Here are some quick tips, followed by a link to a hands-on tool, guaranteed to help you create better marketing and advertising communication. Read on to better promote and sell your tourism offerings.

1) Less is more

Keep copy brief, concise, descriptive. Bullets work well. Prospects are very time challenged, so you need to communicate your benefit-oriented information very quickly - usually 3 -6 seconds -- or they are gone.

2) All promotions must have a benefit and clarity to the prospect

Dominate the top 1/3 of any promotion material with benefit oriented headlines, concise words, and short descriptive text, i.e., Free ? Special ? New ? Sale ? Guaranteed, Alaska Dog Sledding, etc.

3) Credibility Sells

Maximize your credibility - i.e., years in business, # of guests, safe destination, endorsed by, #1 in? licensed, bonded, Voted best?, etc.< br>

4) Use Testimonials Everywhere

Guest comments are written "word of mouth" endorsements.

5) Your Company Name And Logo Doesn't Sell

Utilize maximum/premium space to promote consumer benefits and clarity in what you are selling, not your company name, logo and telephone number. Put them at them bottom or side of your web site, ad or tradeshow stand.
