MenuWhat makes a travel website so unique when it comes to comparing hotel prices?
I hope my question is not miss leading in anyway. I have a travel website and have joined couple big brands as an affiliate instead of competing. I've been struggling with it for the past 90-days on driving traffic through Facebook Ads. I'm wondering if it's a brand/trust issue.

You are entering a space with a few VERY big names that people go to without even thinking much about it (Agoda is partnered and integrated across many channels, for example, as well as being highly optimized for Google).
Talking business strategy would be a separate matter, but to answer your question as someone who has traveled EXTENSIVELY and lived in many different countries, the two biggest factors for me is price (many of these large competitors of yours have partnership deals with properties around the world, and so can offer discounts - when I worked in hospitality years ago, there were always locked in discounts for anyone who booked through Orbitz, for example), and thoroughness (searching across as many potential properties as possible).
You also have to consider that Airbnb is a HUGE competitor these days (they like to position themselves as a partner in the hospitality space, but let's face it, speaking for myself, I stopped using hotels since Airbnb came around many years ago).

How do you attract the press to write articles about the launch of your product?
Most people -- regardless of their company or product -- go about attracting press the wrong way. The publications exist to provide value to their readers and increase their own readership. Rather than proclaiming how your product is the most amazing thing since sliced bread, think about it from the publication's point of view. How will YOU help THEM solve a problem for THEIR readers? Secondly, do your research on which author/contributor/editor/writer to contact. Not all cover the same topic, nor do they all have the same interests. What may be appealing to one may look like spam to the next. Understand who on staff covers your industry or similar products. Look at what features they highlighted in other product/service reviews; these are the issues they feel are important to their readers. Help them solve THEIR problem and they'll write about you all day long.SN

How can we generate more leads and better market our travel startup?
Dirt simple approach, I've used with several of my Travel Agent clients. 1) Determine your most lucrative destination (highest commissions for you). Say... Germany... 2) Determine starting point of most people visiting your destination. Say... Auckland New Zealand... 3) Run a Facebook Ad campaign targeting Auckland residents + pixel people clicking on your Ads, so your Ads stalk them. Simple. Cheap. Effective.DF

How do I validate an idea in my marketplace for the industry?
Several ways come to mind. Formulate your idea into one (or better all) of the following + you'll know by interest level if you have a winner. 1) My favorite. Start a Meetup Group (set the zipcode of group) to match the zipcode of a US city where most people originate travel to your target destination. For example, If your targeting running tours in Chang Mai Thailand, research what city people in US most travel from to visit Chang Mai. Then run Meetup events related to Thai Travel topics. 2) Package information about Thai Travel into a PDF + sell it via Facebook Ads. 3) Start a Kickstarter project. 4) Speak at existing Travel Meetups + other groups + related conferences about your idea.DF
