Now THAT is TARGETED Marketing – Travelocity pops my trip up on a Music Site

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Earlier this week I was researching some travel information on Travelocity for my trip to Charlotte, NC for the Eastern VRMA show at the end of this month.  I got some flight and hotel information for my budgeting plans.  I will make the actual reservation a bit closer to the travel date.

The next moring, while I was spinning on my trainer in my garage and listening to music on songza……SURPRISE!!!……up pops a Travelocity ad about going from Boise to Charlotte.

This is amazing stuff and is setting the expectations of travelers as to how they will interact with their vacation provider.

Kudos to Travelocity.
