Pre-Trip Emails and Notifications That Sell Activities

· TourScanner Team

A few days before departure, travelers are looking for ideas. That makes pre-trip communication one of the most natural places to sell activities.

How it works

  • For each upcoming trip, fetch the top-ranked activities for the traveler's destination.
  • Build the email or push notification with the name, image, rating and price returned by the API.
  • Link to a booking page that checks live availability when the traveler lands on it.
Pre Trip Emails and Notifications That Sell Activities

Why it works

  • The message is relevant: the right city, at the right time.
  • Rankings keep the suggestions strong without manual curation.

Tip: an email is a snapshot, availability is not. Always re-check slots and prices on the page the traveler lands on, so what they see at click time is accurate.

Get started: add one pre-trip message to your existing lifecycle flow, for example a week before departure, and test it against your current messages.
