OBSERVATIONS
Our analysis showed that a 10% improvement in sales could be achieved by a 5% shift in the proportion of male customers.
However; men are reluctant cruisers.
They tend to have a pre-determined mindset, seeing cruising as a long drawn out experience with claustrophobic cabins & not enough to keep them occupied.
They seek holiday excitement; experiences that immediately gratify and reward.
INSIGHT
“Men base holiday decisions on their ability to quickly enrich their lives with memorable experiences.”
