So instead of sending endless emails and waiting for customers to visit my website, I installed a tool known as TripBlip™. I’m a beta tester for this product and I think, for the customer, it is a great tool as well.
TripBlip™ empowers the customer to take control of the message and shape it to fit his/her needs. TripBlip™ enables the user to create up to three different trip profiles and when a vacation comes along that matches the profile, TripBlip ™ notifies the customer with a discreet message next to the TripBlip™ icon. The customer can look now or later or not at all. Offers can be deleted from the current page and will remain in a history area for a while and eventually will disappear.
It is easy to use, easy to download and, best of all, the customer decides what to receive. Instead of endlessly searching through weekly emails and travel websites, set the parameters and receive the offers that are of interest.
What I have found so far is that when one of my customers receives a Blip, the customer realizes that it is from me, can read through it and discuss it with me in person, by telephone or by email. I’ve had some consumer sign ups from people who I don’t know and they, too, are accessing offers and contacting my office by email.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
