Opening its doors in 2013, OYO Hotels and Homes, a young hotel startup, today is the world’s leading chain of hotels and homes. OYO today operates in over 800 cities in 80 countries, including the U.S., Europe, U.K., India, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Japan.
Oyo sent personalized hotel recommendations and price offers to customers through SMS, emails, and especially push notifications. However, OYO faced a characteristic problem. The delivery rate of Chinese OEMs such as MI devices was abysmally low. Considering that over 17-20% of OYO users used Xiaomi devices, OYO witnessed low delivery rates. It was less than 30% for active users. As the overall adoption of Xiaomi devices grew, OYO had to find ways to increase the delivery rate for Xiaomi devices.
MoEngage stitches together all channels seamlessly and complements them with features like Dynamic Product Messaging, Advanced Analytics, Intelligent Delay Optimization, and Push Amplification™.
OYO employed MoEngage's Push Amplification™ Plus to improve its push delivery rate while personalizing messaging to send offers and discounts to users based on their app usage. With MoEngage Push Amplification, OYO was able to improve its delivery rate by 44% for Xiaomi devices and saw an increment of 25% in their overall campaign notification delivery. Using this feature, the brand was able to deliver its push notifications to users who owned a Xiaomi or any other Chinese smartphone. MoEngage’s Push Amplification offers a unique fallback mechanism to deliver notifications at a later time in case the FCM fails. This helped the brand in reaching more users and ensure users never miss an update from OYO. An overall boost in push notification delivery also supported in converting more users eventually.
Once the push notifications were getting delivered, OYO wanted to employ personalization. Using MoEngage’s Dynamic Product Messaging (DPM), the brand decided to engage active as well as dormant users using their search and booking history to offer the right message at the right time. Eventually, the brand improved the engagement at the userlevel by offering communication that included hotel attributes and user behavior within the app.
To make customer engagement more dynamic, the OYO Rooms team utilized MoEngage’s dynamic messaging feature that customized communication based on customer actions and behavior. They employed smart triggered push notifications to send offers and discounts to customers based on their usage of the app.
