More and more brides are using Twitter and Facebook to gain tips on planning their weddings and honeymoons. And both sites also provide a common platform and open marketplace for discussion between agents and peers in the industry.
With everyone as well as their mothers being on Facebook and Twitter, it is easy for travel agents to get lost in the shuffle. When using these sites to promote business, it is important to establish a recognizable identity and stand out from the rest. Fortunately, Facebook and Twitter make it easy to brand yourself and get noticed.
“People need to get to know and trust you before they feel comfortable doing business with you,” says Muriel MacRae of Del Sol Travel. “Marketing on Facebook and Twitter can help you increase your brand recognition, generate sales and increase interest in your company or products.”
But the sites allow you to do more than just that. Sure, you can advertise who you are and what you do. But what makes you the go-to person for destination weddings and honeymoons? Why are you the agent to be trusted?
