Do you run a restaurant, cafe or hotel? Do you provide tourist services? If so, would you like to get more exposure? If you said yes to any of those questions, then read on...

In today's fast moving and information driven world, to succeed in your tourism related business you need your target customer to be aware of your existence.

That can occur in many ways: word of mouth, advertising in magazines and brochures or promotion by other means such as websites, travel agents and so on. However, advertising offline or just having a single page website is no longer enough!

Why?

Because most tourists start preparing their perfect trip a few months before.

Today, nearly everyone searches for travel information and make arrangements online before they depart. So by the time your advertising is seen offline, they have already made decisions or booked their accommodation, restaurants, car rental and excursions.

Therefore, only placing ads in newspapers and magazines has become less effective and more expensive. These old way of advertising is a one-time placement and only provide limited geographical exposure to a semi-targeted audience.

Moreover, nowadays customers tend to avoid commercial websites. Rather they prefer and trust personal information business sites managed by real people who have found solutions for problems or situations and are now providing reliable information and useful services for others to utilize.

The bottom line is presence of trust both online and offline is critical for decision making. Money can't buy it!

So what to do?

One of the most effective and best ways is to be seen on a website with high traffic and relevant high-quality content, such as St-Petersbrug-EssentialGuide.com.

Website visitors land to our site for one reason, to find and gather information for their upcoming vacation in St. Petersburg, Russia. They want to know many things... where to stay, where to eat, things to do and places to visit, what to expect with the weather, etc.

And the good news is...

...We, Anastasia and I (Davide), provide just what they are looking for - comprehensive information, including accommodation, restaurants, tourist attractions, tour guides, airport transfers, travel tips along with an English back up. In short, everything they need to plan their trip and enjoy their stay.

For this reason, our international audience makes St Petersburg Essential Guide a unique attractive environment for advertisers, especially for locals and those with a travel topic or business content related.

So if you want your business to be seen by potential, then a new travel site such ours can be a perfect vehicle to do that. With us you will reach the right kind of visitors and pay less than any traditional form of advertising.

Tip: To understand where your ad will be, please look at the picture below. This site is organized in 3 layers: the homepage is “tier-1” and obviously gets the most visitors. In the main site menu are the buttons to the “tier-2” pages. They are important hub pages and get more traffic than tier-3 pages. In the tier-2 pages, or at their bottom, are the links to tier-3 pages. This is where most pages are. All tier-3 pages always link to all other related tier-3 pages and “up” to the tier-2 pages and homepage.

• TARGETED TEXT AD LINK PLACEMENT: A cheap and simple way to promote yourself!
  

We can strategically place two type of Text Ad Links: one inside the box, one outside the box on pages where it’s best suited for the type of service or business you offer.

The ad inside a box have the same lay-out and background color as the rest of the page. So it tend to blend in with the site’s content and get many clicks. While the ad outside the box is just a simple short review or intro description of your business/service.

The writing text for both Ads is set to a max of 150 characters (though you’ll often need less text to get your message across. They can be placed on a targeted page or on a page content related (see example below).

We can create a unique web page about your business or service under your business name with a description of 300 words, a photo gallery, all the info you want us to put on the page, contact details, a link to your official website and an optional booking form, including Google Map and a Comment Form.
