Newsletter rate card for partners


Our ezine Our newsletter:

At present Responsible Travel sends out 2 newsletters a week to approximately 80,000 email addresses, the purpose of which is to bring travelers to the Responsible Travel website.

To this end our newsletter features product from the Responsible Travel website and occasionally includes a new partner or accommodation if the product is fairly unique. Each newsletter is divided into sections which change from one newsletter to the next, we typically only feature one trip per partner or accommodation per newsletter, and we would expect to generate between 0 and 10 inquiries per page.

"We had a great response to our first feature in the newsletter with several inquiries in the first few days. This was a tenfold increase on our normal inquiry rate. I would not hesitate in recommending the newsletter as a form of marketing."
