Todayβs issue is brought to you by Dollar Flight Club.
Ever had that sinking feeling after booking a trip, realizing you should've pitched the travel brand or tourism board instead? π
Don't fret; all is not lost! Here's your game plan. ππ
Guess what?
Just because you've already secured your trip doesn't mean you can't contact the brand. π€ποΈ
While you're on the property, why not arrange a meeting with the management? π¨
Or when you arrive, consider asking for those sweet upgrades! ππ
But here's the golden nugget: Capture a ton of stunning content during your stay at the property or destination! πΈπ₯
Then, when you return home, work your editing magic and send them your masterpiece. π₯οΈπ
This could lead to a paid partnership and licensing opportunities! π°π€©
So, the next time you book a trip, remember there's still a chance to turn it into a win-win collaboration. ππ
But, if youβve made pitching a habit like my Wildly Successful Travelpreneurs members have, then youβll never miss out on an opportunity!
Weβve just wrapped up the second official-themed pitching challenge in the membership! Our focus was on pitching Tourism Boards and Iβm super proud of everyone who completed the challenge - their efforts are paying off!
The next themed pitching challenge in the membership will take place in November and the theme is not yet confirmed - so make sure to vote!
