New 2011 – The Specialist
The most effective way of selling travel on the internet is to specialise!
Our “Specialist” franchisees benefit from our years of experience in building, optimising and marketing highly specialised travel websites on the internet.
If you want to be an expert in a few, hand-picked, destinations with earnings potential in excess of £50,000 per annum then this is the package for you.
Specialist Destinations
An Explorer specialist destination is an island, a resort, a single hotel or it could be a combination of a destination and an activity. How about butterfly collecting in the Mekong Delta or learning to paraglide in the Southern Alps?
If you do not know what you would like to do we can help. We have a selection of carefully chosen high value, high profit specialist destinations waiting for you to sell.
In addition to selecting two from our list we will also build two of your choice. Your passion might be cycling in Majorca or trekking in the Himalayas. Whatever your passion why not turn it into a business?
Marketing
Marketing your specialist websites could not be easier!
We will set up both a search engine and a social networking campaign for each website. This will include a Google campaign and Facebook and Twitter pages.
We are so confident about the success of your campaigns that we will also contribute up to 50% of the costs of marketing for the first six months*.
Included in your package is 6 months free membership of the BNI (Business Network International). as a member of your local BNI chapter you will also be able to market your travel services within an exclusive geographic area.
In 2010 BNI generated almost 700,000 referrals and £245,000,000 in business for its members. It is a proven model for generating business.
