As we approach the end of another year, I’d like to take a moment to wish every one of you a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season—no matter how or what you celebrate. We cherish the richness of our diverse network, and above all, we want to extend our heartfelt well-wishes to you and your families.
Give the Gift of Travel
Today is the day. If you haven’t sent an email campaign to your clients encouraging them to give the gift of travel this year, do it today. Nothing fancy, just put the bug in their ear.
Just send a 1-to-1 personal email to some of your best clients and prospects wishing them a happy holiday season and suggesting they think about giving the gift of travel. Don’t overcomplicate it.
Looking Ahead to 2025: A Few Predictions
· Cruise Demand Remains Strong–Expect continued demand for cruising with price strength holding steady.
· Back to the Beach–After some softness over the past two years, watch for a rebound in Caribbean and Mexico bookings—2025 should bring a nice lift in those sunny getaways.
· Europe & Asia Tours Surge–Interest in more far-flung adventures will continue to soar, with tours to Europe and Asia leading the charge.
· Game-Changing Advisor Tech–In the next year, new technology tools will allow a single advisor to achieve the sales volume that once required a team of several people. This will be a great equalizer, empowering individual advisors to compete with larger agencies while amplifying the value of personal client relationships.
