The package described involves a collection of vacation and travel websites focusing on the New England region, covering destinations in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The primary site, the main focus of revenue, utilizes an existing platform and includes a domain purchased in 2007, which redirects to the main site. Along with this, there is a separate WordPress blog that attracts significant monthly traffic but has not been fully monetized beyond basic advertising.
Included in the package is a substantial email subscriber list of over 13,700 individuals, with newsletters sent monthly, as well as back issues. There are also four eBooks offered as incentives for increasing email subscriptions. A Facebook page with over a thousand fans also comes with the package.
The potential for increased monetization is emphasized, with the main revenue currently derived from AdSense and smaller affiliate programs. Untapped avenues such as vacation rental promotions exist. Although the primary site comprises 139 pages, many remain outdated, revealing opportunities for content expansion, particularly in Maine and the ski season. A redesigned site and an HTML template are also part of the offer.
The New England sites are positioned as valuable resources in the travel industry, offering unique content that goes beyond typical travel booking services by highlighting New England's diverse geography, history, culture, and more. The sites aim to capture the market for those interested in the varied attractions across the New England states.
