Frequently Asked Questions

How can hotels reduce OTA commission costs?
Build direct booking channels with rate parity, loyalty incentives, and remarketing campaigns. We help hotels shift 20-35% of bookings from OTAs to direct channels through Google Hotel Ads, metasearch management, and email campaigns that make booking direct the obvious choice.
What social media platforms work best for travel marketing?
Instagram is essential for visual inspiration. TikTok drives discovery among younger travelers. Pinterest captures trip planners actively saving ideas. Facebook remains effective for family and group travel advertising. We prioritize platforms based on your target traveler demographics and trip type.
How far in advance should travel marketing campaigns start?
Travel planning windows vary: domestic leisure trips are planned 2-8 weeks out while international trips are planned 3-6 months ahead. We run always-on awareness campaigns supplemented by seasonal pushes timed to peak planning periods for your specific destination and traveler type.
How do you market destinations during off-season?
Off-season marketing highlights unique shoulder-season experiences, lower prices, and fewer crowds. We run value-focused campaigns, event-based promotions, and content showcasing why off-season visits offer superior experiences. Dynamic pricing campaigns adjust messaging based on occupancy data.
Is influencer marketing effective for travel brands?
Travel influencer partnerships can be highly effective when properly structured. Micro-influencers with 10K-50K engaged followers often deliver better ROI than celebrities. We negotiate content rights, track booking codes, and measure actual revenue impact beyond just reach and impressions.
