Episode 169

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 42:47

Send Rita a text with your thoughts!

A recent article by Travel Age West mentioned that social media is now the top marketing channel for travel advisors and it had me a little skeptical. I'm sharing my thoughts on the article and some of the other surprising stats they recorded.

In this episode, I share:

· How you need more than just social media content to be successful as a travel advisor

· The importance of growing your network for potential partnership and collaboration opportunities

· Why certain metrics don't count

· and so much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

Wednesday, June 8, 2022 • Duration 27:04

Send Rita a text with your thoughts!

As we head into the summer season, it's typically a slower season in terms of garnering new business. Knowing this, what can we do to still stand out when many are taking both physical and mental breaks? I'm turning to something that not many business owners are utilizing and that's the offline marketing tactic of direct mail.

In this episode, I focus on:

The three main types of direct mail methods
How I utilize an automated direct mail system
The easiest direct mail campaign to start right now
and more!
