Good To Be Back

Posted on by

Hello everyone, It’s so good to be back.

For the past two years we haven’t been very active promoting small travel businesses with free adverts in Traveljunkies.

Instead, we’ve been looking ahead to when travelling gets back to some kind of normal so you’ll be pleased to know that you’re still here with us and your free advert in Traveljunkies.com is still alive and well.

We’ve made some changes which we think will help visitors better understand who you are and what you do, which in turn could create more traffic to your website.

So my message to our customers, old and new., is please keep watching as we roll out the new Traveljunkies Adventure Travel Directory and thank you for continuing to trust us to help you grow your business.

Best wishes
Cliff

Artificial Intelligence

Posted on by

Hello Real People

Unless you’re under a rock you will have heard of Artificial Intelligence
A company called openai.com has developed something called chatGPT
It does lots of things so I gave it a try to see what it wrote
Here it is  …..

I wrote this 
Free adverts for small travel companies
.
And this is what it wrote
.
There are several ways for small travel companies to advertise for free:
  1. Social media: Create a business page on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and post regular updates about your company and its services.
  2. Online directories: List your company on online directories such as TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Google My Business.
  3. Blogging: Start a blog and post regular content about your company, the destinations you offer, and travel tips.
  4. Email marketing: Collect email addresses from customers and send out newsletters with information about your company and upcoming trips.
  5. Word of mouth: Encourage satisfied customers to share their positive experiences with their friends and family.
  6. Partnering with other small businesses: Partner with other small businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, to cross-promote each other’s services.
  7. Influencer marketing: Leverage the reach of influencers in your industry to promote your company and its services.
  8. Participate in online communities: Participate in online communities and forums related to travel and share your knowledge and experience.

Note that, these methods may not be as effective as paid advertising in terms of reaching a broad audience, but they are cost-effective ways to promote your business and build a loyal customer base.

Amazing

Nobody Books Accommodation?

Posted on by

All accommodation has rooms and beds so unless yours are really, really special, who cares?
So don’t waste your money advertising your rooms. It’s probably on your website anyway.

So think like your customer. Where they want to go and what they want to do is far more important to them and because everybody has to stay somewhere, accommodation is a necessary add-on. Nobody books accommodation just for the sake of it.

So, to get people to stay at your place you have to get found and the best way to do this is to be helpful, and the more helpful you are, the more likely they will stay on your website, and that’s where you tell them how great your accommodation is.

Say how beautiful your area is, what goes on, what visitors can do and what special deals you’ve arranged with local businesses, restaurants, pubs, taxis etc.  Do you offer bikes, or does someone nearby?
And don’t forget convenience. It’s high on everyone’s list these days.

Instead of saying you have beautifully furnished rooms with comfortable beds, promote your area because when you’re helpful you’re already half way to getting them to stay with you.

So don’t compete with other hotels, hostels, B&Bs or whatever. Get people to visit your website. That’s where you do your selling.

Don’t be lucky, be clever.

Checkout Traveljunkies here and see what small businesses around the world are offering, and remember, you don’t have to pay to advertise. It’s free for as long as you want.

Cheers
