Jiva Hill Resort Grew Campaign Revenue By 31% with Cendyn’s Data-driven Digital Strategy

As Jiva Hill Resort worked to modernize its digital guest experience, closing the gap between their website’s mobile and desktop performance became a key priority. Mobile bookings needed to catch up to desktop, and a smoother, more secure mobile payment experience was essential to removing friction at the point of conversion.

At the same time, Jiva Hill Resort wanted to reduce reliance on traditional paid search while still protecting brand visibility and conversion on search – shifting toward a broader, multi-channel acquisition strategy rather than a single-channel approach. They also needed to build more consistent demand generation across the guest journey, from first touch to repeat engagement, rather than depending on any one channel to drive bookings.

SOLUTIONS

Jiva Hill Resort partnered with Cendyn to address these challenges holistically: modernizing mobile payments through the Namastay installation, transitioning from paid search to Google Performance Max for travel goals to diversify acquisition while maintaining brand presence, and layering in newsletter, on-site pop-up, Google Business Profile, and social media advertising efforts to strengthen demand generation across every stage of the funnel.

Jiva Hill Resort closed the gap between mobile and desktop performance and built a more diversified acquisition strategy, thanks to Cendyn Web and Cendyn Digital Marketing Platform (DMP). The hotel gained a consolidated view of campaign performance, backed by a dedicated Account Manager who provided ongoing guidance and helped steer the shift toward a broader, full-funnel marketing approach:

• A modernized mobile payment experience, delivered through the Namastay installation on their website — reducing friction at checkout and helping bring mobile bookings in line with desktop, ultimately reaching an even 50/50 split year-to-date.
• A move from paid search to Google Performance Max for travel goals, preserving brand presence and search conversion while opening the door to broader, multi-channel acquisition beyond search alone.
• A wider marketing footprint, spanning a newsletter, on-site pop-up, Google Business Profile activity, and social advertising — creating steadier demand generation across every stage of the guest journey.

With this foundation in place, Jiva Hill Resort now has a more balanced, resilient marketing strategy — one built to sustain direct booking growth.
