Hitting The Road: Discounted Travel And Hybrid Cars

By Gary Mooney

The Global Recession is like a monster that forces us to knees and cut our expenses. Fortunately, things were made to combat such adversary from hybrid cars that can save oil consumption to discounted travels that save a lot of money. The difference between the two is that hybrid cars are way more expensive than discounted travels and that more people can afford a nice trip rather than a nice car. Hence, it is easier to partner with the travel industry rather than with car companies if we talk about saving money.

Such partnership involves you working in the travel industry. As you can see the travel business is one of the most lucrative businesses today. Its success is explained by the fact that people need to travel to satisfy certain conditions - either work-related or for recreation. In fact, a lot of people - from top CEOs to your old plain neighbor set aside some time off their busy schedules to plan a trip somewhere far from their everyday lives. Some of them took a vacation that ranges from days to months. Recreation is a necessity but in the advent of Global Recession, a lot of people - from top CEOs to your old plain neighbor are quite scared to make a travel plan that could cost them a fortune. This is where you come in. You can do a home based business that would cater to the needs of such persons like offering them discounted travels.

Since, you know the characteristics of your client (i.e. they want lesser cost), you can attract them by flashy details about your discounted travel package. This can be availed by people working in so and so industry that suffers from lower wage or that you yourself tried it and it left you with enough money to throw a 'welcome back' party. This would benefit your clients because they want to see which hotel accommodation is more affordable, or which travel package is within the limits of their budget. In a nutshell, that would be the your main agenda as an online travel agent - to offer as much travel comforts to your clients and afterwards finish the transaction over the internet to your travel company.

Now, since you do direct selling, you can categorize it as a sort of multi-level marketing strategy that would guarantee you a direct salary from each and every transaction that will push through. In other words, your salary would come from how many clients that availed travel packages from you hence, your salary in this kind of work is known as a travel commission. In the end, what you really need in this job are three things: an internet, your marketing skills, and the flashy travel discounts at your brochures.

In this line of work, you can actually grant your clients wonderful vacation because they can afford it and at the same time they are at a place where they really want to be - on a white sand beach or in a snowy mountain away from the biting and cold reality of a Global Recession. With this in mind, surely you wouldn't hesitate to enter this kind of business especially if you are planning to buy one of those hybrid cars.
