Savvy travel advisors understand that your income is built on repeat clients and referrals. But manually tracking every client birthday, pre-trip deadline, and post-trip follow-up for a busy book of business is an unsustainable drain on your time.
At Travel Agent Pro, we believe your focus should be 100% on high-value sales, not administrative outreach. That’s why Client Reach, an exclusive, fully automated client email communication program, ensures your clients feel continuously cared for—all under your own brand.
Client Reach is your secret weapon for retention, handling the low-effort, high-impact tasks that turn one-time buyers into lifelong raving fans, freeing you to focus on your next sale.
The Three Pillars of Client Reach
Client Reach is seamlessly integrated with your client management system, delivering personalized, timely communication at every stage of the travel lifecycle.
1. Retention: The Power of the Personal Touch (Automated)
The most effective client retention strategies make the client feel like they are your only client. Client Reach handles the crucial, year-round personal communication so you never miss a touchpoint.
| Touchpoint | Timing | Agent Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Birthday Wishes | Automatically sent on the client's birthday (or other key dates). | Builds Loyalty: A thoughtful, personalized surprise that keeps you top-of-mind outside of a booking cycle. |
| Travel Inspiration | Sent quarterly, featuring exclusive offers from our consortia, Signature Travel Network. | Drives Desire: Reminds clients of the luxury perks you can offer, prompting them to start planning their next trip with you. |
| Referral Reminder | Sent 30 days post-return. | Generates Leads: Proactively asks for referrals when the client's trip experience is still fresh and positive. |

2. Service: Zero-Effort Pre-Trip Reminders
The weeks before a trip are the most critical time for client service—and the most time-consuming for the agent. Our automated workflow ensures all essential information is delivered, enhancing the client’s experience and protecting you from liability.
Client Reach ensures critical information is delivered exactly when it's needed, fully customized to their booking:
- Insurance Deadline: A gentle, professional reminder that the window to purchase travel insurance is closing, protecting their investment (and your commission).
- Final Payment Due: A non-intrusive notification ensuring payments are made on time, eliminating awkward follow-up calls for you.
- Essential Checklists: Automated reminders for items like:
- Hotels: Confirmation of Signature Travel Network amenities (e.g., complimentary breakfast, resort credit).
- Shore Excursions/Tours: A final prompt to book high-commission ancillary services.
- Passport/Visa: A countdown reminder based on the client's destination.
- "Bon Voyage" Message: Sent 48 hours before departure. A warm, branded email wishing them a great trip and providing a clear "in-case-of-emergency" contact card.
3. Advocacy: The Golden Window for Repeat Business
Client retention is 80% cheaper than new client acquisition. The moment a client returns from a great trip is the prime time to secure their next booking.
| Communication | Timing | Result |
|---|---|---|
| "Welcome Home!" | 24 hours after return date. | Immediate Connection: A simple, thoughtful check-in that makes them feel appreciated and confirms the quality of your service. |
| Feedback/Testimonial Request | 7 days post-return. | Builds Social Proof: Captures glowing reviews and success stories that you can use to market your business to new leads. |
| Re-Engagement Prompt | 4-6 weeks post-return. | Sparks New Sales: A short email suggesting new destinations based on their recent trip (e.g., "Loved the Caribbean? Consider a South Pacific cruise for 2025!"). |
The Unbeatable Advantage for the Experienced Agent
As a seasoned professional, your time is your most precious resource. Client Reach is not just a marketing tool; it’s an efficiency driver that scales your personal service without increasing your workload.
| Agent Pain Point | The Travel Agent Pro Solution |
|---|---|
| Administrative Overload | **You save 5-10 hours per booking** on repetitive email tasks, allowing you to focus on high-commission itinerary creation. |
| Client Inconsistency | Every client receives the same five-star, professional communication—automatically and without errors. |
| Losing Repeat Business | Client Reach manages the long-term relationship for you, ensuring your brand stays present in their inbox for years. |
Stop spending your valuable time on routine follow-up. Partner with Travel Agent Pro and let Client Reach do the hard work of client retention, guaranteeing you an endless stream of raving fans and repeat business.
