Highly Targeted Travel Advertising Opportunities
TravellersConnected.com is an award-winning
travel network which has successfully established
itself as one of the Web’s leading online Travel Communities.
We are a specialist, high-volume Travel Website
which is uniquely configured to offer partner organisations
original and cost effective means of reaching the very targeted
‘Gap Year’, ‘Career Break’ and Adventure
Traveller market sectors – sectors which are traditionally
hard to speak directly to.
The free website allows travellers to contact each other
before, during and after their trip wherever they are on the
planet. The site has already received rave reviews from across
the travel community with both members and travel professionals
alike commenting on its content. We have regularly featured
in the UK Press, including The Daily Telegraph, The Daily
Mirror and The Times.
Why advertise with us? - TravellersConnected.com
USP’s
>> We receive a massive volume of visitors
a month – currently over 40,000 per month and expanding
both rapidly and exponentially. This means your product or
service will have massive exposure
>> The travellersconnected.com Alexa
traffic ranking is far lower than many of the sites in its
field.
>> TravellersConnected.com is listed in The Times &
Telegraph top 100 Travel websites in the world
>> TravellersConnected.com is hugely ‘stickable’
– this means that visitors have a phenomenally high
return rate (12,000 per month are return visitors) and hence
most will have multiple exposures to your brand
>> The demographic of our visitors is very wide ranging,
split between students and school leavers embarking on ‘gap-years’
and more mature career breakers and extended holidaymakers.
These demographics are traditionally hard to target effectively
>> The aim of the site is to disseminate advice to other
travellers – advertisers will benefit from strong word
of mouth advertising as members recommend services to one
another.
>> Due to the global nature of the site, advertising
on country specific pages allows local advertisers
the chance to reach people planning trips to any country in
the world.
>> 100’s of thousands of non-members will also
be able to view your advert, many of whom come across TC when
looking for related popular searches on the internet such
as "backpacking in X" i.e backpacking in Tanzania
or "Meet Travellers in X". We employ leading Search
Engine Optimisation (SEO) experts and as such searches like
the above are increasingly placing our country pages on page
one of Google across the world with many reaching number 1
globally.
>> We are committed to significant traffic building
investment
Why we are set to keep growing exponentially –
