I want to get sent information about opening a travel businessAlready registered with us?
When you start a business, customers are its lifeblood.
One of the first questions we believe you should ask us is:
Will I be able to find customers?
Our sincere belief is YES! That’s because we’ve taught over 750 other people as they’ve come through our business to do just that.
You’ll get a full program of activities to undertake that tell you EXACTLY what to do and when to do it.
When you first start your new business, word-of-mouth and getting your first bookings done are vital. So who’s going to book with you?
The answer is: People who already know, like & trust you.
Over the course of your life you’ve probably met thousands of people.
You only need a few of them to try your new service to get the ball rolling.
Once you start getting repeat bookings and referrals, that’s when things can really take off.
Please don’t think that this will be as easy as doing some Facebook posts and then people will rush to book with you.
You need to use digital and social media both strategically and tactically in order to make it work effectively for you.
We hold regular training on exactly what to do and how to do it. It’s step-by-step help so that you never feel overwhelmed.
A great place to get leads is structured networking events. We’ll teach exactly what to say to be able to get the most of these events, even if you’ve never done that sort of thing.
We’ll also teach you how to make the most of things like wedding fairs (where you can book not just the wedding, but the hen & stag do and the honeymoon too). And don’t forget you can then book all their family holidays too.
Take a look at Sarah Watts’ five favourite bookings with a Mamma Mia style wedding included below.
Very simply put, Partners In Travel is our exclusive referral programme. It enables others to make money or save money by simply referring a traveller to you as a Not Just Travel consultant.
A Partner can be anyone who has a group of people or network they know that go away on holiday… which is pretty much everyone!
Examples of Partners include: Local & national businesses, schools, charities, sports clubs, brownies groups, places of worship and more.
Once they are signed up, your Partner then promotes you to the people they know. The idea is that, instead of you having to spend lots of time and effort finding customers 1:1, you can build the relationship with a few Partners, who introduce & market you to their whole network.
The make money side is where the Partner earns a share of the commission from the sale of the holiday in return for finding you the customer. The commission amount varies, depending on the type of Partner package they have signed up for.
The save money option is where a company signs up and then all their staff can get a discount on their own personal bookings.
This effectively creates a perk/staff benefit for their team members.
When you first get going, word-of-mouth and people you know are going to be your fastest and most successful ways of marketing.
You really don’t need to spend money advertising or marketing yourself beyond this.
That’s because you’ll be a Personal Travel Consultant. It’s the personal touch that matters the most.
When you’re ready to grow, you’ll get all the marketing help you need.
As you grow your business, we’ll be there to give you all the help you need.
Here are just some of the ways we support you:
Your Personal Marketing Website is a great way to promote yourself. You can give out the address to everyone you meet and it’s search engine friendly.
Our expert travel writers also create regular blog posts, full of ideas and inspiration for your customers. Of course, we encourage you to write your own content and updates if you’re happy to get involved.
Our in-house design team will provide a constant stream of graphics you can use to promote your business on Facebook. You also get pre-written posts that you can simply copy & paste.
We’ll help keep customers up-to-date with the latest and best offers with a direct-mail shot.
Imagine how long you’d spend writing, designing and posting hundreds of copies of something like this, let alone getting the offers organised in the first place!
Relax, we’ve got it covered.
Despite the importance of digital marketing, the process of choosing a holiday is still a very emotive one. Magazines play a physical part in inspiring holidaymakers. For the time they are reading this magazine, you’ll capture their full attention.
This magazine gets personalised with the consultant’s name and contact details, keeping you front of mind when they’re dreaming of their next holiday.
Despite being high quality, we’ve made sure it’s printed on 100% recycled material and is 100% recyclable itself.
We continually invest in the Not Just Travel brand so that everyone can benefit. You can use videos like this one below that show why your friends, family and others should choose you as a personal travel consultant.
