What the Client Wanted
Grand Majestic, the most exclusive yacht in the Galápagos, aimed to break free from the traditional agency-based sales model and establish itself as the direct channel for its high-end clientele. They needed a website that would reflect their luxury identity and provide easy access to essential information: deck plans, pricing, inclusions, itineraries, reviews, FAQs, and contact. The goal was clear: regain control of their brand, boost direct sales, and offer a digital experience as exclusive as the yacht itself.
Our Recommendations
To achieve this, we proposed a comprehensive digital strategy:
- Redesign the digital visual identity using the brand’s original colors and elements, restoring its coherence and sophistication.
- Create a luxury web platform with intuitive navigation, high-quality imagery, and an immersive experience from the very first click.
- Integrate cutting-edge technology: a metaverse for virtual yacht tours, a live chat and chatbot for instant support, and smart popups to capture leads.
- Shift the storytelling focus to the unique experience of exploring the Galápagos aboard the Grand Majestic, rather than just selling the yacht itself.
- Optimize the site for international SEO and streamline direct contact, minimizing friction in the booking process.
What We Did
- Visual Identity & Luxury Experience: We used Grand Majestic’s color palette and iconography to create an elegant, cohesive digital atmosphere, restoring the brand’s essence and exclusivity.
- Informative & Functional Platform: We developed detailed pages for every key aspect: deck plans, transparent pricing, itineraries, inclusions, real customer reviews, FAQs, and direct contact.
- Immersive Metaverse Technology: We implemented a 3D virtual tour (metaverse) that allows visitors to explore the yacht’s interior before booking, building trust and setting a new standard for luxury travel.
- Live Chat & Chatbot: We added a live chat system and an intelligent chatbot to answer questions 24/7, enhancing customer service and accelerating conversions.
- Smart Forms & Popups: We integrated strategic popups that store contact forms and information requests, making it easy to capture qualified leads and provide personalized follow-up.
