More on home based travel agencies

I have written before that the idea of a home based travel agency is not at all farfetched. With much of the bookings being done online, all that you have to do is get accredited as a sales agent of a legitimate travel agency and offer excellent travel deals via a website. Marketing can be done through emails to friends. You may also request them to forward your promo announcements to their friends. You may also ask them for referrals. Offline, all you have to do is prepare small mini brochures and fliers and distribute it during your PTA meetings, neighborhood gatherings, etc. The advantage of this kind of business is the low monthly overhead therefore requiring minimal sales volume for the home based entrepreneur. Just like the offline travel agencies, your reputation should develop over time and your clients will increase. Just remember to align yourself with a legit and good travel agency. The rest should follow. Neat isn’t it.

Start a Home Based Travel Agency

The idea of putting up and eventually succeeding in the home based travel agency business is not difficult to imagine. In this day and age where almost everything is done online and via phone, the prospect of this business is very bright.

Having traveled a lot, I realized that I have not been to the office of any travel agent. Inquiries were all done by phone and messengers were the ones who picked or delivered my tickets. Besides, inquiries and ticketing can even be done online. A home based travel agency is therefore a very lucrative idea.

And for as long as one is polite, friendly and accommodating over the phone, online chats and written letters, the first ingredients necessary to succeed are already in place.

Just now, I took the first FREE lesson (all 5 lessons are free) on how to put up a successful travel agency.
