How To Find Clients As A Home-Based Travel Agent?

How To Find Clients As A Home-Based Travel Agent? // I’ve been in the travel business for over 25 years, and I have got to tell you: it has never been easier to inform potential clients of why they should use your particular travel agency.

In the old days, you would get clients by word of mouth, print 📰 advertisements, signs, and even… heaven help me… cold 📞 calls. It’s a wonder any travel agency ever got any clients.

But now, just look at the avenues of communication you have access to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok… the list seems endless. And if you actually know how to use social media to grow your travel agency, you can promote your agency to millions of potential clients all over the 🌎 world.

So where do you start? Do you have to pay for advertising? Can you use the same material on multiple platforms? Are there certain platforms that are more likely to grow your travel agency than others? How do you prioritize these platforms? Can you use social media to grow your travel agency even if you aren’t particularly social media savvy in your personal life? 🤔

Here’s the best thing I can tell you right off the bat. If you want to use social media, don’t just jump into the deep end head first. You should have a plan. A true social media strategy for growing your travel agency.

Ciao from Rome. I'm a travel specialist (10 years in the industry) living here in Rome and my company closed when Covid hit. Can I be travel agent listed in US? I can arrange any tour service anywhere in Italy.

[deanbarbosa]

New! I just started my travel business. Im a little nervous about getting established/finding new customers.

[jessicabrown]

I'm new. My number for leads is 0. I love your videos but I was wondering if you can go into more detail of showing us how to get leads. You are always talking about both of your company's and I do understand you trying to make money but for the ones that can't afford your class would it be possible to show everyone how you do facebook leads, and other leads as a freebie?

New! I love cruising and have cruised approximately 20+ times. I have been approached to become a travel agent on a part time basis. I’m 56 and looking for new job opportunities for when I retire. I accepted the job. I’m am still doing the certification programs for Royal and Norwegian and need to jump on Disney in January. But while this is going on I also want to work on how to get clients. What worries me is I have put together all my cruise vacations and I’m nervous doing this for other people. Any comments are welcome. Keep in mind I also have a full time job which is wearing me down but like anything else I need to stay full time for benefits.

[Sheiksweetretreats]

Good day,
I’m extremely new to the travel agent world and to your page, but I already love it here! I have a very quick question, I think. Is there a way to market to a few different audiences. For instance, trying to get cruise clients, Disney/families, and LUXE travel? Your help is much appreciated ❤

[TucsonArizona]

We’ve been thinking about doing something like this. Thanks for posting great info! Will be following!
