Although my company IS Deeply Involved in the design and sales of Travel Related Incentives and Rewards, first and foremost, we are a travel agency. Everything we do here is for the purpose of travel Gaining access to Customers.
Travel Agencies Have Been Through Some pretty big change over the years starting with the airlines Deciding That We Did not deserve a commission for our services anymore. That snowballed out of Many Other travel-through service providers as the Internet access Opened up-to-many travel sources of the Same That we call travel agencies Used To Our Own.
Today, earning a commission INSTEAD OF Simply by booking reservations for Their clients must travel agencies specialize in Areas Where Can Guarantee THEY travel service providers a large number of travelers. This allow the agency to Negotiate rates below What is available to the consumer directly. So, the travel agency of this new era Is Now working for the travel services provider INSTEAD of the traveler. To make the new concept work, agencies are Always looking for favorable pricing on the MOST desirable kinds of travel and then struggle to find the 1000′s of travelers’ THEY Need So They Can Keep Their contracts.
I Developed my business model a number of years ago Began Before the commission crunch and unknowingly got a jump on the trend. I Decided to try and market travel packages Through the Human Resource departments of large companies. I put together cruise packages based on favorable rates, and II was getting from A Few cruise lines sailing out of Florida. I discount packages thesis Offered to Employees Benefit as a company. The companies loved it and quite Were Willing to put my flyers in Their employee’s pay envelopes EACH week. That Was Almost 20 years ago and I still Have That A Few companies still use my original program today.
Getting really low rates on the MOST desirable type of travel is great goal getting it for free IS Even Better! While MOST Agencies Were desperately looking for more travelers, I Knew If I Could Provide the travel services for little or nothing, this Would Never Be a problem for me. I just HAD to figure out how i could get to pay all Someone else or at least Some of the Travel Expenses.
Living in Florida I Watched Being built as condominiums Were One After The Other from one coast to the Other and all points in between. Were thesis time share condo Developments and They Were Some of the nicest resorts Florida That Had to offer. THEY HAD a lot of empty suites week After week and They Were looking for travelers too. I made a few calls and soon After I Had arrangements with Dozens of resorts That Would give me access to accommodations Their Simply To Have the Opportunity to show around in my travelers’ Hopes Would THEY buy. All I needed now Was a cost effective way to let people Know What I Had to offer.
It Was not just me looking for Customers That Was, That Was everyone in WAS Any kind of business looking for Customers. I got together with A Few marketing managers and Proposed I Knew That we work together. If They Would cover the cost of the fees, I Could Give Them a travel certificate That in turn THEY Could Give to Their Customers in Their reward for business. It Was not Long Before I HAD SEVERAL Business Owners Who Were Promoting my travel packages by travel Purchasing certificates from me and then Giving them out to all Their Customers. It Was the perfect idea: Travelers got to go to great places Almost for free, my business associates got terrific sales incentives at a great price and I got plenty of travelers to Fulfill my contracts with all my prepaid fees!
Since then I’ve designed 100′s of travel certificate programs. The scope of IS EACH program Primarily based on the Amount of money the business wants to pay per Towards the certificate fees. The Travelers Makes up the goal difference Stiller Has access to Deeply discounted travel services THEY That Would not Be Able To Get Elsewhere.
