Travel and network marketing combined is a powerful unit which has the potential to reshape both industries. There have been several companies to come along that have recognized this and are rapidly growing their businesses. Travel has become one of America’s top products and network marketing is intensifying people’s opinion about the industry.
It was a wise concept to join social marketing with travel. Successful businesses know that referrals are good for positive, long lasting growth. Its evident that some savvy business people did what they were supposed to do…research a hot market and find a way to capitalize on it. After they committed themselves to a product they only needed to focus on cost effective ways to advertise and sell the products. What more cost effective way than social marketing (network marketing).
Internet marketers and other major businesses have a similar marketing system called affiliate marketing. The internet marketing gurus wouldn’t think of creating and marketing a product without either setting up an affiliate program or joint venturing with others.
Each of these travel businesses, using network marketing as their main marketing tool, has their pluses and minuses. I would say that one of the main pluses is not having to store a room or garage full of product. Just direct a person to a site or vendor and your work is done. The hardest part is keeping yourself educated about the new industry that you are in. And this is probably a major minus for these businesses. People are getting into a business without really knowing the industry they are in. This is where the company has to step up and offer continuous, required training for its representatives.
Technology has been the main driving force behind this market shift. People are no longer relying on someone else to plan their travels for them. We now have immediate access to all the information we want so planning something for ourselves and family is not daunting anymore. Its now a simple task of typing in the travel site of your choice in the search engine and reserving a spot or more. What makes the juice a little sweeter in this scenario is that if travel is your product you make money from such efforts.
The baby boomers are going to kick this rocket into overdrive. Studies have shown that the group which has been behind every major economic movement will be going into retirement until at LEAST 2012. After having worked for many years now it is time for them to play a little. But I also think that younger individuals will find this model attractive because again, with technology, information and features about places are very accessible. Nothing seems distant anymore. A 25, 26, 27 year old doesn’t want to wait until he is 55 to go Europe. He is definitely ready to take advantage of opportunities.
Individuals are going to become wealthy from this collaboration, no doubt about it, and its not just going to be the company’s owners either. People are going to able to put something away for their families for generations to come.
The company that I’m associated with has a goal to make over ten thousand millionaires. I can see this happening with the way they are systematically opening up different countries. If you have been considering a travel and network marketing company I encourage you to get started with one these many fine companies sooner rather than later.
