Branding Yourself

To pull in and communicate to the average potential client they need information that is easy to understand and provides a clear message before they delve deeper into a business relationship with you.

Consistent Marketing

Be sure to take advantage of the social media marketing training Gateway Travel has provided, this will be very beneficial. Come up with a marketing plan you can easily implement and follow. Print off a calendar or pick up a planner at the store and fill it with post you can easily maintain and schedule. Be sure your marketing is personal and relatable so your audience can identify with you and continue to come to you or more information. If you are marketing to retiree's include pictures of a retiree life. If you are working with young families take photos of yourself and your children with relevant travel agent tips and quotes!

Training

When you have identified your brand and narrowed down the destinations you are focusing on never stop learning and ensure you are a destination expert. Don't stop learning. Share all the training you are taking part in with your client base and include photos on your social media pages. Your clients and social media followers will appreciate seeing that their agent takes their profession and duties seriously by investing in themselves and their continual advancement.

Get Out There
