Using Social Media to Market your Travel Agency Effectively

Travel is an important part of people's lives. Travel is a way to unwind, spend quality time with family and friends and just de-stress from work and life's anxieties. An important way that Travel Professionals are reaching people to book travel with them is through Social Media. What are some ways that you as a Travel Professional can use this avenue to book more trips?

Here are some ideas to try.

• Use your blogs effectively.  Do you keep your blog fresh and up to date?  Posting a blog on your site once a week keeps you at the top of people’s minds.  What should you write about?  Well, think from the prospective as not only the travel professional but also from the prospective of a traveler.  What would draw you into a site?  Perhaps tips on family friendly destinations. The more information and tips you can give people the more it will set you up as an expert.

• Use Instagram and Facebook to showcase different travel spots.  What are people looking for?  Engage them in “conversations”.  Ask different questions about what people are wanting.  Is it long trips?  Shorter?  Fly or stay close to home?  Get people involved.  The more social you are the more they are to tune back in and see what other people are doing.  Use great photos and perhaps some videos where you can give ideas and trends in person.

• Website. Make your website easy to navigate and find. Be sure that people who read your blog articles and are looking on your website have all the information that they need about what your have to offer them when it comes to booking their travel arrangements. Also have it set up where if they want to contact you in person they don't loose interest because they cannot find your contact information.
