3 strategies to multiply the income from your wedding trips

Maldives, Thailand, Bali, New York, Mexico... Do they sound familiar to you? Exactly, these are some of the most popular destinations for newlyweds. How many of them has your agency sold this year? You may have already lost count, as they are classics that never go out of style. These are very welcome sales, but are you really getting the most out of this type of trip?

Honeymoon trips are one of the niches in the tourism sector that offer the most possibilities for agencies to monetize them from the start, but not all of them manage to take advantage of this circumstance. The room for action on these trips is perhaps somewhat limited, since customers have very clear ideas about what destination they want (those who have dreamed all their lives of going to Bali will not change it in the blink of an eye for a safari to Kenya, even if your business strategy is excellent), so the turning point for expanding your business margin is to improve your services and customer service throughout the process.

It is clear that nowadays we work with an informed traveler with very clear ideas: if your travel proposal to the Maldives does not convince him, he will immediately go to the next agency, where they will also give him some suitcases. But your client doesn't want a suitcase, they want to make the most special trip of their life, and you can provide it for them.

To triple your profits by selling these products, don't miss details of the three strategies we've outlined so that you can offer the best service to your customers with the maximum benefit for you.

#1 Win with the first impression.
What will make a customer want to buy your itinerary to Bali and not that of your competition? It is possible that both of you work with the same operator at your destination and that the prices are very similar. How do you differentiate yourself? Win positions by offering an impeccable first impression: your proposal speaks about you, and clients want the agency's offer to live up to their dreams. If you use the MOGU itinerary builder, you can offer a truly dreamy proposal that will help you convert more and better: use our image bank to be very visual, include all the details in just a few minutes, offers different price categories, includes a map with the itinerary step by step and simply type in the name of hotels and restaurants to automatically upload your Google company profile information. Do you want more? If you sell 30 New York-Mexico package trips each season, keep it in your travel library so you can customize it every time with minimal effort.

This is what your proposals will look like

#2 Payment facilities.
Honeymoon trips usually have a medium-high bill, which can mean that many clients have to think twice before saying yes... to your agency. Don't miss these business opportunities because you can't offer tailor-made payment facilities and design your own personalized payment plan: in each proposal made with MOGU you can integrate not only a payment link, but you can configure the charges as best suits you or as you agree with the customer, both in amounts and dates: a signal and two payments every two months; or five monthly payments; or perhaps 50% as a signal and the rest deferred in bimonthly payments. The MOGU tool offers you total freedom when it comes to charging your customers: you decide how you want to organize it so that all proposals end up in sales and financing is no longer a problem.

Provide a customized payment plan

#3 Use the app to continue accompanying them during their honeymoon.
They say that every wedding comes out of another one... well, we could say that every trip with MOGU comes another sale! One of the most useful features that MOGU has is its mobile app: offer it to newlyweds as an additional service to their wedding trip and discover everything that the app can offer: for clients it is a way of contacting both the agency and their destination guide, so they can request additional services through private chat. The agency in turn can charge for these services by sending payment links through the same app that are immediately paid with the credit card. Monetizing your destination has never been easier!

A honeymoon is also a special moment, where travelers relax and allow themselves small and well-deserved extras to celebrate their wedding. Remember to use the Explore section of the app here to include a link to your preferred membership page and to be able to recommend those additional services that would not otherwise enter your account, since the convenience of having all the information about excursions and extras just a click away in your reference app is a source of trust and convenience for the customer.

Use the app to improve the destination experience

Extra tip: favor the recommendation.
With the app, your clients will feel more accompanied and will better value the work of your company, since through this the agency's role does not end when the plane takes off for the dream trip, but rather it remains very present in an active way offering help throughout their stay. This proactive and continuous role will increase satisfaction with your agency, clearly differentiating you from the competition, and with it you will have earned a well-deserved positive recommendation as well as the loyalty of two new clients.
