What is your cost for acquiring a booking from Facebook and how much money do you make from that booking? For your user testing - what was one part of the product that at least 3 people found confusing? Do you make account sign up painful?

So far the FB CPC hovers around $0.70. We need >200 users per flight booking. A hotel booking has not been made through our platform yet. Not much data has been collected though, seeing as we've only been live for 2 weeks.

It might be important to note that, at this point, we're not so much interested in how much we make from the actual booking as much as we're interested in the conversion rate itself. We use the Expedia & SkyScanner APIs, which was more practical from a technical perspective to get to MVP as soon as possible. But the affiliate fees for flights are close to nothing ($2 if we're lucky) and we have different solutions in mind.

We only ask for the user to sign-up once she clicks the 'save itinerary' button, which we believed would be the most seamless. The most confusing part of the product so far has been the fact that we currently have two 'book now' buttons once the user tries to book her flight, something we're addressing.

Taking a look at the product here are a couple thoughts

1) You push me onto a landing page instead of right into the product - why?

2) The initial form you ask me to fill out is a bit intimidating - perhaps it can be broken up a bit

3) On the results page - its unclear at first what I'm supposed to click on - and you dont tell me anything about the flight or the hotel you've chosen for me

4) Results page loads slowly

5) No button to book trip

6) You are choosing a 1 star crappy hotel for me...

There is a lot of product refinement you can do to improve this experience / conversion rate

I agree, you're wasting potential leads by having that landing page. Just let them see and use the service right away.

Appreciate the feedback. We've planned to push an update next week addressing most of your points (esp. #3,#5 & #6).
