Technical Benefits of using Explore Nevada 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)

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 Nevada Tours can offer two very affordable plans to put your tours on the web:

1. $40 per tour, per month. In this program, we will provide checkout services for your tour, in exchange for taking a commission of 10% for each tour we sell.
2. $120 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.

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 $250 per month. Tour Placement Fees include:

• Access to the Explore Nevada 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
