Earn More From Every Click: Upselling and Comparisons Made Easy
As a travel media affiliate, monetizing content without overwhelming your readers is a delicate balancing act. You want to provide valuable recommendations while maximizing your commissions effortlessly.
Tiqets' new Product Groups feature, including Upsell Groups & Comparison Groups, are designed specifically to help you achieve this. This feature automatically promotes premium products and smarter product comparisons that help increase your earnings without any additional effort on your end.
What are Product Groups?
Tiqets' new Product Groups feature helps increase revenue and enhance user experience by providing more options on one page. It come in two forms:
- Upsell Groups: Automatically suggest higher-value offerings, such as a premium tour, during checkout when a user clicks on a standard ticket link. This helps maximize revenue while improving the customer’s experience of their trip.
- Example 1: London Eye Standard Ticket → Upsell to Fast Track Ticket → Upsell to Fast Track Ticket + Champagne
- Example 2: Vatican Entry Ticket → Upsell to Hosted Entry → Fast Track + Sightseeing Bus Tour
- Comparison Groups: This feature allows users to compare similar products side-by-side, such as different tours for the same attraction, thus helping them make a better choice, faster.
- Example: For the Uffizi Gallery, your readers can compare:
- Uffizi Gallery 2-hour Guided Tour (longer duration but bigger group)
- Uffizi Gallery Small-Group Guided Tour (smaller group but shorter duration)
- Uffizi Gallery: Skip the Line Ticket + VIP Guided Tour (longer duration and semi-private group)
Why you should start using Product Groups
Use case: how a blogger earns more
Imagine you are a travel blogger writing about the top attractions in London and you link to a standard entry ticket for the London Eye. Thanks to Upsell Groups, when your reader clicks the link, the booking page automatically suggests higher-value offerings. For instance, alongside the standard option, they will see choices like the "London Eye: Fast Track Ticket" or the premium "Fast Track Ticket + Champagne." The customer benefits from an enhanced experience, and you earn a higher commission, all without needing to manually configure or promote additional products. It’s hands-free upselling that ensures you earn more per booking.
Now, imagine you are writing about visiting Rome. Your readers are often confused about which Colosseum tour is right for them. By linking to a Comparison Group, you solve this problem. Readers are sent to a single page where they can evaluate similar experiences side-by-side. For example, they can compare a "Colosseum Arena Floor & Roman Forum + Small Group Guided Tour" against a shorter "Colosseum Arena Floor + Express Guided Tour." This single, structured view helps users make a decision quicker, leading to higher conversion rates for you.
