Digital marketing tips for SA’s travel and tourism industry
Travel consultants and companies are well aware of the benefits of digital marketing for their business. Whether you’re targeting groups of people looking for tour arrangements or students looking for a cheap backpacking trip overseas, you know they’re going to be searching for flights, accommodation and travel tips online. Here are a few tips you can use to make sure you are able to connect with your ideal customer:
Use the right digital platforms
Few companies can be successful on all digital marketing platforms and social media networks, so narrow down your options to a few that represent your brand. Blogs are generally very cost effective and give you the opportunity to provide more information than a single social media update. Also create profiles on relevant social media channels so that you can interact with followers directly and post your content on these channels.
Plan your content calendar
You know which types of trips get booked during certain times of the year, so create a content calendar which allows you to plan your content accordingly. This calendar will ensure you stick to your digital marketing plan and keep creating content.
Pick your keywords carefully
The travel and tourism industry is highly competitive, but you’ve already got a head start if you are creating high quality, unique content. Partner with a digital marketing consultant to choose keywords which will ensure your content gets found by people who are searching for the services and package deals that you offer online.
