You have your home-based travel business all set up. You have been to CP University and have had the benefits of all the expertise that Corporate Headquarters provides. You now have your own website.
Now it is time to make write about it all. Tell people and potential prospects the news. What news? You may ask. Well, first of all introduce your new website. Then introduce your family and any new employees you may have. Tell people about you, personally and why you decided to get into the Cruise Planning Business. If you are planning a new promotion, talk about it…in a BIG way. Tell everyone about your Corporate Offices Awards. It’s out there and people recognize the BRAND so capitalize on that in your website or newsletter.
Publicize your own wins and lessons. Let people benefit from your knowledge, not only in your business, but in your travels. Let it be contagious! Provide weather information, safety tips, and travel news. For every little tip ‘books’ you write, a reader can ‘book’ a trip!
How successful have your already been in your business? Talk about it…no shout about it…success breeds success.
Drown the doubts of potential purchasers with high-dive incentives...a special rate, an exclusive celebrity on the cruise, a holiday event for the whole family. All of these are newsworthy to promote your business.
