I'm writing to introduce you to a free, 3-Part Tourism Marketing Video series by my friend and Mentor, Tim Warren from Sebastopol California. With over 18 years experience in travel and hospitality marketing, 'Tourism Tim' recently helped me past some tourism marketing misperceptions I've held for the eleven years I've been building websites for tourism businesses. I've heard this common marketing statement from any number of web designers and Lodge Owners alike: If I just get enough traffic or high enough ranking in the search engines, my consumer inquiries and sales will increase. However, this is only part of the truth. If your website/brochure/sport show booth is missing the *key elements* of successful selling, they will suck up valuable time and money - and yield a poor return. Does this statement sound familiar to you? I spent a ton of money and time on my website and advertising and I am not selling enough trips or increasing arrivals! Can you relate to these common misperceptions or frustrations? Then Tim's special 3-part Tourism Marketing Video Series is for you. FACT: Over 90% of all travel, tourism or hospitality research is now done online. PROBLEM: Most tourism websites are Dead on Arrival (DOA) and yield a poor return. SOLUTION: In this special tourism online marketing training video 1 of 3, Tim covers 2 key aspects of the online shopping habits of all travel consumers. Specifically, Tim will show you why you must communicate quickly and grab a prospects attention fast to successfully draw them into your marketing funnel. Find out how you can increase your tourism inquiries and sales in 2012. Watch today and prosper. http://ipmal.com/z/tourismtim Tourism marketing travel business free training with tourism Tim Warren.
