Alaska Tour Operator Increases Sales 30 percent: Travel Business Success Series with Tourism Tim Warren
Jimmy Jack grew up fishing the Kenai River in Alaska. He always dreamed of owning his own business and get paid to do what he loved… As a young adult, even though Jimmy had 300 direct competitors, and thousands of regional lodges, guides and adventure tour operators, Jimmy jumped in.
The first 16 years were challenging… yet his business slowly grew.
So how was it that in less than two short seasons, Jimmy’s business grew 90% in 2010 and another 30% in 2011?
Tour Operator Invest in Business and Himself
Jimmy prides himself in having quality boats, first-class service and improving his business consistently. His marketing is the same. So when he found my tourism marketing online program, and heard how other travel operators were growing their business, he thought, he could use some help…
Based on what others where doing from my guidance, Jimmy considered it “a small change in advertising… with a huge potential impact”.
Well the growth on his business was so ask significant he was able to expand from 8 to 12 boats, add an office staff and expand his itinerary.
“ I can’t believe how simple and fast growing my business was…”
The Internet connection in rural Alaska is slow, so Jimmy wasn’t able to watch many of the videos that come with the program. So he just downloaded the PDF guide, which is the foundation of the course, spent a couple hours studying, 1 hour brainstorming and another few hours apply the tips to his website and emails. That’s it.
Inquiries and sales increased almost immediately!
Jimmy shares in this video, “when your website is done right, it pre-sells prospects.” He also noticed he was spending less time marketing and more time taking orders. All from some simple changes from his website.
Now he could spend more time with his family and more time taking his own vacations during the cold winters. In fact he’s in warm Mexico now for a month long vacation…
One of the things that I’ve heard from tour operators before is what Jimmy shared, “I can’t believe how easy this was.” Jimmy thought, “Has Tim been hiding this?”
I know you’re busy and not a marketing guru…
I understand what it’s like to start, run and grow a tour business or lodge. I’ve done it twice. With my brother Kevin and Baja Airventures, and then again with Maverick Business Adventures.
And since 1994 I’ve helped thousands of others over the years by sharing best practices as an author, trainer and consultant. So I know if I’m going to really provide you solid advice that will grow your business, it better be simple, it better be easy and it has to provide a great return on investment.
You are not alone. Here’s the help you need.
A few times a year, as a special bonus for people who become members of my course, I run a private mastermind group. This is an opportunity to get one-on-one help and guidance from and your peers for no additional cost.
Several course members in the Mastermind have told me, “Tim the coaching and feedback I got on my website was worth the whole program.” This was the case for Jimmy and he wasn’t even on the mastermind call. But we reviewed his site, I recorded it, he applied what we shared, and now Jimmy’s smiling all in the bank with this major increase in revenues…
I can’t grow my business because…
If you think you can’t grow your business because of the economy, you’re in a foreign country, you don’t have a lot of money, you don’t understand marketing, English isn’t your first language, and you don’t have travel agent or tour operator partners,… Etc. You are wrong.
I have countless story and video testimonials from operators just like you who are having record years…
