The leadership team at your attraction is keen on going digital. Maps, tickets, content, the works. You may have even seen other attractions launch some form of digital capability.
While you agree the concept of enhancing guest experience is a great goal, how do you get there? You could work with your IT team and ask them to build an app for the attraction. You could hire a digital marketing agency who has expertise with apps. Or you could go with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider that specializes in branded, turnkey digital experience software purpose built for attractions.
How to choose?
There are advantages to each approach, and the answer depends on what is most important for you as an attraction operator.
The IT teams at most attractions in our experience do not have the bandwidth, expertise, or skill sets to create a fully functional, responsive, and dynamic app that can meet your requirements. The developers, QA testers, project managers, and product managers in your company are dedicated, loyal, and work really hard. Creating industrial strength, robust, feature-rich apps is a challenge that may not be able to be funded given other competing priorities, let alone the capabilities of your in-house talent.
Going with your digital marketing agency may seem like a viable strategy. They know you and they have performed well creating digital and social campaigns. That said, do they have the available product development team that can dive in and get you up and running in an acceptable timeframe? And can they deliver the product you need at an affordable cost, with no delivery delays?
A third option is to move forward with a SaaS provider who brings demonstrated success, a wealth of experience, and a long list of clients. The benefits include getting to market in weeks not months or years; a much more affordable investment with no sacrifice to functionality or features; full control of your branding and user experience; plus the ability to customize content for your attraction that will delight your guests, improve engagement, and increase your revenues. Maintaining the software and testing before go live dates is handled for you.
It’s easy, flexible, and dynamic.
