To all my friends and family who have either gone on, or are on trips, and didn't book with me, I have a message for you: it's ok! I see your pictures and LOVE seeing the fun you're having! Can I clear a few thoughts and misconceptions up, though?
π¨
π 1. I don't charge anything for my services, so you don't pay anymore to book through me than Expedia.
π 2. You ARE paying commission when booking with Expedia (or elsewhere), you just don't see it because it's all factored into the price you see on the screen. Since you're paying for it, wouldn't you rather support my small business than Expedia as a whole?
π― 3. I work for YOU and I'm your liaison to make sure you get everything you want from your booking. There may be things in the fine print you don't know about until it's too late.
π 4. Maybe you already booked and you just forgot I do what I do? That's ok! I just had a friend recently reach out who had done this and I was able to transfer the booking over to me and because she did that, she now qualifies for extra perks she could only get by using me as her Travel Agent. It never hurts to ask!
πββοΈ 5. Maybe you want to get away in the next couple days and you don't want to "bother" me with it? First of all, I do what I LOVE so it's not a bother, second of all, I was able to get my friend an awesome cabin for the weekend on Wed., so I can find it!
π 6. Maybe you don't want me knowing your business and how much you're spending on vacations? First, I already know how much you spent based on your accommodations and length of stay, so don't worry about that. Second, I take confidentiality very seriously and don't talk about my clients with other clients or friends. I have whole families I'm working with individually and if they tell each other their plans, that's their business, not mine. I don't book and tell.
All this to say, please, please, please allow me to book your getaways and vacations, no matter how big or small. My family and I truly appreciate it and Expedia/Costco/AAA donβt care about you like I do!
