Get Your Business Featured in Top Travel Publications

Why Earned Media Matters

Getting featured in respected travel publications is one of the most effective ways to build credibility and attract new customers — without paying for ads.

Unlike paid media (like social media ads or traditional magazine ads, etc.), earned media comes from a trusted third party — a travel writer or editor — which makes it more credible and persuasive. When someone reads about your business in Travel + Leisure or Condé Nast Traveler, they’re more likely to trust it and want to experience it for themselves.

I’ll craft the pitch — you send it

🌟 Benefits of Earned Media:

✔️ Increased Credibility – When a respected publication highlights your business, it signals quality and trust.
✔️ Long-Term Value – Unlike ads, a media feature can continue driving interest and bookings long after it’s published.
✔️ SEO Boost – Online coverage can increase your search rankings and make it easier for people to find your business.
✔️ More Bookings + Sales – People are more likely to book or visit after seeing positive media coverage.

This is a one-time, DIY-focused service designed to give you the tools you need to secure media coverage on your own — without the long-term commitment or high cost of hiring a PR agency. I’ll provide you with a professional pitch and the right contacts, but you’ll handle the outreach and follow-up.

While I’ll craft a professional, targeted pitch, media coverage is not guaranteed. However, you’ll receive a DIY Publicity Guide that includes tips on following up and adjusting your pitch to increase your chances of success.

3. How do you know which editors to contact?

As a travel writer with bylines in major publications like Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler, Nat Geo, etc. I have insight into what editors are looking for and where your story is most likely to land. I’ll identify the right editors based on your business type and story angle.

4. How quickly will I receive my pitch and contact list?

You’ll receive your completed pitch and editor list within 4 business days of booking the service.

Yes! The pitch will be tailored to your business and story angle, so you can adapt and reuse it for other publications. If you’d like to adjust the pitch for different audiences, the DIY Publicity Guide will help you with that.

6. Do you offer follow-up support after I send the pitch?

This is designed as a one-time package, but the DIY Publicity Guide includes detailed instructions on how to follow up effectively. If you’d like more hands-on support, I also offer one-on-one consulting.

7. Is this only for vacation rentals?

No — while this offer was inspired by vacation rentals, it’s ideal for any travel-adjacent business, including boutique hotels, tour operators, restaurants, wineries, and wellness retreats.

8. What if my business isn’t directly travel-related?

If your business has a connection to travel, lifestyle, or local experiences, there’s a good chance we can find a compelling angle. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out before booking!

9. How will I know if the pitch works?

If an editor is interested, they’ll usually respond with follow-up questions or ask for more information. If you don’t hear back after following up, you can adjust your pitch using the tips in the guide or try a different outlet.

10. Do you offer refunds if I don’t get media coverage?

Since media coverage depends on the editor’s decision, I can’t guarantee placement. However, the value comes from receiving a professional pitch, targeted contacts, and a clear strategy to increase your chances of success — which you can continue using beyond this initial pitch.
