Our Challenge

Creating a digital presence for TravelHost meant transitioning a legacy print-and-magazine brand into a modern, advertiser-focused platform. Key challenges included preserving local destination expertise while integrating online ad placement, booking integrations, and mobile experiences. The platform needed to clarify the business opportunity for potential franchise publishers—highlighting advertising sales potential, local content creation, and turnkey production support—while respecting its established hospitality lineage.

Solution & Result

We developed a cohesive multimedia experience emphasizing TravelHost’s core offerings:

• Integrated Local Publishing Flow: Designed for home‑based publishers who produce print magazines distributed to hotel rooms and complementary websites for local commerce and tourism. Publishers retain full control over sales strategy and advertising relationships without royalty fees.

• Turnkey Martech Ecosystem: From content design to print delivery and digital dashboards, publishers access media kits, brand guidelines, and production tools—enabling them to focus on sales and community partnerships.

• Value Messaging & Opportunity Clarity: Highlighting low investment requirements (typically $40–60K), no commission or royalty, and complete advertising revenue retention. Features include veteran discounts, home-based operation, and ongoing coaching support.

Results: The revamped platform successfully appeals to entrepreneurial publishers by showcasing income opportunity, minimal overhead, and control. With over 50 local publisher markets and growing territorial presence, TravelHost positions itself as a trusted multimedia guide for travelers—and a reliable micro-business for local advertisers.
