The 5 free tools to save time at your travel agency

1. Trello: Simplify your planning
‍
Trello is great for travel agencies. Organize your projects visually. Create boards for different group trips or marketing campaigns. With its system of cards and boards, you can see progress and assign tasks to your team. Easy!
‍
For example, you can have a dashboard for a trip to Bali, with “Flight Reservations”, “Accommodations” and “Completed Tasks”. This way, each member of the team knows exactly what to do and what stage each part of the journey is at.

2. Mailchimp: Boost Your Email Marketing
‍
Mailchimp is perfect for travel agencies that want to keep their customers up to date with their promotions, posts, ideas. With their free plan, you can send emails to a limited number of subscribers, which is ideal for small campaigns.
‍
It's best to design attractive newsletters to promote new destinations, special offers and travel updates.

For example, you could create an email campaign to promote an exclusive tour of Tuscany.

3. Google Forms: Know the opinion of your customers
‍
Google Forms is a free, easy-to-use tool for creating surveys and forms.
‍
Survey your customers after or during their trips. Ask about their experience, what they liked and what you could improve.

For example, after a trip to Thailand, ask about accommodations and activities. This will help you to improve and better understand your customers.

4. Google Analytics:
‍
Use it to know how your potential customers arrive at your website. In addition, you will be able to know what they do on the site, if they click on travel booking buttons and when they leave your website. If you launch a one-week promotion in Paris and allow it to be purchased from your website, Google Analytics helps you to know if there is an increase in traffic and from which channels visitors arrive the most (for example, organic search, social networks, promotional emails). Simple and useful.


5. Unsplash
‍
Unsplash is a royalty-free repository of destination images. How many times have we wanted to add a visual image to our budget and have we wasted endless hours of work searching on Google? What if it is pixelated, what if it has a watermark, which is from another agency, etc. That's why we recommend this image bank, since its content is nourished by photographers from the destinations and they are very powerful.

MOGU: A Comprehensive Solution
‍

And if you are organizing an educational trip, MOGU helps you to collect all the documentation from the students, present the trip and show the changes online and updated for parents.
