TripIt: The Traveler's Agent
內容大綱
In July 2008, the co-founders of TripIt, a free online travel organizer that aggregated travelers' bookings from many top travel Websites, had recently secured $5.1 million in new financing. While the co-founders believed that their company offered travelers a unique service, they felt growing pressure from investors to show that the company could grow revenues and achieve profitability. To be profitable, TripIt needed not only to grow its user base but also generate more traveler itineraries, which was critical to obtaining advertising revenue from travel suppliers and intermediaries. The online travel industry was a hyper-active industry and while TripIt was breaking new ground, the threat of competitors was very real.
