Travel Agency Website Advertising: Finally Simple, Good and Cheap.
December 5, 2007
December 6, 2007 - N. Padre Island, Texas – GemTravelSites.com announced the expansion of their network advertising program allowing travel agencies and suppliers to display text ads, graphical banner ads and rich media on customer-centric travel websites and blogs. Starting at $25 per month, the program offers a simplified version of traditional website advertising.
“CPC, CPM, PPC, PPA. None of that matters if you don’t get one thing. ROI. Return on Investment, noted Chelle Yarbrough, CTC, President of GemTravelSites. There are several great programs out there: ones that sell blind leads, consortiums that route traffic to local agencies, mega-sites of generic ads, and of course there is the pay-per-click and pay-per-action models of Google, MSN and Yahoo, which are great, but can get very expensive if you’re not careful. That can become a full-time job, and most would agree that their job is selling travel. Our network of niche websites makes it easier and much more affordable to get a destination wedding message in front of a bride, for example.”
The network of sites are all niche oriented: luxury travel, last minute travel, group cruises, class reunion & alumni cruises, destination weddings, honeymoon registry, tropical travel, condo vacations, spa vacations, ski vacations, adventure travel, eco-travel, family vacations & various destinations. Each of the sites are individually maintained with professionally written content and the latest “Web 2.0″ features. All are unique, but most include blogs, long-tail URLs, tags, RSS feeds, discussion forums and wikis and are designed for high traffic and return visitors. The network doesn’t allow popup ads, popunders or other types of questionable advertising methods.
“There are a lot of blips on the radar”, continues Yarbrough, “but content is king and keywords are queen. We build and maintain the sites to appeal to consumers; to have engaging content, simple, clean design and a compelling reason to get involved and stay involved with our sites. Agents are now able to use our network to get advertise their website, agency specialization or offer for as little as $25 per month on a site devoted to what they specialize in. It is a flat, simple fee that any agent can afford. We don’t sell travel, our mission is to drive the consumer to the advertisement that matches their need.”
Advertisers are given access to an interface to manage their own ads, and can change the wording and placement as they see fit. Complete reporting is available on demand and weekly teleclasses teach the advertiser how to both use the web-based software, and also the best practices for website advertising in general.
