How To Create a Personalized Experience for Your Clients

Our daily routines are digitized in all aspects – from cooking and cleaning to finding the best restaurants and planning vacations. There’s no denying that technology makes life easier, but in the digital age, what value does a travel agent bring that a large OTA doesn’t? Ask yourself this: Why should a client book their travel with you when one click online can plan their next getaway?

Technology can be a travel advisor’s best friend, but clients still want to know that their agent cares about them on a personal level; so how can you devote the time to do so while continuing to juggle all your other tasks? In today’s evolving world, personalization means using technology to offer a much more connected service.

For smaller businesses with a handful of regular clients, personalization can be easy to handle by yourself, but you’ll be spending extra time focusing on each client, and when your customer base grows, it’s next to impossible to offer true personalization without using technology.

If you’re looking for a way to hack your business’ personalization, here are five tech resources offered by Avoya to help you use technology to level up your business while retaining that human touch with your clients.
