Executive Summary

Desktop widgets hold potential benefits for travelers and travel sellers, but only if they are executed well. The best widgets can drive revenue for travel sellers through sellers' preferred channels, as well as deepen relationships with brand-loyal customers. Travel-related widgets give users benefits like exclusive deals, engaging functionality, and convenient links to their commonly used Web sites. To convince travelers that the effort to download and use desktop widgets is worthwhile, travel sellers must provide as much value with as little annoyance as possible — or don't bother with widgets at all.
