Hi

I've got 3 goodies for you today!

1. Email Templates for Club Med and Simpson Travel
2. how to make a supplier quote more in keeping with your brand ( AKA stop retyping quotes and make use of what suppliers have sent you while also keeping your brand on top)
3. Solve your pesky image resize issues

Email Templates for Suppliers

We are working on 2 client templates for you to use to showcase two suppliers, Simpson Travel and Club Med who both have their own unique product. Whether you decide to use these templates and offers on Marketing Manager will depend of course on whether you think your customer base suits their product.

Could you let me know by clicking the button(s) below if you do sell these suppliers / would like to sell them?

Sending Better Quotes to Clients

Now that our new subscription plans include a license to use TripQuote I've been learning more about the types of quotes that you use from suppliers and also the amount of work involved in sending out good looking quotes from new clients.

One of the things I've learned is that there seems to be an awful lot of retyping of information ( especially if the supplier PDF is not that great looking)

So I recorded a quick tutorial on how to make supplier quotes better looking to send to your clients and am also running a couple of webinars to show more tips and tricks to speed up your workflow

Image Resizing

If there is one thing I get asked more than any other it is about image resizing. A supplier sends you an image and it is 4Mb and looks huge on the screen - in the example below you can see the size is related to width and depth as well as 'weight' ( if you are wondering, putting a 4Mb image on your web page will slow it down so you need the weight to be at least 10 times smaller). It can all get confusing!

If you are wanting to resize one image - I recommend free online software like befunky image resizer

But if you have a lot to do - it can be quicker and easier to bulk resize them ( do them all at once). Software for that is usually expensive - but here is the program we use and it is selling at a 50% discount today (this is an exceptional price BTW)

Thank You!

Thanks to everyone that helped my daughter with a survey for her final year research project... if you haven't and do have time she would really appreciate you sparing a few minutes to get her sample size as big as possible - detail below

What is Authenticity in Travel? - Bournemouth University Project

My youngest daughter is studying Tourism Management at Bournemouth University and is writing her final year research project exploring authentic perspectives in relation to food/drink experiences on holiday. 

As part of her research she is conducting a survey and would greatly appreciate your help. Please could you spare 5-10 minutes of your time to fill in the attached questionnaire so she has as many responses as possible to draw her conclusions from. 

With authenticity being such a hot top topic in the travel industry it’s quite a fun subject to ponder over a cuppa.

Please do share with anyone else you think might also be able to complete it.

Participate in the Survey

Keep positive .... It's my birthday next week and so I'm sure Boris is going to be kind and give me some positive news on us all getting back to normal!

Have a great weekend

Steve
