It’s every agents’ job to be kind to your clients and encourage them to spend.

But what are the best ways to do this? Getting customers to buy you product is the first step. But stopping there is waiting for failure.

The best brands are turning those one-time travellers into brand experts, social influencers, repeat travellers and ultimately brand ambassadors.

Sounds like a pretty important trick of the trade, doesn’t it?

Well, our advice doesn’t stop there! Travel DAZE is the hot new kid on the block – you know, the one every girls wants to date and every guy wants to be? Well, that’s it!

In this event, we’re going to tell you how to sell, why to sell, who to sell to, how to prepare for that terrifying zombia travel apocalypse we keep talking about.

This is serious guys.

So to ramp you up for this incredible event positively overflowing with incredible speakers, we’re giving you a little tidbit of goodness from the sessions you can expect.

Along with ‘How To Make Friends And Influence People’, attendees can expect:

The rise and rise of the millennial traveller

With millennials expected to soon surpass baby boomers in overall travel spending, the best hotels, booking sites and destination marketing organisations (DMOs) are retooling their product, branding, business models and communication methods. We discuss what they should prepare for.

Desperately seek and ye shall find

Metasearch is the biggest battleground in the online travel agency versus travel brands fight for consumer eyeballs and loyalties, and a tool for hotels to compete against other brands at the property level. What’s in store during its next phase?

Instagram strategies for travel brands

Travellers are looking to their social networks for inspiration and recommendations, before, during and after their holidays. User generated content is native to Instagram.

Consequently, it is becoming one of the most effective marketing platforms in the evaluation stage – one step away from the purchase decision.

Told you it was good.
