Software for Travel Agents
The home-based travel agent's software needs are pretty basic. In my Home Study Course for Home-Based Travel Agents, I show you how to keep your expenditures to a minimum. However, as your business grows, specialized software can save you tons of time while helping you make lots more money. FREE Business Software. It's DOS & Windows only. It's old. It's from the government. But, hey, it's FREE. And who knows, maybe you'll find something you can really use. Mailloop. Email is the best kept secret in marketing for travel agents. A good email list can translate into a powerful income stream -- IF you know how to automate those tiresome email chores. Mailloop allows you to create unlimited autoresponders, publish your own email newsletter, and keep in contact with thousands of customers. GetResponse. Speaking of autoresponders, here's a cheap way to get the word out about that next cruise or tour you're promoting. Send out a single message or a whole series. This is your best solution for one-time and short-term travel promotions. Completely hands off and you only need to pay for what you use. eBook Pro. If you have a niche specialty as a travel agent (and you should!), you have valuable information that potential customers are eager to read. Writing free ebooks that can be distributed easily over the Internet is a great way to develop leads and explode your income. eBook Pro lets you capture the name and email (plus more info if you ant!) from everyone who reads your ebook. Just think how powerful that is! Desktop Marketer. If you offer regular travel specials to your clients, wouldn't it be great if you could deliver your message instantly, right to their desktop where they can't miss it? Oh yes, and avoid all those nasty spam issues while you're at it?
