Develop a mobile responsive website designed to support digital marketing campaigns and generate sales leads for private charter and aircraft management services.
There are multiple targets to pursue and nurture, requiring a variety of integrated marketing tactics. Distinct messaging can be directed at specific targets for maximum effectiveness. Charter passengers seek different benefits than aviation brokers or aircraft owners.
We recommend a multi-channel approach with segmented messaging, depending on the target. Search marketing is the best way to step in front of existing demand and generate leads that are ready to buy – but they come at a cost. The key to controlling cost is the landing page and the quality score it earns from Google. In addition, investing in your brand and online reputation by growing a loyal following on social media and via email is the best way to reduce marketing costs in the long term.
Targeting more sophisticated charter passengers, aviation brokers and aircraft owners successfully online will require building a solid reputation – and a loyal following. Using social media, Green Dot can run ad campaigns and increase your followers by targeting ultra wealthy individuals living in specific areas with interest in private aviation and travel.
Posting information and content this target audience will find relevant and useful is key. Inspiring images of aircraft and the jet set lifestyle. Blog posts about ownership, aircraft types, management, destinations, etc. Ads promoting travel on specific types of aircraft or discounted empty legs. All of these are examples of content that should engage this audience successfully.
Using social media effectively requires an agency partner that understands how to target your specific audience and create the content needed to engage them, a website designed to publish the necessary content with dedicated landing pages for each audience segment, and a sufficient budget to reach the audience with enough frequency.
That’s where retargeting ads can help. Retargeting banner ads can be served to your targets once they leave your website and visit their favorite news, sports and social media sites at a very low cost.
To further reduce costs in the long run, we recommend utilizing email marketing to communicate directly with established clients using messaging specific to their segment. For example, we can design a custom email template for brokers that the Journey team can update daily if needed with rates or routes you want to promote. In addition, we recommend a monthly segmented email for charter clients and aircraft owners to stay top of mind and promote specific services or opportunities.
The new site will be designed as a full screen experience (1,600 pixels wide) on desktop computers. Integrating custom photography and high impact video is highly recommended to generate an engaging and visually stimulating experience in conjunction with this larger footprint.
We suggest shooting the interiors of a variety of aircraft, as well as aircraft exteriors and taxi maneuvers. Combined with stock footage of planes in flight and people portraits, we can craft a variety of high impact videos that will set the Journey site apart from the competition.
In addition, we will shoot high resolution photography at the same time and use the video assets to create a 30 – 45 second video ad for social media ad campaigns. Combined with video testimonials of clients, this footage can become the secret weapon your competition is not prepared to counter.
Models, stylists, locations and aircraft not included.
The Journey website is quoted as a full screen experience with dynamic content, stunning photography and video clips of aircraft and client testimonials. While there are many private aviation websites, none have yet to take advantage of utilizing video content. This project includes silent auto-play video clips as well as full features testimonials and a corporate overview.
The Journey website is quoted as a custom site built on the WordPress platform and includes a content management system (CMS) to allow the client to add or edit content, including empty leg and aircraft fleet sections of the website. The site will be designed for desktop computers and include mobile responsive code to ensure content is mobile friendly and renders consistently on tablets and smartphones.
Google AdWords allows your website or landing pages to be listed prominently on Google when people search for relevant keywords. A Google AdWords certified marketer can help you write targeted ads that cost less than your competitors are paying by optimizing each part of your campaign.
Video ads can be placed on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube where they can reach a wide target audience at a low cost, especially when compared to television placements. Research shows everyone from Millennials to senior business executives now prefers video over text and that video can increase conversions by over 65%.
Green Dot recommends targeting charter passengers on Instagram and Facebook. We’re seeing rates as low as 2¢ per view on these platforms and engagement rates two to three times higher than static image ads.
Digital display ads are used to retarget all prospects who visited your website but did not complete the desired action. These display ads can be shown to visitors from all traffic sources. The retargeting ads run on a wide network of websites that support display advertising and “follow” your prospects from site to site as the browse the net, giving you a second and third opportunity to close the deal.
Emails can be used to nurture a lead or promote a specific product, service or event. Even in a crowded inbox, an email with a good subject line and relevant content will stand out and drive action. Green Dot has experience with a wide array of email marketing platforms including MailChimp, HubSpot, Exact Target and many more.
Engaging and original content is vital to the success of every advertising campaign.
Content can be shared via email and social media while helping to drive SEO rankings and free traffic for important long-tail keywords. Proprietary content in the form of well researched blog posts, and branded social media graphics engage visitors who are researching brands and evaluating the competition.
This service provides clients with individually researched and well written blog posts, as well as customized social media graphics on an ongoing basis.
Green Dot ensures you know how your campaigns are performing at all times. Clients have direct access to the marketers working on their campaigns as well as to reporting platforms like Google Analytics (website performance), RavenTools (campaign performance) and Call Tracking Metrics (phone call lead tracking).
How much you spend on media every month is totally up to you. The more you spend, the greater your reach and frequency. Green Dot provides recommendations and guidance based on campaign performance and objectives, while allowing clients to adjust their budgets as needed.
Green Dot does not bill clients for media insertion, or require a minimum budget. Instead, we only invoice for media planning and campaign management. We manage and execute the media buys, create all ads, a/b test the ads, optimize your monthly spend (we may suggest increasing / decreasing the budget allocation depending on a channel’s performance) and report on the results.
All media expenditures are the responsibility of the client and are billed directly to the client by the media vendor or advertising platform. This approach creates pricing transparency and trust, while allowing media budgets to be adjusted as needed.
Green Dot includes these media management services at no additional charge with your marketing retainer up to the specified monthly threshold. Scaling the media buy beyond this baseline triggers a media management fee of 12% applied only to the net new spend above the included monthly threshold.

Social Advertising & Marketing
Social Advertising
Advertising on social media allows you to laser target and reach those people most likely to find your product or service relevant, interesting and valuable. Placing ads on social channels is the best way to grow your followers and reach targets that are not already aware of your brand, but should be.
Many social networks only allow you to reach a percentage of your community for free. For example, Facebook only allows you to reach up to 6% of your page follows organically and after that you must pay to reach the remaining 94%. Social advertising helps help reach and nurture the people in your community that the networks won’t allow you to reach for free.
