Vacansoleil Camping Holidays, a leading name in luxury camping vacations across Europe, is continually working to make each customer's journey uniquely tailored. To achieve this, the customer is at the heart of the entire organization. They've recently merged marketing, sales, and customer service into a single commercial unit. This approach fosters seamless collaboration, resulting in a smooth-as-butter customer journey. The engagement platform by CM.com assists Vacansoleil in efficiently providing a personalized customer experience.
No two customers are alike. While one might delight in a simple camping spot, another may lean toward a fully equipped safari tent. Some prefer booking well in advance, while others decide on a whim. Vacation companions and holiday periods also vary. Fortunately, Vacansoleil recognizes that they can offer everyone their dream vacation. Wherever and whenever customers interact with Vacansoleil, they're in for a supportive and delightful experience throughout the entire journey. This holds true for both incoming and outgoing communications. To pull this off, you either need an army of staff or you embrace automation. To assist customers more dynamically and promptly through their preferred channels, Vacansoleil teamed up with CM.com to automate two aspects: personalization and customer contact.
Remember the good old days? You'd stroll into a travel agency, describe your ideal vacation, and get personalized advice. Well, Vacansoleil aims for that same magic, but in the online realm. Thanks to AI-driven personalization, they're able to present the right offers in the right way to each customer. CM.com assists them in mapping individual needs and desires based on past interactions and behaviors. Subsequently, they automate their offerings to align with these insights, ensuring that every customer sees ideal campgrounds that match their preferences. Vacansoleil now provides a personalized experience throughout the entire journey, both on their website and through email correspondence.
"The AI personalization module has enabled us to offer customers a personalized journey that aligns with individual wishes and needs from our extensive range. With CM.com's engagement platform, we're able to craft the best individual omnichannel customer journey from both sales and service perspectives."
– Jacky Lambert, Commercial Director, Vacansoleil.
On their website, they've got an AI personalization module that tweaks the product list based on what you like. So, if you're all about nature, they'll show you campsites by a lake. If you're a young mom, get ready to see those awesome slides. And their emails? Totally personalized, featuring deals and recommendations based on what you love (past interactions, behavior, and vacation desires). With this personal touch, they're making sure your journey – from dreaming up ideas to booking and beyond – is as smooth as can be. So, you can get back to planning your next adventure!

“We carefully consider through which channels our customers like to communicate and how we can help them efficiently.”
– Eric Kluitenberg, Customer Service Manager, Vacansoleil.
Back in the day, Vacansoleil's customer service team had all sorts of tools – Excel, Outlook, phones, their own CRM – to juggle. Keeping track of conversations with customers who get in contact via different channels, and finding the right info wasn't easy. By connecting with our customer data, nowadays all important information can be found in one place in CM.com's engagement platform. Each conversation comes with customer info, like past bookings and chat history. So, every team member knows exactly who they're talking to and can give the best answers on the spot. The result? Faster replies and a more personal touch.
All customer communication, whether via email, phone, live chat, or the chatbot, arrives in one omnichannel inbox. The entire commercial team has access, eliminating the need for juggling multiple systems. This brings about:
