About
ParkVia partnered with Frizbit to re-engage anonymous website visitors without relying on cookies or personal data.
By implementing multilingual web push notifications tailored to their seasonal booking cycle, they achieved a 30% higher conversion rate, a 10x ROI, and a cost per session of just £0.09.
Challenge
With growing privacy regulations and the phasing out of third-party cookies, ParkVia needed to rethink its approach to re-engaging potential customers. Their traditional retargeting campaigns were becoming less effective, especially for anonymous users.
Operating across 42 countries and 1,000+ parking providers, ParkVia also required a solution that could adapt to multiple time zones and languages, while aligning with their highly seasonal business cycle.
Solution
Campaign Configuration
Frizbit configured fully automated flows aligned with ParkVia’s customer journey from the first visit to post-booking follow-ups. Each stage was addressed with targeted messaging designed to move users closer to conversion.
Campaign types included:
-
Welcome – Introduction to the brand and key benefits
-
Category Retargeting – Based on viewed destinations or airport categories
-
City Retargeting – Focused on specific browsing behaviour by location
-
Booking Recovery – Nudging users who abandoned the checkout
-
Post-booking – Follow-ups to encourage reviews
-
Cross-sell – Promoting extras like car rentals and lounge access

Native Opt-In
Growing a high-intent subscriber base without personal data
ParkVia activated native opt-in prompts on both desktop and mobile, allowing them to build a first-party subscriber base without relying on cookies or logins. This privacy-compliant approach enabled scalable retargeting and ensured long-term marketing sustainability.

4.88% net opt-in rate

Web Push Notifications: Bulk and Triggered
ParkVia has implemented both time-based and behavioural web push notifications to keep users engaged, even after they’ve left the website. These automated campaigns helped recover sessions, increase conversions, and guide users back into the booking process at the right time.

-
4.19% click-through rate (CTR)
Time-based Web Push Notifications

The combination of these strategies allowed ParkVia to maintain continuous engagement and achieve an outstanding return on investment without relying on cookies or personal data.

Multilingual Retargeting
Speaking to users in their language, automatically
Operating across more than 40 countries, ParkVia needed a solution that could deliver relevant messages without manual segmentation. Frizbit’s multilingual web push campaigns were automatically adapted to each user’s preferred language and location, ensuring clear and contextual communication.
Campaigns were sent in:
-

This approach strengthened engagement and supported ParkVia’s international expansion without adding operational complexity.
