70% of appointments are booked online via Store Locator
"Club Med's objective was to re-increase traffic in their travel agencies, following the Covid period. To bridge the gap between two of their main sales channels - the website and the agencies - they set up a Partoo store locator with all the SEO standards needed to maximize online traffic, and integrated a module for booking appointments with Agendize. Thanks to a personalized user path, and a quick and easy implementation, Club Med customers were quickly able to benefit from this new high-end service".

This change was an opportunity to push forward the Web-to-Store strategy by integrating a button for appointment booking to the agency data sheets, enabling future vacationers to make an appointment with a "TED" (Travel Experience Designer) in the agency to build their vacation project.
Deployment took place in two stages. The Partoo Store Locator was first deployed on the Club Med site. It was only in a second phase that the online appointment online appointment booking buttons made their appearance. Initially tested in 10 branches, the system is now installed in 35: 31 in France and 4 in Belgium. The remaining branches will be equipped in the coming months.
