How To Market To A Broader Audience

As a Travel agent, one would rather sell one on one with a "qualified client" however, this is not always practical and, does not allow you the chance to prospect. Additionally pitching to a broader audience opens the doors for more potential leads. You may want to consider Direct Mail Marketing, also known as Direct-response marketing it is one of the most effective ways to solicit existing and potential clients. Direct communication can be as simple as mailing a postcard or as elaborate as a mailing package.

Below are the statistics from the U.S Postal Service

• 55% Look forward for their mail
• 56% of adults say that receiving mail is a pleasure
• 67% Feels as though mail is still more personal than the Internet.
• 98% of Consumers bring in their mail, the day its delivered.
• 77% Sort through their mail immediately

Compared to other Media, Mail connects to the individual on a personal level

• Mail gets your message in your clients hands
• Mail takes you to the person in charge
• Mail boast a loyal readership
• Useful mail performs distinct tasks

On any given day, our clients can take their business else where. You want to stand out above the rest, and market differently. Direct Mail will help you communicate effectively and retain your clients. Use a database/Customer Relationship Manager such as TRAMS Client Base. This will allow you to collect valuable information about your clients. You can also use the data to target or segment your mailings. Database Marketing will save you money and boost your results. You can match your clients based on age, destination, income etc. Most suppliers offer significant resources to assist your promotions including Collateral Customizer and Reprinted material.

Below are examples of Direct Mail Communication

• Postcards- quick, enticing way to get the phone to ring
• Endorsement letter with brochure- If written well, can be very effective
• Shells: Great for specific information, allows for customization
• Supplier brochures, letterheads etc. (not as personal)
• Newsletter-Should be considered as regular communication
• Fliers- Quick, and easy (not as effective)

Consider mail that you receive. If it does not catch your interest, most likely its tossed in the wastebasket. If its intriguing, or personal you open it quickly. Most suppliers/vendors offer customizers. You can design, print, redistribute most of your Direct Marketing Mail with ready made templates. Some are free, others may charge a small fee.

If you decide to use Direct Mail, keep these four core objectives in mind

1. Personalize to "get it opened"
2. Attract their interest with a bold message..."to get it read"
3. Keep the message clear..."to make it understood"
4. Use a clear call to action..."to drive the client to you"

Accomplishing, these goals is the essence of successful direct-response marketing.

Analyze your Promotion. Make a record of your mailing details

• Mailing and Production cost
• Promotion Profits
• Number of pieces mailed
• Client list selection criteria

This information will help you compute the Return On Investment (ROI). Your promotion profit divided by promotion cost. The higher the ROI, the more effective your promotion was. It helps you determine what you learned so that you can apply it to your future mailings.

Tips:

• Direct your letter to the woman of the household. Women mainly makes the vacation decisions.
• First class mailings, stagger mail over several days to handle the responses promptly.
• Best times to promote depends on destination (Contact District Sales Manager of the supplier/vendor for further assistance)

Should Leaders Follow on Twitter?

Twitter has become the fastest phenomenon on the Internet. Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?


My friend, sent me a message through Twitter. She suggested that, I should not follow everyone that's following me. She implied, "you do not appear to be a leader. "


Well, you decide if you want to appear to be a leader or lead. If you are in Network Marketing, Internet Marketing, Direct Sales or any field that involves recruiting, hiring, prospecting, or sales, you should follow your followers.


What are the advantages of following? You learn what your prospect/customer is thinking. You learn their hobbies, if they are married, have children. You learn what they do for a living. You learn their likes, and dislikes. They will tell you, what they need through tweetering. Do not think that, you will not learn from your followers. To think such thing, is the same as saying, you can't learn anything from a poor man.


You can use Twitter for marketing. What if your follower express a need, or have a question. You may be able to help them through giving them ideas, or pointing them in the right direction. What if you want to come up with a product launch, or new ideas for your business? Your Followers will tell you whats their need or wants.


When you are tweetering, make sure you are having fun. Although, you may work at home or have your own business try to talk about other things that you do. You can share where you traveling too, what you are eating for dinner, if you workout, or what books you like to read. Try not to be all about business, and show that you "take time to smell the roses".


Make sure that whenever you are tweetering, that it appears in the question "What are you doing?" Eg: "I am reading Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. Viewing this website http://www.easy6k.com, learning how to make $6,000 guaranteed! Giving away 3 Days, 2 Nights Hotel Accommodations www.wealthwithme.com or reading a testimonial about people who lost 7lbs within their first week!" www.ximohealth.com/stl



I find Twitter to be a great relationship building tool. You meet people worldwide, you learn what their life is like. It's as though you are traveling around the world.


Finally, If you are tweetering you may find that you and your follower have a common interest. He/she may want to connect with you outside of Twitter, they may know someone that can use your services or products. Lastly, you make new friends, customers, or business partners. Have fun tweetering!


What are your thoughts? What are the disadvantages of following your followers on Twitter?

Without a HBB - You Are Overpaying Your Taxes

Young and the middle-aged alike are realizing that their dreams of "having a job with a company forever" is an illusion. Companies have been downsizing, rightsizing and capsizing for some time now, and they continue to do so-more now than ever before. Even the federal and state governments are getting into the act with layoff's and attrition management of jobs. In addition to all this uncertainty and mutual lack of loyalty between companies and employees, even the workers who do keep their jobs have no guarantee of promotions due to the shrinking number of management positions.

If all this isn't bad enough, under recent tax laws employees are limited more than ever with limits and thresholds for their employee deductions and higher social security limits. The result is more couples working harder than ever before and, on many occasions, working more than one job. It is now almost impossible to have only one job in the family and live the standard of life called survival without the need for these additional incomes.There are many reasons why so many people favor Home Based Business (HBB) over the traditional business.

• There is no commute (unless of course you have a really big home and your office is some 45 seconds away from your bedroom),
  
• no boss, little if any chance of lawsuits, much lower overhead, no employees (or very few), and far fewer government restrictions.

In fact, many of the laws within traditional business don't apply to small firms with few or no employees. It is for these reasons, that 95% of home-based businesses succeed in their first year and achieve an average income of $50k per year with many earning much more.

There are two sets of tax laws in this country.

• One is for employees, and it allows deductions for individual retirement accounts, 401k (s), interest and property taxes on your home and charity.
• Then there are the laws for home-based business owners who conduct their business either full time or part-time.

With proper documentation, HBB owner can deduct expenses from, their house, their spouse, and even children (by hiring them), their business vacations, their cars, and their food for colleagues. They can also set up a pension plan that makes any government plan seem worthless by comparison.

There are two types of people in this world.

• Uninformed - They are not aware of the tax savings with having a HBB - It is our responsibility, to help them become Informed
• Informed - They realize that having a HBB is the last tax shelter, they are not "overpaying on their taxes"

Example:

Lisa earned $15,000 in salary as an employee, but took home only $10,500. She could have netted the entire $15,000 had she earned it in a home-based business! This is an increase of almost 30% of her take-home pay as an employee. Note that Lisa is not spending dramatically more money than she is currently spending. She would eat out anyway, go on trips and drive her car the same as before. By having a home-based business however, many of her expenses become tax deductible. This concept is known as "redirecting expenses". With a legitimate HBB, she can now deduct some of the expenses that she is occurring anyway in day to day life.
In addition to all the benefits mentioned above, Congress will subsidize you while you are growing your HBB.

If your home-based business produces a tax loss in the first year or so, you can use that tax loss against any other income you may have. It can be used against wages earned as an employee, dividends, pensions, or interest income or you can use the loss against your spouse's earnings if you file a joint return. If the tax loss exceeds all your income for this year, no problem. You can carry back the loss two years and get a refund from the IRS for up to the last two years of income tax paid, or you can carry over the loss twenty years. You are reading this right, you can off-set up to 20 years of income!

Research has constantly shown that it is rarely the business that determines success or failure. It is usually the business owner. Why does one person succeed and another one fail at the same business? Easy, two simple words, KNOWLEDGE and ACTION. Some people want the benefits of having and running their own business, but they don't take action. The result is that the business fails. Duplicating the strategy and practices of others is a much quicker and effective method of bringing success to this new venture of yours. It is known as Network Marketing, or Modeling.

Network Marketing is simply learning what other successful people have done to achieve success in a specific area of expertise, and then by doing the same thing. With Network Marketing, or modeling, you literally leverage your own learning time, with the collective years of learning - through the experience of your upline, Power Team Leader, or Sponsor. Modeling the success of others saves both time and money and reduces frustration and stress.
Starting your own business is the light at the end of the tunnel, for you and millions of people today. If you have a HBB make sure you are enjoying the main financial advantages. You are the Informed, you made a smart decision. The tax advantages alone can make a home-based business the single best financial move you could ever have made. If you are not a HBB owner Welcome to my Travel Business your complementary decision to your home-based business.

Get a Millionaire Mindset- Improve Tax Awareness

Sometimes, individuals think that doing their own taxes will save them
money. In some cases, they might be right. However, in other cases it may actually end up costing them money because they fail to take advantage of the many deductions available to them.Try to become more educated as far as what types of items are deductible. You should also understand when it makes sense to move away from the standard deduction and start itemizing your return. However, if you're not willing or able to become very well educated filing your own income tax, it may actually pay to hire some help, particularly if you are self employed, own a business or have other circumstances that complicate your tax return.

by Glenn Curtis
