TTAND builds client bases, engagement with annual contest

The Travel Agent Next Door has announced the winner of this year’s customer content, a campaign designed to help its home-based agents grow their client base.

The contest was sponsored by Transat Holidays and featured a seven night, all-inclusive trip for two to the Grand Palladium White Sand Resort and Spa in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

This year’s winner was Enid Van Kouten and her husband of Port Alberni, B.C., clients of Nancy Bachmeier of Dream and Go Travel, an agent hosted by TTAND.

The contest attracted more than 50,000 participants and was promoted to clients of The Travel Agent Next Door’s agents through online and collateral material.

“This annual customer contest has grown enormously. It has proven to be a great tactic to help our agents build their client base and client engagement on social media,” Flemming Friisdahl, founder of The Travel Agent Next Door, stated in a release.

Friisdahl said that for home based agents, learning how to engage with their communities and building their client base is an essential component of their success.
