Copywriting and Content Writing for Travel Websites That Drive More Traffic and Sales

Content marketing opens the door for more two-way conversations and relationships with customers than ever before.

No surprise there, right?

You also know content writing that actively engages, informs, and entertains is vital to your content marketing efforts. As is persuasive copywriting.

That said, how is your content writing performing? What about your web copy? Are they getting the results you want?

If not, one reason might be that your content marketing strategy needs more work. Without a solid strategy, your travel business is going to have a hit-and-miss impact.

Travel Content Writing That Sets You Apart

So here’s something else to consider.

Maybe your website’s content writing isn’t any different than that of your competition. A lot of content writing out there is way too general, repetitive, and uninspiring.

In other words, it just doesn’t engage your audience or clearly show how your products and services differ from (are better than) those of your competitors.

carefully chosen words elevate the ordinary and make powerful content writing for travel websites
 

 

The right words elevate the ordinary and can move your audience to action.

If that’s the case, here’s how to immediately make your website’s content writing (and your travel business) stand out:

Speaks to a specific (niche) audience
Relevant to audience needs and interests
Can’t-find-this-anywhere-else-original
Appeals to emotion
Thought provoking
Conversational tone
Well researched
Consistently tells your business story

Together, they’ll help give your travel brand a clearly defined voice and personality.

Travel Copywriting That Moves Your Audience

Now, what about your website copywriting? Does it really ‘ignite desire’ (you know, sell)?

The thing about web copy is that it should be seductive in its selling – in a good way. Not slick.

And remember, web readers are scanners so use familiar words. Talk to them, let them get to know you. And always use a call to action!

When you combine authentic content writing with compelling copywriting readers will heed your call.

They’ll click on that link to get your new travel itinerary. Or they’ll share that inspiring adventure travel article with others on social media.

Better still, they’ll want to buy your latest tour package or travel service.

Rapport, trust, and sales.

When all is said and done isn’t that what you want?

What Else You Should Know About Me

I learned the fine points of fact-based storytelling at Toronto’s Humber College Journalism program. Later, I served as an executive member of the Professional Writers Association of Canada.

Looking back, travel and the outdoors grabbed my imagination early on. It all started with family vacations and YMCA summer camp where I was introduced to activities like canoeing, archery, and hiking.

Since those days I’ve pitched a tent and hiked in many Canadian national and provincial parks, Chilean Patagonia and the Nepalese Himalayas.  I’m an avid cyclist with a few century (100 miles) solo rides under my belt, too.

A Hero’s Journey

But what really sparked my interest in travel was my discovery of motorcycling. That started me on a hero’s journey across America on fabled Route 66 not long after getting my motorcycle licence (a travel memoir of that ride is currently in the works).

It eventually led to a national newspaper column, international magazine bylines, and corporate writing related to the sport. Not to mention, creating a route itinerary for an industry-leading international motorcycle tour operator.

An early adopter, my live podcast (2007-09) picked up a media award from North America’s largest motorcycle consumer show. (Stay tuned for my brand new travel podcast!)

Travel photography is another of my passions. While places can be stunning, I find equal beauty and grace in the faces of those I photograph along the way.

Oh yeah, and Anthony Bourdain would’ve loved my grape pie!

Copywriting and Content Writing Services
That Give You a Leg Up

You could say that managing a travel business is a lot like climbing a mountain.

Sure, you don’t have to deal with ropes, ice axes, or Elvis leg (unless, of course, you offer mountain climbing tours!).

But it does take courage and grit. And it takes content marketing strategy using copywriting and content writing services that give you a leg up on your competition.

Top Tactics for More Sales

The writing services I offer include the top content marketing tactics for B2C and B2B travel businesses. They’re tried-and-true ways to generate more leads and sales for your business.

Which ones are you looking for?

Articles

Business blogging continues to grow and longer, article-style blog content continues to perform better in search engines.

A typical blog post length is now (2019) more than 1,100 words. These posts have a much more reported-story, magazine feel with solid research and interviews.

The more you blog content of this kind, the greater likelihood your posts will get shared and generate more leads. In fact, companies with blogs produce 67% more leads than those without a blog (Demand Metric).

Blog posts are one of the best ways to redirect visitors to other website content like your e-newsletter, case study, white paper, etc.

SEO Website Copy

Website copy is written to persuade your audience and works together with content writing to build rapport, trust, and sales.

That means your copywriting targets your ideal customers. It entices them with features and benefits because, hey, customers care about what you can do for them.

Strong headlines with simple-to-scan text pulls them even closer to the sacred bottom of the sales funnel.

Great copy is also optimized copy. Using search engine optimization (SEO) techniques raises your website’s online visibility to make it easier for your ideal travel customers to find you.

I’ve written SEO copy for websites that ranks high (Page 1) in Google’s search engine results pages (SERPs). Maybe that’s how you found my website.

e-Newsletters

E-newsletters are a great way to build a community of loyal fans and followers with high-value, free content emailed on a regular basis.

They can be as simple as a one-page format that focuses on a single topic. Freebies like destination guides, travel deals, and exclusive offers give your audiences incentive to subscribe right away.

Ghostwriting

Consider a ghostwriter who writes content that you publish under your own name. If you’re a busy travel business exec with no time to write blog posts or thought pieces for trade and industry journals, this could be the way to go.
