Dorene Wharton joins me today to share copywriting tips for tour operators. She shares how writing copy is an art and science that tour operators can learn to produce powerfully engaging copy.
She shares what has changed since Covid-19, how to establish trust, and what hasn’t changed in terms of effective copy. Dorene’s copywriting tips for tour operators highlight the must-haves for your content and stresses the importance of authenticity. She also discusses why good copywriting starts with your purpose and reveals how you can find the right balance between SEO keywords and your brand’s voice.
Copywriting is a fascinating subject that includes a lot of psychology and is very much a science in its own right. There are many different approaches to writing good copy so we will hope to produce more episodes discussing copywriting tips for tour operators, whether it be writing up tour descriptions or writing facebook ads for your activities and tours.
“You have to know your customer because you are going to playback a lot of things they say in your copy.”
