Why advertise in Luxury Traveler?
In its classic simplicity, Luxury Traveler has a look of success, not unlike the glossy periodicals and professional journals that are found in America's most prosperous households.   Its editorial content spans LifeStyle interests that are  associated with top income earners and showcases a wide variety of luxury travel experiences.  By design, Luxury Traveler is intuitive in its navigation and an enjoyable journey for the reader. 

Distinctive Advertising
An ad in Luxury Traveler is a very good thing, and so is a presence in LUXE (use this link to see an example).  In their smartly crafted surroundings, everything is focused on the luxury travel experience.  There's nothing down-market here to break the spell. 

In your presence in Luxury Traveler you will encounter an audience of cultured  upscale travelers.  If the reader is unfamiliar with your brand, this is a great opportunity for a successful introduction.  Some of our readers may be previous clients who in rediscovering you may experience pleasant recollections of their past experiences.  Either way, you're off to a very good start.

Your ad is also working when your web site receives added traffic from our readers who visit you online.  This is yet another  opportunity, to create a favorable impression, to receive a booking or to become reacquainted with a previous customer.  The benefits are considerable, from improving the return on your investment in online services to commission-free high yield bookings.  

Online Public Relations
Advertising is important.  But, so is PR.  This is where you get to "sell the sizzle and not the steak."  "the weblog at Luxury Traveler" is both a viable part of our online magazine and a popular free standing weblog with a sizeable audience in each instance.  If you advertise with us, we'll run your seasonal press releases
and announcements in our weblog.  This service is free of charge to our advertisers.. 

Social Media
Social Media has become a force majeure in the field of customer direct communication.  Not surprisingly, Luxury Traveler is in the midst of it all and you can join us there.  We use Twitter, Facebook and YouTube extensively to call attention to interesting items.

As you can see, there's a lot of value added benefits for advertisers in Luxury Traveler . But remember this, everything you do online leaves a footprint.  So when that footprint tiptoes through the cache of Luxury Traveler at Google, etc, it also improves your Google standing.  If a reader sees that item in Google, even if its from the past, it can create a very favorable impression in the mind of that reader.  There's no charge for this important value added benefit either! 

Join us!
So, there we are.  In all the right places, with the "right look and feel", effectively promoting the luxury travel experience to the most affluent niche market in America.  I do hope you'll join us.  What follows is a brief presentation of our our advertising products and services.

"A fashionable online address"

 

France | Saumur

Hotel & Restaurant

Town & Country Chic

A stately home on an estate within the midst of historic Saumur   

Designed in the era of Napoleon III, Verrières with its sculpted wood paneling,  painted ceilings, and fabric covered walls, fully retains its original elegance.  With stained glass windows as backdrop to a great carved wooden staircase it is a wonderful example, and modern day experience, of life in the "Belle Epoque".  This vast mansion house, built for a General of Napoleon III's Army, is uniquely located in it's four acre park "a l'anglaise" in the historic district of Saumur. 

The Proprietors:  Yolaine and Thierry de Valbray-Auger

 

Visit LUXE and you'll agree, this isn't web browsing.  This, is just like window shopping on Fifth Avenue, Rodeo Drive or, London's Burlington Arcade.   And, this is much more than just advertising.  This is an unspoken dialogue between luxury brand and an affluent traveler.  To be part of LUXE you have to be tops in your class, or in a class by yourself..

The LUXE presence accommodates up to 135 words of descriptive copy and a beautiful full color photograph.  We'll include a link to your website as well as a "Reserve" link to connect the reader directly to the booking section of your web site.  Please remember, we always encourage our readers to "book online and book direct while you're visiting Luxury Traveler....."

There's more.  As a LUXE participant, we'll gladly publish your seasonal news releases or announcements in "the weblog at Luxury Traveler".  We'll top these insertions off with a Tweet on Twitter to let our followers know what you're up to and make it an item in Facebook and YouTube for friends and passers by. 

The LUXE address $650 per year and requires an invitation or qualification.
