TORONTO — Travel Edge Network has launched a new social media campaign and contest to recruit new travel advisors.
Called ‘The Big Ticket,’ the campaign will be rolled out on Instagram, Meta, LinkedIn, Google, TikTok and YouTube in an effort to reach a wide-ranging audience who is passionate about travel.
The contest will award them with a launching pad for a travel career, starting with a fully hosted professional development trip. The winners will also serve as ‘brand ambassadors’ who will produce content for consumers that shows behind-the-scenes benefits of being part of a newly-launched tiered program called Venture.
Designed for new-to-business advisors, Venture is an entry-level program aimed at attracting new travel advisors. Venture+, meanwhile, is a more robust training program aimed at more tenured travel professionals, supported by innovative tools along with mentoring opportunities and enhanced training courses in sales, customer service, marketing and specialist certifications in areas like cruise, air, hotel and destinations.
Prizes include the chance to participate on one of Travel Edge Network’s ‘Knowledge Trips,’ hosted trips for travel advisors to gain firsthand experience about the network’s partners and destinations.
Most notably, all participants will also be offered the chance to join Travel Edge Network and gain access to the necessary training, technology, resources and mentorship to launch a career in travel.
“There is no better time than now to consider a career as a travel advisor,” notes Nadiya Makarenko, Senior Vice President of Travel Edge Network. “Through this campaign, we want to both identify and inspire those who are passionate about travel to consider a career path as an independent advisor and to provide them with the tools, resources and training to get started and be successful in a career that offers unlimited growth potential, independence and flexibility to accommodate varied lifestyles.”
