Welcome to the second of our unofficial 2-part holiday series! Last week we focused on increasing your travel business sales with Black Friday promotions. This week we're getting creative with out-of-the-box engagement strategies that incorporate either 12 Days of Christmas, an Advent Calendar, or your preferred modification for either/or.

The goal is to get people closer to working with you as their travel professional by building up your authority in your travel specialty. Remember to let me know how you will adapt these strategies to your own travel business :)

In this episode, I share:

· Holiday marketing strategies that focus on community building

· Interactive elements you can add to your Advent Calendar

· Execution tips and insights to help no matter which campaign you choose to move forward with

· and so much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!
