Silly Question: What is Direct Mail? Not silly at all. We forget most of the “letters” that show up in our mailbox are marketing collateral.

I am the second sort of escapologist. “I read once that the first time they put an escapologist in a tank of water, he or she will have one of two reactions, and which one determines the course of their life. The first sort of escapologist is an ordinary person who has come to the trade organically, by whatever curious sequence of opportunity and happenstance—and that sort will panic.

Here are what I think are the two best free easy ways to create graphics for blog posts and presentations if you’re not a graphics wonk. (Note: I am not a graphics wonk.)

When it comes to motivating employees, everyone prefers cash, right? In fact, the opposite is true. The use of non-cash rewards by U.S. companies has recently exploded. A recent Incentive Research Foundation study estimates that the number of firms using non-cash rewards has risen sharply from approximately 25% in the 1990s to more than 80% in 2018.

I recently attended a large conference for marketing professionals and was surprised to find out that they didn’t have a mobile app for attendees. The wireless internet access was limited and the agenda kept changing throughout the conference. As an attendee, it was frustrating to not have access to an app because we had to constantly check their website for any updates to the schedule.

Chances are good that your event is not the only one of its kind. That means your potential attendees may have to pick your event or another, which also means someone wins and someone loses. What goes into this decision-making process of your audience? How does a person choose which event they will attend if they can only pick one? I’m glad you asked those thoughtful questions.

Post authored by Jeff Fugate, SVP Sales and Marketing. There is a core truth that we may sometimes forget: people come to your events for their own reasons, not yours. Even if you have the latest and greatest bells and whistles, your event won’t reach its full potential if it fails to focus on the value to the individual and their “why.” Understanding “why” they want to come can help you design an experience that will get them there and keep them coming back year after year.

AUTOMATION. Any reputable reservation system should enable the tour operator, travel agent or Destination Management Company using it to set up end-to-end automation through the booking process. The obvious advantage of this is that it takes out a lot of the man power that was previously required to run the process manually. This can eliminate human error and inefficiency, and also mean your team can concentrate their efforts in other key areas.

1. Issue defined: a hotel needs more direct bookings. Historically, hotels heavily relied on OTAs and tour operators to make the objective occupancy rate and to bring guests to the hotels. All was well, the hotels enjoyed their partnerships with travel agencies and tour operators, and guests were happy booking package tours. However, with time, trends changed, and travellers now more than ever look for making their own choices and booking all elements of their trips on their own.
