Great content for your audience:

Quality content on your website not only attracts a lot of visitors to the website but it also helps in enhancing your SEO.

Therefore write only what you can offer. For suggestions you can use online data, know about what is in trend, people choose destinations according to weather, so timely update the content accordingly. Also, make it real, don’t just fill the pages with mere words. Right the true stories, the real experiences, and it will surely draw a lot of attention!

Good looks- Attracts Eyes

The same as content goes for websites. Good web design can attract a thousand eyes. A finely designed website works as a mute advertiser which silently exhibits to the users what you have got to offer them.
Suppose you have put great content, applied a great strategy, strategic campaigns but what if your website has poor designing, trust me it will not work the way you have planned.

A simple mistake can cost you a lot. Despite putting great things on the website, you will gain no customers with a poorly designed website. Talk to your designers and developers, tell them how you want the website look like so that it can look attractive and hold the visitors’ eyes. Color combination also plays a major role, as they depict emotions. Your designer should know how to play with them.

How are Your Social Media Pages Doing?

The best way to let people know what current trips you are conducting is through your social media pages. Facebook, Youtube, and now Instagram have made it so easy to reach a huge crowd with just one post. Your travel agency’s social media account should be active with new posts and information regularly.

Post relevant content, story highlights with amazing pictures of a trip, destination pictures will allure the travel enthusiast. You can post beautiful pictures with a caption that makes a person feel to pack their bags and go on a trip. Add small videos highlighting the fun activities of a holiday destination. Post about your upcoming trips. Provide some offers and discounts timely.

Another advantage of social media is that you can hear from your audience, ask them what they want, get their feedback, because the more you get engaged with your audience the more they rely on your brand. This is how relationships can be strengthened with the audience.

Loyalty Programs Are a Must

For those you have not heard it before, the Loyalty Program is a strategy to encourage the customers of a brand to continue their purchase or use of service. You can offer special discount coupons or some free merchandise to your old customers. Generally, a user registers their basic information with a travel company, and they are provided with a unique identifier, by which they can make their purchasing(traveling). A company can use this information to reach them again, offering some interesting offers which they can’t ignore. It is the easiest way to allure your travel enthusiast customers.

Email Marketing:

You already have the email address of your old clients in your database. Use them wisely because the email client conversion rate is higher than search and social media posts.

What you can do is add a subscription form on your website. When the website visitors subscribe to your newsletter, you will get their email address and hence you can provide them with useful information regarding your upcoming services, offers, etc. Upcoming trips or events news offers, and coupons can be published. Sometimes you can publish news-letters giving detailed tourism package.

Do not spam the customer’s email box. There is a high probability that they will unsubscribe to your service. People subscribed to know about useful things. Therefore share only attractive offers and alluring traveling destinations. You can also set up automated replies on emails based on interactions, it is helpful for both the parties.
