A big thank you to everyone who joined our webinar on Wednesday! Especially to Tom Raffe (@tom) and Becky Frost (@peneleweytours) for the insightful conversation.
In case you missed it, or just want to listen to some key moments again, you’ll find the recording on YouTube.
We also now have a dedicated thread on the forum where you can share your ideas for approaching businesses with other publishers for feedback and insights here.
Blog post to follow soon!
Our blog post with highlights and insights from the session is now live!
In the post we cover the essentials of working with attractions, hotels and groups. We explain the options that are available to you as a publisher, including:
And how to use the tools we provide through the website and your publisher dashboard as well as support from the VoiceMap team when working with businesses.
The one question that most publishers wanted answered during the webinar was: how do you actually start the conversation with a business about buying your tour or commissioning you to create one?
Becky Frost, a publisher in Cornwall, who recently published a commissioned a tour for Truro Cathedral, shared her experiences, including how to find the right person, make yourself known, and pitch your ideas.
Finally, we also include more information on structuring the deal and writing the contract for commissioned tours.
The resources we mentioned in the webinar are available in our Selling to Businesses folder, including our partnering deck and hotel instructions.
