How Travel Agents Can Increase Email Opens

andrew@travelagencytribes.com (Andrew Hylton) — Wed, 12 Aug 20 01:46:30 +0000

The answer; make sure that you are using short, appropriate and appealing headlines. Your headlines are what subscribers use to decide if they want to open and read your newsletter.

At Travel Agency Tribes, we pay attention to what is trending in travel news. We keep our headlines as short as possible and incorporate strong words like opportunity or don’t miss out, among others. The human brain sometimes does not want the pressure of having to decide if your newsletter is worth opening. Some people have anxiety when it comes to opening a newsletter or an email from their travel advisor.

Keep your newsletter headlines short, and make them relative. For example, if there is a city, state or town that you get a lot of business from, use that name to get your readers’ attention, but make sure that your content applies especially to people in that area.

Make your newsletter simple and fun. Try the AB testing method to see what works, and use those results to help you to determine what your audience responds to. Then use this information to create newsletters that will convert your increased email or newsletter openings to long-standing customers.

How Travel Agents Can Thrive In Uncertain Times

andrew@travelagencytribes.com (Andrew Hylton) — Wed, 12 Aug 20 01:46:29 +0000

I've personally been making use of this downtime and the summer break to pursue a course called "The 30 days of excellence" with Jesse Itzler, Chad Wright and Mark Brown.

During a Q&A session, someone asked, "how do you deal with uncertainty?". Even though I've heard similar responses to the answer given, there was something different and powerful about hearing it again this time. From the host's response to the question asked, I reminded that in dealing with uncertain times such as the one we are currently in, that we have to double down on what is sure.

The host is sure that when he went to bed the night before, the sun would rise the next morning. He is satisfied that if he did all the things within his control during the day, then he would get to his goals.

When facing uncertainty, you have to pay attention to the things of which you are sure. You can be certain of your effort, your processes and what you do to get to where you are going, you are confident in your state of mind and accept that things will continue to change if you are always doing the right thing.

With uncertainty, you have to leverage and buckle down on what you do not have to second guess. Of course, some people would say that you can control what you can control, and forget about what you can't control.

Right now, we are all in need of a reminder that there are things that we can control, like effort, work ethic, learning, listening and goal setting.

I wanted to take this opportunity to extend this reminder, that when our industry comes back, and this moment is over, the demand is going to be so great - it will hit us. We can't afford to go down into the rabbit hole that is uncertainty.

How Travel Agents Can Get More Leads With TikTok

andrew@travelagencytribes.com (Andrew Hylton) — Wed, 12 Aug 20 01:46:28 +0000

Just the other day, I was asked this question via our chatbot tool, Drift, on our website.

Drift, by the way, I think you should consider adding to your website so that you can communicate quickly with your website's visitors to answer questions while collecting contact information and add people to your database without lifting a finger after completing the setup.

But back to the question, the real question that you have to ask yourself is if TikTok has a lot of attention. Remember that marketing is all about creating awareness and having all eyes on you. Right now, TikTok has a lot of attention, and #travel already has billions of views. So if you want to stand out, put your personality on display, and cultivate a young clientele, you should try TikTok.

Side note: a lot of people have actually told me that young people don't want to make their bookings with travel advisors, but I don't buy totally buy that. I believe that young people want to make use of different services, and like any other demographic, they want to talk to someone face to face and be able to address their concerns with another human being.

Now is the time to join TikTok, and use it to capture the attention of younger people with your engaging personality. TikTok provides you with various tools that you can use to showcase your personality and connect with this demographic.

People don't make travel bookings with just anybody. They make their travel bookings with the people they like and based on the synergy that they have with these people. Young people will work travel advisors who are fun - travel is fun.

Give TikTok a try. Make a few videos, put them out there to get some feedback and see if you like to use that platform. You can also download your videos from TikTok and publish or use them on your website and different social media platforms and use these incorporations to channel followers and subscribers from one platform to another.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving TikTok a shot. If you become the TikTok travel agent viral sensation in your area, then you are guaranteed to get more business. By dedicating yourself and make an effort to play the long game that is social media, you will become that blueberry tomato soup of qualified travel advisors customers are looking for who will help them with their next trip.

Travellers need you to advise them on how they can use the credits that they have and aren't sure about spending, or if they have health issues coupled with insurance-based concerns. As an advisor, young people need your wealth of knowledge for their consultation that all started because they found you on TikTok.

So what are you waiting on? Go ahead and give Tik Tok a shot, and I'll see you over there!
