We need to stand out to succeed in this business
TravelCafe is different from any other broker based business in New Zealand, Australia and quite possibly worldwide.
- We are a completely online full service agency – without the overheads of a “bricks and mortar” office.
- We’ve built an audience of over 60,000 Kiwi travellers and they like to hear from us!
- We focus entirely on enormously successful email and web-based techniques to create and nurture relationships with our clients
- Most importantly, we generate leads, opportunities and new customers exclusively for our Online Travel Brokers
- Our Online Travel Brokers are each independent and self-employed contractors but we also work really well and collaborate as a team.
Wouldn’t it be nice NOT to have to worry about where your next booking is coming from? How would you like a steady stream of new customer every day (and night).
We’ve developed our own unique web-based system (“TravelQuote”) to manage the assignment of new enquiries to online travel brokers and ensure existing clients want to remain with their preferred travel broker and we’ve managed over 36,000 enquiries through this system so far. We also operate a sophisticated 0800 phone system that brokers opt in to or out of each week.
- If you’re already a travel broker then we can help you grow your business faster and easier than anywhere else. We’ll help you with online and email marketing to your existing clients.
- If you’re thinking of changing from a travel consultant and becoming a travel broker but are worried about making the change to commission-only we can provide you effective, free marketing support and new clients to look after from day 1!
- Whether you’re a new or seasoned travel broker we guarantee your client database will grow faster and further in partnership with us – than anywhere else – and certainly cheaper than anywhere else too!
Right now we’re looking for specialists
