Technical Benefits of using Explore Arizona Tours

• Professional, maintained site with SEO expertise behind it. We're already ranking on major search terms
• Extensive traffic
• State-of-the-art, user-friendly purchase process accepting both credit cards and PayPal
• Cross-selling (your tours are linked to each other, even if they wouldn't show up in searches together)
• Pooled advertising budget gives you access to more and better advertisements. Check out our placement, updated weekly. These are the pay-per-click advertisements we're running. Could you cover as much ground, and place as well, on your current advertising budget?
• Powerful catalogue design allows the display of multiple photos, or even video, and establishing complex schedules (i. e. "Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the summer, but Wednesday only after October 1st")
• Pickup schedules (the customer can be given a selection of pickup points and times, most useful for bus tours)

Customer benefits that make your listings on Explore Arizona Tours perform better

• Customer can stay on site, and therefore close to your products, through entire research process.
• "One-stop shopping" environment encourages comparison shopping and complimentary purchases.
• Attractively formatted data answers common customer questions without tying up your representatives.
• Multiple search and browse options accommodate a wide range of customer types.
• Modern, attractive site creates trust and feelings of professionalism.
• Statewide focus captures potential customers your current advertising may miss.
• Bilingual site design accommodates the growing Spanish-speaking market. The Census Bureau reports that 31 million US residents speak Spanish at home. Can you afford to leave 10% of the market on the table?

Value Benefits

A simple travel booking site with checkout can cost over $10,000 up-front, plus continual maintenance, hosting, and payment-processing fees, and several hundred dollars per month in pay-per-click advertising.

By splitting the costs among dozens of tour providers, Explore Arizona Tours can offer two very affordable plans to put your tours on the web:

1. $50 per tour, per month. This plan features a link to your site on the tour listing so you can complete the booking transaction yourselves. This may represent a better value for tours with large sales volume, or if you're trying to build positioning for your own site.
2. We can also provide premium "display ad" placement in the header of our site-- providing a larger graphic than most traditional ad networks, and perceived "ownership" of your category, for just $85 per month.

Tour Placement Fees include:

• Access to the Explore Arizona Tours "provider" interface, so you can adjust schedules and pickup times, as well as editing the tour descriptions.
• Technical support (for setup problems and services like enabling slideshows and video)
• Search optimization of your tour descriptions
• Hosting and maintenance of the site as a whole.
• Contribution to the pooled advertisement budget.
• Emailed notification of new bookings
