Dear Travel Agents/Advisors,
Many of you know I had a tour operator business for over 23 years, and that I worked mostly with travel agents. I became friends with some clients and travel agents. They always asked me what months of the year I made more bookings, and in which months our company was busier. Luckily, business steadily increased, but we didn’t notice any big variation in which months this happened.
My education is in business administration, with a minor in psychology. I have learned both at school and in life that most people purchase on impulse and spur of the moment. Most people are visual, and others act on impulse when they hear, taste or smell something.
With travel, when someone watches a movie or sees pictures of a place, it creates a desire to go there. If they listen to a story, hear news about a place, or eat food from a different country, they crave seeing it and being there. Impulse is the name of the game, and when they are ready to book, you need to be their next thought, and a phone call away. How can you be sure that every time a person who knows you thinks about traveling, they will think of you?
Keep showing up! On social media, with weekly emails, bi-weekly texts. Be present and remind them that life is short and sweet. No one should waste life standing still, by not experiencing new places or different cultures. Travel until the whole world becomes one big well-known place, so worth living in and being explored.
Let everyone know that acting impulsively is normal and good and that you are there to make it all worthwhile. Live, love, and travel like there is no tomorrow, and your world will be a better place!
Feel free to use my posts and send them to your clients.
Cheers!
