200 TRAVEL AGENTS BLOGGING & SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING FOR 100 DAYSThe Travel Blog Project is now live with 213 travel agents participating in a 100 day blogging and social media marketing effort. Agents that participate in the Travel Blog Project are branding themselves online as travel experts in their niche through blogging, social media posting, email campaigns and search engine optimization of their websites. Each weekday participating agents will receive "The Daily Post" which will provide the theme of the day to create four or five sentences around and then post on their Blog, Facebook or Twitter. We will individually and collectively develop travel agent best practices to generate sales using the Internet and social media. George Oberle, founder of the Travel Blog Project stated "The travel agent industry is once again at a turning point. Suppliers are questioning the power of travel agents to adapt to new online marketing channels in the effort to generate sales. Yet, travel agents have an incredible opportunity to sell ‘better travel' simply by telling their story consistently through posting on their blogs, social media sites and sending bi-monthly email campaigns."Participation in the Travel Agent Blog Project is FREE! Travel Agents must have or be willing to create a Blog, Facebook business fan page, Twitter account and spend at least 15 minutes per day posting to them.
