Philosophy
Propellic’s Tour Operator Marketing Philosophy
In the dynamic world of travel, Tour Operators face challenges in standing out amidst competition and connecting with their audience. We believe in crafting authentic experiences, fostering trust through content strategies, and embracing experiential marketing to drive meaningful bookings and cultivate lasting relationships with travelers.
Own Your Brand
OTAs are bidding on your brand name and winning. Don’t pay a commission when someone searches for you. Branded paid media terms immediately increase your margins by reclaiming your hard-earned direct bookings.
Integrate Your Search Marketing
Tour operators often rely on bottom-of-funnel, single-touch-point marketing tactics. However, travelers spend considerable time researching and planning their trips before making a booking decision. By engaging travelers at the top of the funnel with compelling content strategies, and using paid media, tour operators can effectively convert potential customers into bookings.
Quit Being Normal. Get Niche.
Many tour operators spend excessive resources targeting generic keywords such as "tour packages" or "vacation deals" using organic search strategies. However, this market is oversaturated, making it challenging to stand out. To drive demand effectively, tour operators should focus on niche, unique, and interest-based content that resonates with their target audience. By offering specialized experiences and catering to specific interests, tour operators can differentiate themselves and attract more bookings.
