How does the Activation core service work?
Example: A multinational hotel and resort chain enhances their website experience by offering additional photos and information when a customer hovers over a room image.

However, they know the customer often hovers over many rooms before they land the mouse cursor over the room they're interested in learning more about.

What used to take months to accomplish is completed by the hotel’s marketers in a matter of hours.
