phone, not wanting to be on their phone while on holiday, and going on ‘fly and flop’ holidays which means they wouldn’t have as much need for it.
We were quietly confident that we were going to get the kind of results that we did to support what we have said for years – that end users love the Vamoos app (and that was with just a 20 second demo!). We hear this from our partners on a regular basis, but it was great to speak to prospective end users and hear it directly from them.
So, we’ve done the hard work for you – we know your clients are going to love Vamoos because we have gone and spoken to them. You don’t need to take our word for it though, get going with your free 28 day trial, and start sharing Vamoos with your clients today.
Alternatively, drop us an email if you have any questions or would like to request a Vamoos demo.
Dare we say it… the reign of PDFs is almost over! In a world where travellers can find everything they need, from interactive visual itineraries to key travel documents, all within a single platform, it’s difficult to resist the appeal of a travel app. But the hard part isn’t deciding to embrace travel tech, it’s choosing which app solution is right for you.
For tour operators and travel agencies, the ability to communicate directly with travellers, share important travel documents and keep clients informed about itinerary changes is crucial – especially if you want to deliver an excellent overall experience. Here’s the bad news: emails are getting in the way. They’re outdated, time-consuming and easy for your clients to miss. Don’t worry though; we’re sharing 3 ways in which emails are letting you down, and showing you why an all-in-one travel app could be the solution to your problems.
In our first villa travel blog, we looked at why villa travel companies need to ditch paper and emails to offer a more holistic, modern experience that matches client expectations. This time, we’re showing you how to go one step further by using travel tech to integrate trip-defining detail into that experience seamlessly.
