According to a recent Nielsen report, 92% of consumers believe suggestions from friends and family more than advertising. And Semrush Research found that word-of-mouth is even more effective than paid ads, resulting in five times more sales. These stats are important to consider when thinking of ways to build your own travel businesses.
Interacting with current clients is key to staying top-of-mind and gaining those word-of-mouth referrals. One way to do that is to maintain a social media presence devoted solely to your Levarté Travel business. Post regularly with promotions or trip ideas, making sure to leverage your knowledge about your own favorite destinations.
Another great way to communicate with both current and potential clients is through a monthly email. Share details about your own travel, spotlighting different destinations and excursions. As a Levarté Travel Advisor, you have access to Levarté Travel’s customizable CRM tool, which lets you send emails to your list with just a few clicks.
Founder and CEO Lori Speers encourages Travel Advisors to share conferences or training trips to show clients you invest your time and energy in knowing the very latest to benefit your clients.
