Reach Key Decision Makers Across Platforms

Relationships are based on value, not price. Tea-thirsty subscribers in 104 countries finance our venture. Enhancing their journey in tea is our reason, mission, and our WHY. Readers who pay for content do not object to advertisers promoting quality products. Relevant advertising that educates and makes purchases convenient adds value.

Newsletters

  1. Vendors in the program offer 500 grams of teas ranging from $17 US Dollars to 70 Indian Rupees, to 70 Euros to 7000 Chinese Yuan ($1000). Marketers who regularly update their LiveMarket promotion and create an effective landing page featuring specialty teas in the $20-$40 range may close ten sales monthly. Appealing images and a compelling brand story are sufficient. Still, campaigns featuring videos are more effective in capturing the attention of most readers who view Tea Journey on mobile devices.
  2. During the past seven years, Tea Journey has attracted a loyal readership of several thousand paid subscribers with “unlimited access” and about 10x that many MailChimp registered “free” subscribers with limited access (one free post per month). The combined audience of magazine readers and tea professionals mirrors the entire (English-speaking) tea community. Crafting messages that resonate and drive sales among Tea Journey’s readers suggests those same messages, price points, and selections will scale on social media.
  3. LiveMarket campaigns generate unusually high (10% +) click-through rates — directing readers to landing pages controlled by advertisers. If your internal data records conversion rates as high as 50% of motivated buyers, you will do brilliantly on Instagram, Facebook, and even Twitter.

Uniques average 350 per day and peak at 1000 during the first 24 hours after articles are posted, trailing to 750 views and then 500 days over the next few days. MailChimp ranks 5000 of the 18,000 newsletter subscribers, either four-star or five-star. This pattern repeats three times per month as articles post on the 10th-20th-30th. In addition, Tea Journey has 4,500 followers on Facebook and 12,000 industry professionals who get posts via LinkedIn. Two-thirds of Tea Journey subscribers reside outside the US. Interest in specific articles varies and plays an important role in effective campaigns. Features on India do quite well in that region. Features on European tea growers are popular in the EU. The Nepal special issue, the India special issue, Health special issue, and the Green tea special issue attract readers with common interests. Tea Journey is completely transparent; advertisers are encouraged to use Google Analytics and JetPack to confirm reach, platform, length of page views, bounce rate, etc.  Tea Journey is transactional, every business depends on financial support, but meaningful relationships prize traceability and accountability over price.
