Tour and Activity Operators Can Now Seamlessly Build Multi-channel, Always-on Digital Advertising Campaigns That Drive Online Sales
SAN FRANCISCO – February 27, 2020 – Sojern, a leading provider of digital travel marketing solutions, today announced expanded support for attractions customers around the world to provide an alternative to the high commission rates charged by online travel agencies (OTAs). Packaged as a subscription, Sojern can now help attractions customers of all sizes promote their tours, activities and experiences via Facebook, Instagram, programmatic video, and display advertising. Support for search engine marketing is currently in beta testing with U.S. clients.
Consumer demand to book tours, experiences and attractions online is increasing, but marketing to those consumers can be difficult. Many businesses lack the time, expertise and technology required to manage a comprehensive digital marketing mix that will allow them to reach customers online.Sojern has the tools, expertise and technology to identify, target and influence people who are traveling to a local market, as well as local prospects that are actively searching for things to do. With Sojern's world-class digital marketing solutions, tour and activity operators can easily find and reach travelers searching for in-destination experiences, and then influence them to visit the attractions’ website. As a part of the subscription, Sojern also offers complementary HTML5 ad creative development, campaign performance metrics, and real-time market insights—all accessible through a continually-updated dashboard.
“For many of our customers, running a business is hard enough. They know they need to think about digital marketing, but that’s on an already exhaustive list of tasks they’re thinking about to keep their business going. Finding a partner who they can trust to drive digital marketing gives them back hours every week to focus on giving their customers a great experience,” said Kurt Weinsheimer, Sojern Chief Solutions Officer. “Trying to optimize complex campaigns across Instagram, Facebook and Google on your own isn’t that scalable, but it can be if you have a good partner and a solution that fits within your budget. Sojern’s subscription advertising packages start at just a few hundred dollars per month, and use real-time traveler data and insights to help drive consumers to the attraction’s website and increase sales.”
“We have a permanent goal of increasing our comparable month-on-month online sales revenue, but to do that we need to drive more people to our website than we ever have before. We really needed a partner that could help us drive web traffic and we decided to work with Sojern because they came recommended by my friend Emily at City Sightseeing New Orleans,” said David Strainge, President City Sightseeing San Antonio. "The team has been great so far and we're excited to see what growth is possible now that Sojern is on board."
"The attraction to Sojern was that it's a smarter way of advertising with excellent return on investment,” said Reinier Van der Maat, CEO at Overland Ireland. “In our competitive environment, you have to work a bit better and smarter than the rest, and that's where Sojern comes in."
"We always knew the power of digital marketing and advertising but we didn’t have much success until we found Sojern. I can say with confidence that their attractions focused solutions have really delivered results for Kan Eang@Pier. The volume of visitors coming to try our restaurant in Phuket has significantly increased using the solutions offered to us. We are able to access a wide range of channels and we primarily use Facebook as that works best for our audience. Very often we have visitors that want to visit Thailand or Phuket but are waiting to be inspired with ideas for restaurants and tourist attractions. Working with Sojern and their online advertising solutions has allowed us to better target these new travellers and encourage them to come to our restaurant," said Mr. Tawee Sakornsin, Director of Sales & Marketing, Kan Eang@Pier, Phuket, Thailand.
