You have the option to offer the following REWARD's: Consumer Leads, Cash or Points.
Consumer Leads Reward: Rewards can be Consumer Leads via our simple lead-generation plug-in that sends your consumer leads from your website and partner websites directly to advisors who have a “Pending Lead Reward”.
These are leads that are NOT INTERESTED in booking now and require a Specialist to help book their travel plans at a later date. Send your travel advisor contacts a lead, let the Specialist chase it & close it for you!
Advisors report sales for more Leads.
You can easily place the “Lead Widget” short code on media sites that build specific pages for your campaign. This is HUGE as your consumer marketing can deliver Leads to your travel advisors!
Consumer Lead Widget
Cash Reward: If you choose to reward travel advisors with cash, this is rewarded weekly via an automated PayPal payment interface. Cost to fulfill the reward averages at $0.75, far less than a gift card by mail. Plus, it’s almost immediate, improving travel advisor engagement.
Points Reward: Rewards can be POINTS that can be redeemed for merchandise you have on hand. Physical products require a fulfillment center to have your products shipped.
Merchandise can also be Hotel FAM accommodations as well.
Each Item (physical or accommodations) has a designated “Fulfillment Partner” who will receive the redemption request and can fulfill it directly without your direction.
Our system easily allows you to create product and manages the units available. Easily enter content, images are automatically sized, and layout is automatically set.
The travel advisor reports sales for more Points.
Rewards can also be combination of Leads and Points.
Travel advisors earn POINTS for reporting confirmed bookings, and one of the REDEMPTION ITEMS is a Consumer LEAD that is priced at a POINT redemption amount.
FAM's!
Let travel advisors experience your product!
FAM Redemption: Travel advisors can also redeem their points to experience YOUR PARTNER HOTELS.
If you do not offer POINTS and rewards with LEADS, we can enable a FAM request option 1x for every 5 (or any #) confirmed bookings.
Each Hotel Partner has their own listing.
Hotel Partners can offer 1 FAM or Multiple FAMs. You want these advisors to experience your product!
Typically, the FAM is 3-4 nights for 2 and black-out dates can apply.
The advisor enters their “Requested Date” and clicks Submit, which sends the request to your designated hotel representative to arrange or offer alternatives.
