Social Media Marketing Tips for Travel Agents
The social media has changed the way business is being done worldwide and the travel industry is among those which have seen its potential. Travel agents all over the world have used websites for their marketing and sales efforts and that way they have the entire globe as their market. After getting a few satisfied customers, a travel agents should try and create forums through which they can freely interact with their customers as well as prospective ones. Your website therefore needs to have social media features as well.
One internet marketing tip travel agents are using is to ask guest and customers to rate hotels, restaurants, attractions and destinations they have visited. Apart from rating you may also want to open a free blog where your customers can share experiences they had through holidays that were booked through your travel company. The social media is one way that you can use your customers to do some marketing for you based on their experience with your services.
Social media on the internet is all about creating good reasons why potential customers should visit your website. There is not better way for a travel agents to leverage on the experiences of others than allowing your customers to post on your website. Even non customers who are allowed to post their experiences on other destinations on your blog will find another reason to come visiting online again and that will be a potential future customer in waiting. Many such customers could create SEO content that will attract search engine spiders.

Re: Kevin needs "social glue" ideas
- Hi,
I like the idea of "10 items that could act as "social glue" because I am an internet marketer. But I agree with the rest that the 10 recent post is nice. Maybe we should open up a new section in the forums on Social Media...or Social Media Marketing.
I will tell you that the world is about 1 1/2 behind when it comes to understanding social media. Building a section now will put EvanCarmichael.com is a great position a year down the road when people realize Social Media can produce more traffic than SEO.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the suggestion. Why don't you start a new post (with a poll) to see if there's enough interest in your idea for a social media section?
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f
- Hi,
Online Marketing would be a great title, and having sub categories would make it even better, there would plenty of categories to choose from, Social Media, SEO, Article Marketing and yes even Affiliate Marketing to name just a few,
great looking site btw Jeff,
take care,
Carol
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f
- Just as an update, Evan has extended the poll's expiration date and says he'd like to see at least 25 "yes" votes before implementing the new category. Moreover, it would probably be called "Online Marketing" instead of Social Media Marketing".
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category?
- Hi Everyone,
2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category.
I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above?
Thanks
