Engagement Capability
Active engagement is the foundation of a thriving marketplace. To attract, convert, and retain customers, it’s essential to connect with both consumers and agents at the right moments, through the right channels, and always under your brand. Our Engagement Capability empowers you to do just that—combining automated communications, agent-driven interactions, and seamless integration options to keep your marketplace vibrant and responsive.
We offer three flexible engagement models to suit your business needs:
-
We do it: We manage outbound communications with consumers on your behalf, ensuring timely, branded engagement that drives bookings.
-
Your agents do it: Your agents connect directly with consumers using our Agent Portal, leveraging powerful tools and recommendations.
-
You do it: You take the lead, embedding our widgets and experiences into your own digital channels for direct consumer engagement.
Together, these models ensure your marketplace is always active, connecting consumers, agents, and brands at every stage of the journey.
