Marketing tools and strategy for non-marketers
NEXT STEPS
STEP 1
REVELATION - COMMISSION CALCULATOR
In the travel industry, most businesses are flying blind without clear commission goals, missing out on the roadmap they need to succeed – it's like driving without GPS.
We're here to help you set those targets and reverse engineer your strategy, giving you clarity on client acquisition, email subscribers, and average bookings per client, all customized to your niche and suppliers.
STEP 2
MAP OUT YOUR SALES FUNNEL
Once commission goals are set, it's essential to map out your strategy to reach them, much like needing directions on a GPS to reach your destination.
Without this step, you're essentially engaging in random acts of marketing, hoping something will stick.
This involves creating a detailed marketing and sales plan that outlines the steps needed to achieve your goals.
STEP 3
ORGANIZE AND PLAN YOUR CONTENT
The next crucial step is to develop a content plan.
Every travel business must consistently produce content for three key reasons:
-
To establish themselves as a trustworthy expert in the industry
-
To articulate why travelers should opt to work with a professional rather than booking independently
-
To inspire and educate their audience about destinations and experiences that align with their commission goals.
By strategically crafting content that fulfills these objectives, businesses can effectively engage their audience, build credibility, and drive conversions.
IN PERSON COACHING

Get excited for this event in Amsterdam! It’s not only the perfect bridge linking all your experiences and learnings, but it’s also one of those rare moments when the
Travel Marketing & Media® community comes together in person.
And guess what? Hundreds of us will be there! It’s the ultimate meet-up opportunity.
Plus, you’ll benefit from the stellar, hands-on training (that you’ve come to expect at TMM) in travel marketing and sales conversion.
Prepare to boost your leads and skyrocket your sales!
Seamlessly weave together ship inspections, trade shows, and FAM sailings with a game-changing, high-conversion blueprint.
TWO SESSIONS
PROGRAM
WHAT TO EXPECT
➡️ Identifying potential river cruise clients from your current clientele.

Important Note!
Attendees will receive a digital workbook, tailored for individual travel businesses, two weeks before the event.
Bring your laptop or a tablet equipped with a keyboard to work efficiently through the sessions.
Dress casually and comfortably - sweats and sneakers are more than OK!
ANCHOR YOUR EXPO EXPERIENCE WITH A
HIGH-CONVERTING BLUEPRINT
The Traffic & Conversion Experience is the glue to your entire expo experience!
While ship inspections, personal sailing experiences, FAM trips, and trade shows offer valuable insights and immersive experiences, they won’t inherently bring in new leads. You need a structured plan.
This Travel Marketing & Media ® favorite event is meticulously crafted to complement the expo program. It acts as the cohesive force, synthesizing all your experiences and presenting them within a clear blueprint.
Our primary objective? To empower you with strategies for generating genuine river cruise leads and mastering your marketing efforts.
The endgame is straightforward: fast-track your marketing and sales and wait for the commission checks to roll in.
Bring your passion, and drive, and be ready to dive deep. This is where your transformative journey begins.
