If you made smarter use of your email list, would you sell more trips? Sheila Scarborough believes you would. A travel journalist turned tourism marketing consultant, she has helped dozens of organizations hone their marketing strategies. And in the age of social media, she’s still a big believer in old-fashioned email. Sheila joins this episode of the podcast to share how travel entrepreneurs can use email to build a reliable marketing strategy when social stops working. She gives some practical advice on what your email campaigns should look like and gives an inside look at her list-building program. Plus, we have news about a proposed rule that would require international visitors to submit their social media history to U.S. customs officials… and a Hot Minute about why this is a terrible idea. Insights from Sheila Scarborough Sheila had lots of real-world tips about how travel sellers can create email campaigns that nurture profitable relationships with their audience. Here's what she had to say about how to build a solid email list, even if you’re starting small: “You need to make it stupid easy and worth their while to subscribe to your newsletter. So for starters, the sign-up box needs to be on every page of your website. There needs to be a call to action at the bottom of every single blog post. “You’ll also have a landing page set up that is specifically on your website for email subscriptions. And that’s going to be the URL you are going to share out regularly on social. “Explain why it’s valuable. Explain the periodicity. Make it stupid easy to sign up because it’s everywhere they go on your website, at the bottom of every blog post.” Plus, she had great perspectives on: Why the “sales funnel” doesn’t work What kind of email content your audience really wants Which email metrics you should be tracking Resources Mentioned in This Episode Learn more about Tourism Currents at tourismcurrents.com.

Mandy and Jenny discuss plans for the FAMS and the revolution about to take place with the emergence of grandmothers in every space.

Are you dating? Do you have more than one sexual partner? Are you not sure if your partner is telling you the truth about their sexual health and activity? What if there was a way for you to take control of your sexual health anonymously? In this episode, Kevin Anthony talks with Dr. Yudara Kularathne, MD, FAMS, about the current STI epidemic sweeping major cities, what is causing it, how to avoid getting an STI, what can be done if you do get an STI, and how his company is helping people get the information they need to make responsible decisions about their sexual health discretely and from anywhere. His story about a friend's attempted suicide due to a self-misdiagnosis of an STI underscores the importance of getting this information out.

In episode 147 Steph co-hosts with Lori Speers of Levarte Travel. Here's a quick look at the three questions they cover this week. 1. I found a host agency which fits with my requirements but they don't have any reviews on host agency reviews. Is it okay or not to work with host agencies without any reviews on their profile? --Meseret G. 2. Is there an advantage to working with a host agency that has a storefront? Could you also please explain what the “Host Type” is on the HAR profiles. What is “Host Only” and what is “Hybrid (Host & Travel Agency)”? It's my understanding that all host agencies are travel agencies. --Anonymous 3. Before I get started with my confusion I would like to tell you what an amazing job you and your team do!!! So thank you! (Aw, thank you!) I love organizing experiences and adventures. This is where I'm stuck at a crossroads; I want to start working and become more knowledgeable in the industry by working at a host agency, but I'm not quite ready to leap out on my own yet. I'm not sure which host would be the best fit for me as someone that has never done this before and would love to start this new adventure. - Stephanie U.

Ever wondered what goes into planning FAM trips? These familiarization trips allow travel advisors to experience destinations firsthand, build relationships with suppliers, and gain valuable knowledge to better serve their clients. However, the planning and execution of a FAM is often underestimated, and there are certain do's and don'ts that advisors should be aware of to ensure a successful experience. In this episode, Tara D'Agostino & Jamie Jackson of WanderLuxe Destinations discuss the labor-intensive process of planning and executing FAMs, the importance of building relationships with partners, and the expectations and etiquette for advisors attending the FAMs. Tara and Jamie share insights on how they select advisors for each trip, the costs involved, and the significance of respect and engagement during site visits. About Tara D'Agostino: Tara, Owner and Managing Director of WanderLuxe Destinations, began her professional career in luxury travel after deciding to transition from the non-profit world where Tara worked for the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, liaising between Seton Hall University and the State of NJ. While travel has always been Tara's passion, she came to a crossroads where she decided to transition her passion into a career and became a Luxury Travel Advisor with Travelong of Summit in Summit, NJ. As she quickly adapted to the business and her client base grew, Tara was offered a Sales Manager position with Wegner Associates, and began juggling both sides of the trade until fully immersing herself into representation; something she quickly fell in love with! Wendy Wegner and Tara began discussing the succession and future of Wegner Associates, and in March of 2019, Tara acquired ownership, rebranded the company and launched WanderLuxe Destinations on July 1st of 2019. About Jamie Jackson: Jamie was born and raised in Bucks County, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia), but knew she would end up in the South. She earned her BA from Elon University in North Carolina where she spent a winter term in Greece and semester abroad in London. Jamie and her husband spent 6 years in Palm Beach County, FL before settling in Charleston, SC where they reside with their two boys. Jamie has a passion for enhancing relationships between advisors, suppliers, and consortia to strategically improve and grow the business for all parties through education and resource development. She believes that travel enables collaboration, innovation, education, and celebration. wanderluxedestinations.com hi@wanderluxedestinations.com Today we will cover: (03:00) The background of Wanderlux Destinations (11:05) Advice for new advisors investing in FAMs (13:05) Planning and coordination of FAMs (15:35) Factors considered when selecting advisors (20:25) Setting expectations and FAM code of conduct (25:15) Labor costs and expenses associated with organizing FAM trips (26:35) Showing respect and being professional (34:20) The high energy spend and empathy required (40:50) The financial investment and costs involved (44:00) The impact of cancellations and non-refundable fees (45:05) Additional cost of tipping and how to financially prepare for a FAM (49:05) Do's and don'ts of site visits (53:25) Supplier's perspective on the cost and investment of hosting FAM trips Listen to Episode 3 - Preparing To Go OOO?

   You and I have real frustrations with the direction of America and the political change that threatens the Constitution.  But after watching Gold Star families talk about the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, it's obvious our frustrations pale in comparison.  Wait until you hear one father from Missouri on Capitol Hill yesterday.     A group that studies elections says two former swing states are out of play in 2024 and are now both solidly red and it won't change.    The Chiefs keep seven wide receiver for two very good reasons.  I'll let you know why I think they did something they haven't done before.    Mizzou starts first Thursday night as college football is ready to rock.    And www.heroesamonguskc.org does wonderful work with veterans and their families in the midwest and they could use a little of your help either playing in their charity golf tourney on 9/11 or making a donation at their site.  Daryl Miser spends a few minutes discussing what they do and you'll find it heartwarming.
