We’ve all heard the slogan, “Relationships sell.” A good business relationship is built upon the foundational notion that both parties fulfill a given role or expectation. Clients seeking a travel agent or consultant expect service. But they also expect to be able to research their trips and then turn to their agent for expert advice.

Studies show that 80 percent of consumers research travel destinations they are interested in online before making a travel decision. What content do you have on your website to help your clients or even potential clients to make an informed travel decision?

More Than A Business Card
At Agent Studio, we believe that every travel agent should have a content-rich website. We don’t mean a business card on the web featuring little more than your agency’s name and phone number. Rather, your Agent Studio website will include viable up-to-date travel, destination and product news.

This the information that interests your customers when they are looking for the expert assistance that only a travel professional can offer and that leverages your expertise, setting you apart from the competition. And ultimately, this is the information that prompts customers to pick up the phone to call you and book their trip with you.

At Agent Studio, we help travel agencies cement their connections with both potential and existing clients by providing expert travel information in the form of destination guides and travel news features that are available on every website within our platform.

Many travel agents also choose to take advantage of the Agent Studio blog feature with a blog that features their own unique content and expert advice. This is another great way to position yourself as the travel expert and keep your clients coming back for more. Within the Agent Studio platform, blogs can seamlessly be integrated depending on the package that you choose.

Studies have shown that customers want and utilize travel and destination content when making their travel decisions. Are you fulfilling your end of the relationship by providing this dynamic content on your website?

Content Automatically Updates
At Agent Studio we give agents the tools to take their business to the next level. All Agent Studio-powered websites feature an array of travel content that is automatically updated every day, giving your clients reasons to visit your website often! After all, you want your clients to keep you at the forefront of their thoughts when it comes to planning their next vacation. What can you do as an agent to help your clients keep you in mind?

It’s simple, keep in touch! It’s nearly impossible to keep the fire burning in a relationship when you never make contact with your clients. Successful travel agents don’t just sit back and wait for clients to come to them. They pick up the phone, send emails and write letters to stay in touch with their clients.

A New Marketing Center
At Agent Studio, we talk to and work with thousands of travel agents and are well versed in the challenges that many home-based agents face. We realize that for many picking up the phone to call each and every client on a regular basis isn’t feasible.

Soon, Agent Studio will be launching an entire marketing center designed to help agents stay in touch with their clients and grow their business. Agents will be able to log into their Agent Studio website and send a newsletter to their entire client database with a few clicks of the mouse.

At Agent Studio we strive to help travel agents grow their businesses. With options ranging from a free website to a site that costs the equivalent of the price of a cup of coffee a day, your agency can put its best foot forward on the web and fulfill your clients’ wants and needs for pertinent, expert, up-to-date travel information and best deals.
