Tips and Best Practices

Musement has a wide range of partners, and the best performing partners witness an above-average conversion rate of 4-7%. You can check the content at Musement and write about it, or directly link out to the website. Use the Musement link in the following ways:

Tip 1: Home Page. The first way is to send traffic to the home page of Musement, which is helpful, but does not leave the customer with the conviction to buy exactly what they were looking for. This makes relatively low conversion rates.

Tip 2: Destination Page. The second is to link out to the destination page. This helps increase the performance, but it is still generic. Links to the top 10 products of a destination. (e.g. “Top 10 selling products in Barcelona” can increase the chances of sale.) You can find the link generator in your Travelpayouts account. It’s simple. Copy a link for the destination page, for example: https://www.musement.com/us/barcelona/, insert it to the custom link tool and get an affiliate link from the URL field.

You will get affiliate link: https://c83.travelpayouts.com/click?shmarker=XXXXXX&promo_id=2015&source_type=customlink&type=click&custom_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.musement.com%2Fus%2Fbarcelona%2F

If your page is dedicated to a destination, it is best to have links directed to specific best-selling products for that destination on the home page.

Tip 3: Product Page. The best and most highly recommended way is to link to the product page. For example:

1. When you describe an attraction at a destination such as the Eiffel Tower or Grand Canyon, suggest the top two to three products. For instance: In case of the Eiffel Tower, following are the top two products:
   1. Eiffel Tower priority access tickets
   2. Paris-by-night tour with Eiffel Tower skip-the-line tickets, bus tour and Seine cruise
2. If you describe a certain product, such as a London Pass, link out to the product itself, which is certain to show the highest conversion rates. To make the link, use “Custom link generator” in your personal dashboard:
   
3. Thanks to that, every link can be turned into an affiliate link.

You inspire customers with content, pictures and Musement deals with the entire booking process:

• Make your content unique by aligning it to your own editorial voice. You can use your own style to tell your visitors what to expect from the products at Musement.
• To push all the right buttons for your audience, having the right call to action button is very important. For example, “Check Product Availability”
• Whenever possible, add your customer’s testimonials and pictures to your page. This will make it more credible and engaging for your visitor.

You may also find information on API development and link building here. We recommend the following:

1. Make a search bar (with auto fulfill results, as the user types in);
2. Add some quick links under the search bar, to quickly direct to some of the top destinations. 10 quick links to Paris, New York, Rome, London, Tokyo, Istanbul, Barcelona, Las Vegas, Florence, Lisbon can be very helpful.

We highly recommend trying the Musement affiliate program for all our affiliates who are working with flights and hotels. Tours make up a profitable travel niche.
