How to find clients for your Travel Agency standing out from online sites

In the tourism sector, physical agencies have been suffering for years from the fierce competition of "do-it-yourself" booking and large online portals. How do you find new clients for your travel agency without chasing impossible discounts on low-cost flights? To stand out from the web giants, you must focus on high-margin packages (honeymoons, cruises, organized tours) and make people understand the value of your consulting. The best approach is to bring people physically into the agency by showing the true charm of your destinations.

The limit of traditional windows and the web

Filling the window with posters reading "Summer Special at 399€" or publishing simple Facebook posts risks attracting an audience that only looks for the lowest price and will ultimately book online themselves. A client only interested in a discount will hardly appreciate the value of a custom-built itinerary or the peace of mind of stress-free travel. The goal of your agency is to build loyalty among local clients who want to experience a perfect trip, relying on your professionalism.

The Adprodex model: Gamification for Travel Agencies

To get noticed and enhance your packages, Adprodex allows you to leverage the Tyche App and geolocated Gamification. Instead of offering small, invisible discounts in the sea of the web, put your most attractive prizes up for grabs (e.g. a "Weekend for two in a European Capital" or "A Premium Luggage Set"). At the same time, you show all local users on the App your best packages (e.g. your most beautiful cruises or exclusive tours). The natural desire to win a travel-related prize brings the attention of thousands of residents directly to your brand, with a totally calculated and protected budget.

What your Agency gets

The platform doesn't provide you with useless clicks, but a certified advertising exposure that pushes people to walk through the doors of your agency. Here is the ecosystem in action:

Video Spots viewed at 100% (Total attention flow)

Before being able to try their luck to win your prize, local users watch your agency's video spot for 12 full seconds. Added to this is the reading of the sheet (with a 4-image slider to show the breathtaking landscapes of your packages) and the gaming phase. This guarantees your brand an attention flow of over 45/50 seconds: the ideal time to convey the safety, reliability, and exclusivity of your service.

Tracking physical entries and Consulting (Cross-Selling)

The winning mechanism physically brings the lucky ones inside your agency to collect the voucher or gift. You certify their arrival by entering a secret PIN on their smartphone. When the client is in the agency, happy and excited about the win, you have the opportunity to establish a dialogue: ask about their upcoming travel plans or summer holidays, and propose a consultation for a complete, high-margin package.

Organic Viral Effect in the area

Travel is the experience that people love to share the most. The first instinct of someone who wins a weekend or a luxury travel accessory is to take a photo and post it on their social profiles, tagging your agency. This triggers a genuine and completely free word-of-mouth among their network of local friends and colleagues.

Lead Generation for Trips and Cruises (The Wishlist)

What happens to those who do not win the prize? Users immediately see a Call To Action on their screen to buy the exact product or service they didn't win, but with a dedicated discount (e.g. "Didn't win? Buy the Weekend in Paris right now with a 15% discount"). Furthermore, if they save the vacation package by clicking the "heart" (Wishlist), the system offers them the possibility to request a special quote: only upon their explicit acceptance, we will provide you with a list of real names to invite new travelers to plan their holidays with you.
