October is the month when CLIA urges travelers to #ChooseCruise, marking an opportunity for you to piggyback on the promotion. An integrated campaign will be driving awareness on why travelers should consider choosing a cruise vacation, but how will they choose you?

That’s the key question, and one you need to take action on if you want to benefit from the increased awareness that is part of this campaign. First, use the hashtag #ChooseCruise in your social media posts, as many will be searching for that hashtag once they are aware of it. This will help you find new customers, but only if you’re active in sharing relevant content on cruising.

That brings up another point: How do you get relevant content to share? If you own an Agent Studio website, you’ll have dozens of cruise-related articles on your site every single week, which cover the CLIA promotion throughout October, along with general cruise news that happens virtually every day.

It’s the same news that MSN.com pays hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to feature on its site, yet all Agent Studio site owners, for less than a couple of dollars per day, have it on their sites.

In addition to being able to share that content via social media from their sites, Agent Studio site owners also have a Marketing Center that integrates all of that great news and content on their websites.

What does that mean? They can create a weekly “Cruise News of the Week by XYZ Travels” newsletter in minutes, and send it out to their database of clients and prospects. When travelers click, they are driven directly back to agents’ websites and the stories that they wish to read.

It's just one of the many ways in which our company, travAlliancemedia, helps you build your business and make it far more profitable. We do this by leveraging all of our great content, which is created on a daily basis, and making it available to share via the Agent Studio website and marketing platform.

Since it takes only a few minutes to build and launch an Agent Studio website, maybe it’s time you gave it a try. You could be sending out your first cruise newsletter on the same day you build your site.
