Pattaya boutique hotel app — OTP wall
A 40-room independent hotel launched a booking app for returning guests. Media spend looked healthy; first paid nights did not. During SEA Mobile Conversion Lab, the team timed the OTP step on AIS and True: 11–16 seconds on a busy evening, with the resend button below the fold on smaller Androids.
They moved resend above the code field, allowed email fallback for guests who had already stayed once, and stopped counting “OTP requested” as a micro-conversion in weekly reports. Six weeks later, install-to-hold-deposit rose from 6.8% to 9.1% on the same spend band. The reservation: room inventory still capped weekends, so the funnel win did not magically fill August.
