Use snow days to your advantage!

Right now a large portion of the country is dealing with blizzards, icy roads and freezing temperatures. Remind your followers that it's 84 degrees in Jamaica today!😆

Now is the time to market your Caribbean escapes, warm weather destinations and beach breaks. Promote your all-inclusive trips, ocean cruises and exotic locales so they have something to think about while they're shoveling snow.

Speaking of fun things to look forward to, this is your friendly reminder that the super early bird pricing for the 2025 Summit in sunny Miami ends January 31.

Marketing Tip Monday:

Engage your followers with stories. Stories highlight the human side of your company and entertain your readers. Consider these two posts:

1. I just sent Dan and Rhonda on a fabulous vacation to Costa Rica!

vs

2. Dan and Rhonda were long overdue for a vacation, so when I recommended Costa Rica, they jumped at the chance! They were celebrating their 20th anniversary and hadn't traveled since their honeymoon. Rhonda has always loved sloths so I arranged for a sunset dinner on the beach and a tour of a sloth sanctuary. Thank you so much Dan and Rhonda for letting ABC Tours bring your dream vacation to life❤

Stories can be inspiring, heartwarming or even funny. Create stories about how your luggage was lost (and found), how a traveler reacted to seeing Mickey Mouse for the first time or how you fulfilled a traveler's wish to see the Eiffel Tower. The key is to tell an entertaining story.

Marketing Tip Monday: Be the Travel Expert

Position yourself as the expert in your niche. Post new discoveries, updates and "insider" information so that your followers turn to you for answers first. Educate your followers about how to maximize their travel. Submit articles to popular travel publications, submit guest posts about your niche on travel blogs. When someone wants information on travel, make sure your company is the first one they think of.
