Dear Travel partner.
We bring you a whole new way to advertise and promote your travel content. We publish three e-publications which are all designed to market your establishment using all the "new web" has to offer.
* SEO for Googles' new universal search and mobile search
* Social media viral marketing, including mobile
* Mobile search and social media
* Video
* Photo promotions

How is this method of advertising different from other methods?
“You must have SEO for Google’s universal search, you must have SEO for mobile, you must have social media, there is nothing better than video marketing, you must have a mobile presence” …and so the list just carries on. Sound familiar?


As a company, we have pooled our resources to bring you an electronically published tool which encompasses SEO, Mobile, social media, RSS feeds, video and photographic promotions, green initiatives PLUS one of the key buying decision makers today – Recommendations by friends and family. You will notice that we talk about “Advertorial Promotions”, not simply advertorials. An advertorial promotion is an advertisement plus editorial that we first promote using individual SEO and socialization before publishing it with our new Social media/email panel.

UNIQUE FEATURES

1. Advertorial promotions
2. Classified ads with social media and email
3. Mobile search linked classified ads
1. Advertorial promotions

An advertorial promotion is a 2-4 page promotion. The first page is a full page advertisement ( or full page image plus logo and buy line) and the 2-4th page is for your editorial.
First we promote your advertorial - we SEO and socialize it. We then publish your advertorial in the magazine of your choice with a social media / email panel which allows readers to recommend your advertorial to their friends and family

4 page example - click here
Please click on the panel links in the examples to see how it works

Advertorial promotions include the following variations:
1. Editorial plus advertisement or full page image with logo and buy line
2. Editorial plus photographic promotion
3. Editorial plus video promotion
4. Editorial plus lead generator
5. Editorial plus QR code promotion – This is a Magazine/mobile promotion
6. Editorial plus mystery discount promotion – This is a Magazine/mobile promotion

2. Classified type ads linked to Facebook, Twitter and Email

Classified type advertisements with social media and email links
Classified type ads are placed on their own in any of the three magazines, or they are packaged with the Travel Mobi Searches. IE. If you advertise a specific travel experience, it will not appear on the Travel Mobi Searches, but if your establishment is based in Southern Africa, or you are advertising a special discount, competition or discount coupon, an adapted version of your ad will appear on the Travel Mobi Searches

What is different about these ads?



A panel like this one appears at the bottom of your 1/6th , 1/3rd , ½ , ¼ page advertisement
A reader who likes your special deal or your establishment can recommend your ad to all friends and family on Facebook or Twitter, creating a viral marketing opportunity for your advertisement. Some readers don’t use social media, so we have added the ability for a reader to send a secure email, directly from your advertisement.

Why are recommendations so important?
Research indicates:
"A quarter of travellers say that online reviews by strangers help determine their travel plans compared to 14% for online advertisements, 13% for TV travel programmes, 11% for print travel magazines, newspaper supplements and 9% for TV advertising and direct mail.
Only recommendations by friends (28%) and family (24%) ranked on a par with online reviews (25%)." And this is what these magazines give you - 28% and 24% vs 11% in a printed magazine. Comscore


Please note: Classified ads in the Travel Experiences Update are NOT LINKED to a mobile search, they are published on the magazine site and in the downloadable magazine.

3. Classified type ads linked to Mobile Search


Mobile searches with social media integrated classified ads published in the Travel Mobi Update and the Travel Mobi discount and special deals classifieds
Two powerful marketing tools have been lumped together here to maximize your advertising ROI. A classified type ad with Facebook, Twitter and Email viral promotion plus a mobile ad with mobile promotion

Why is mobile search important?
Mobile is a marketing component that we simply cannot ignore. Our clients are all migrating that way and we have to follow. This is the one thing we “have to” do

1) Mobile subscribers will surpass 5 billion in 2010 (that's over 70 percent of the world population) and growing rapidly

2) Half a billion people accessed mobile Internet worldwide in 2009. Usage will double within five years as mobile overtakes the PC as the most popular way to get on the Web

3) By 2011, over 85 percent of new handsets will be able to access the mobile Web.
* Please note that this does not mean smart phones – you do not need a smart phone to access the mobile Web (but it does make for a richer experience).

4) The number of 3G handsets is growing fast. 3G means faster access to the mobile Web

5) What do consumers currently use their mobiles for?
According to this US data:
1. Calls
2. SMS
3. Mobile Web
4. Apps
5. Games
6. Social networking
7. Music

6) How will consumers use their mobiles in the future?
The key drivers for mobile usage are expected to be (in order of importance)
1. Money transfer
2. Location-based services
3. Mobile search
4. Mobile browsing

5. Mobile health monitoring
6. Mobile payment
7. Near-field-communication services
8. Mobile advertising
9 Instant messaging
10 Mobile music.
Travel Mobi will focus mainly on 3 and 4 for now. BUT, as the technology grows, so will we
7) Clients can recommend your Discount or Special deals to friends and family directly from the mobile search using email, Facebook and Twitter.

Advertise in the Travel Experiences Update if you want to promote the niche aspects of your establishment.
Example: You have a luxury hotel with a golf course and a spa
You could have one advertorial promotion for your hotel as a luxury experience for luxury travellers, an advertorial promotion for golf travellers and an advertorial promotion for travellers interested in Spa experiences. The aim here is to market to the specific travel niche's - not to try and save your marketing budget and try to include all the features of your hotel! This dilutes your marketing efforts and makes our job of integrating your advertorial with SEO and social media impossible.
