Experience Marketing for Direct Bookings
Direct marketing often gets skipped because it feels too hard, too time-consuming, or too expensive, especially when operations come first.
This course shows you (and/or your team) how to attract more direct customers by improving how you communicate value, build trust, and guide guests from “interested” to “booked” — with a simple, repeatable method that fits real tourism operations, even in peak season.
This is training. We teach you and your team how to do this in-house — we don’t provide ongoing social media management or done-for-you marketing.
What you will achieve
By the end of this course, you will have:
A clear experience promise (why guests choose you — in one sentence)
A direct-booking messaging kit (USP, key messages, hooks, FAQs, proof points)
A simple content system you can maintain in peak season (no “post-every-day” pressure)
A clearer booking pathway (calls-to-action, trust, clarity, fewer drop-offs)
A 30-day direct demand plan you can repeat monthly, even with limited time
More confidence knowing what to say, what to post, and what to prioritise — without needing an agency
Who it’s for
Perfect for operators who:
Want to rely less on platforms and build direct demand that they control
Know direct marketing matters, but it keeps slipping because the business is busy
Struggle to explain what makes their experience worth the price
Want better results without “posting all the time”
Need a plan that fits the reality of seasonality, staffing constraints, and peak periods
Want to learn a method they can run themselves — or hand to a team member to manage
What we cover
Messaging that sells the experience (not just the itinerary)
What guests really buy: feeling, story, outcome, transformation
Your “why choose us” (positioning) and how to communicate value clearly
Simple ways to talk about price with confidence — without discounting
Trust + conversion foundations (so guests feel safe to book)
Social proof, reviews, imagery, and clarity that reduce hesitation
Calls-to-action and booking prompts that actually work
A smoother booking pathway (reduce drop-offs, increase “yes”)
Simple, repeatable content (that a busy team can maintain)
A weekly structure you can follow in 30–60 minutes
Content prompts for every season and product type
How to create content fast without burning out (and without being “good at social”)
A 30-day direct demand plan (practical, not complicated)
A realistic campaign plan you can repeat every month
What to focus on when time is limited (and what to ignore)
How to stay consistent without feeling like marketing is a second full-time job.
