need advertising/marketing help for touring company

Hi there,

I'm in the progress of building a motorbike touring business in the Alps and wanted to tap into your cumulative competence as to where to advertise. Hope this obvious plug and cry for help abides by forum rules. If not feel free to delete

As I spent the last 17 years in Germany I'm pretty out of touch with biking stuff in UK, having put all my energy into the Alps and neighbouring countries.

I've done some work on my website and do internet advertising on google and bing but apart from the odd visitor who does scroll through the whole site there isn't really a lot of customer generation (mind, only been doing it for a couple of weeks).

Now the question comes to mind whether to advertise in UK mags and if so, in which ones?

I'd also be most interested in any other tips you lot may have.

Many thanks in advance for your advice and your time!

Cheers,

Ingo

 

Cheers for all replies!

As I'm a Fb dyslexic I've got serious trouble getting to like this horrible piece of software but it seems there is no way round it.

I've also added some interactive non-intrusive pop-ups to prompt people to ask questions and get their email addresses off them

Fb does have some great targeted advertising which is also relatively cheap compared to google and bing.

Any feedback on the site is also more than welcome.

 

Got one already translating books! Not a lot of dosh in it, though
