Personalized Cross-Selling

Turning travel bookings into complete trip experiences

Helping users plan better while driving new revenue streams.


Role: Product Manager

Led the design and implementation of cross-selling features within the booking journey, working with engineering, marketing, and data teams to personalize offers and increase adoption.


Problem

Travelers often need more than just a flight ticket, they also book hotels, activities, or airport transfers.

Cross-selling these products was a clear business opportunity, but users largely ignored the offers. Most viewed them as irrelevant ads rather than helpful suggestions, which limited both user value and revenue impact.


Solution

  • Shifted from a hard-sell to a soft-sell approach by embedding cross-sell items into a travel checklist on the homepage, making them feel like part of trip planning rather than promotions.
  • Built internal tools to segment users and match them with relevant products.
  • Automated filtering of inventories (hotels, attractions, transport) based on a user’s next destination.
  • Optimized timing and placement of cross-sell communications to maximize visibility without being intrusive.
