When a client books with you, a big part of that decision on their part is trust in you as a travel professional. But with more and more of the younger generation choosing to book their flights, hotels, tours and cruises directly, it has become crucial for travel agents to 'sell themselves'.
We know, here at The Social Spider, that selling yourself isn't as easy as it sounds, so we've created a series of social tiles for your use (with credit as listed on the word doc in link) to help you grab some attention and understanding of just how important having a travel agent is. We call it:
Travel Agent to the Rescue!
TIME IS MONEY
Tell your prospective clients how you can save them time both pre-trip, in the planning process, and during their travels with assistance while on the go. Why waste time and energy trolling through mountains of content and websites searching for an elusive product that your travel consultant will just know and do all that hard leg-work for you?
GET MORE BANG
Travel agencies are well-connected, so tell your prospective guests about your personal experience, connections and links to exclusive offers that they can't get on their own. Show them the 'bang' that they can get for their 'buck'.
ASSISTANCE WHEN YOU NEED IT
If your clients are booking many of their own components, emphasize the positive qualities of booking everything with you. Perhaps your flight gets cancelled and you will be late for your hotel. Your professional travel consultant can advise the hotel and transfer driver, they can ammend the flights for you* and they can let you know its all happened so you don't have to waste your travelling time on the phone or internet trying to do it yourself.
And all this at no extra charge than the prices you would pay direct AND with so many benefits that they may not have considered.
So, feel free to download these social media assets and suggested text wording plus credit information here:
Please use these tiles to promote your Australian travel business, with our compliments!
