Coastal Vacations Hosts Convention March 28th in Orlando

Coastal Vacations, the #1 business opportunity in the wholesale travel industry is hosting its semi-annual training seminar in Orlando, Florida at the Buena Vista Palace & Spa on Friday, March 28th and Saturday, March 29th of 2008.

Coastal Vacations has been in the travel industry as a wholesaler of travel package for 28 years, but it became a business opportunity only 14 years ago. Throughout the years, Coastal Vacations has experienced amazing growth and has members in over 80 countries all over the world.

Coastal Vacation is composed of several different groups with different marketing system that they have put in place. Because Coastal Vacations is an association of entrepreneurs and not a publicly traded company, each member is his own business owner and has the freedom to market the travel packages and business opportunity any way they choose. Due to this fact, the Coastal Board of Directors has decided the main theme of the Coastal training seminar this March to be unity.

Many Coastal Vacations directors out there are thinking about having local seminars and workshops in their area to market this travel business opportunity, but they don’t know where to start or what to do.

Well, here are a few tips on how to have a successful Coastal Vacations workshop in your local area.

As many of the avid internet marketers out there know, Coastal Vacations is the top home based business opportunity in the travel industry. The Coastal Vacations travel packages claim to have a value of over $15,000 but are only sold for $1,295 to $11,000 depending on the package.

Many Coastal Vacations directors focus on selling these packages as a wholesale travel business opportunity and don’t realize that by retailing these travel packages to local businesses they could well tap into a huge fountain of wealth.

Here are a few tips on how to retail the Coastal Vacations packages to your local businesses and fundraisings:

Have you ever heard this before? I am sure you have.

That is the most popular excuse we hear when we present the Coastal Vacations business to somebody. A lot of people want to start their own Coastal Vacations business, but they don’t have the money to start. Well, guess what? Most people DON’T have the money but they WILL get the money if they find value in what you have to offer them: the Coastal Vacations business and package.

Here is a tip: Before talking about money, make sure you build plenty of value first. Let them know how great Coastal Vacations is and how great the support system they are going to get is. THEN they will FIND the money! But make sure you build value first. This is very important!

There is a great travel agent program that has helped us get deep discounts on many resorts in the U.S. as well as overseas. We can also book other people’s travels and make money, so it is a great compliment to the Coastal Vacations business.

It is Inteletravel. With Inteletravel we got an $800 double-deluxe suite facing the fountain at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, FL for only $149 a night! Amazing! Catherine also got a room at the Breezes All-Inclusive Resort in Cabarete, Dominican Republic for only $50 a night! All meals, drinks, and entertainment included!

These are great testimonials to prove the reliability of this program we trust in so much. Inteletravel is the best travel agent program out there!

We believe in it so much that we have even given them away as bonuses to our Coastal people.

This is probably one of the most important lessons we will have on this blog ever.

Building an opt-in list is vital for your success. People are busy, so they need to hear from you periodically or they will either forget about you and what you have to offer, or they will join your business, not with you; but with somebody that did stay in contact with them. So, make sure that you are always…ALWAYS building an opt-in list and that you are e-mailing your contacts on a regular basis with a good and reliable auto-responder system.

To build your list you will need a couple tools that are very cheap and easy to use. You need an auto-responder system, which will send your e-mails to your list with the click of a button. We recommend AWeber.Point blank, it is the most reliable program.

Writing articles and press releases is a very, very powerful marketing tool that could potentially drive tons of traffic to your website while making you an expert on the Coastal Vacations subject.

Use these tips to help you improve your articles visibility:

1. Use Your Keywords. What is the main subject of your article? Is it the Level 1, 2 or 3 packages? Is it the Sales Center? Is it Coastal Vacations? Whichever subject you choose to write about, make sure your keywords appear several times on your article. Don’t over do it, though, or it would be considered scam.

2. Submit to the article and press release submission sites. There are tons of sites you can use to submit your articles. If you are with the Sales Center group, you have a much bigger list in your back office. The most popular ones are:
a. www.ezinearticles.com
b. www.prwebdirect.com
c. www.freepressreleases.com
d. www.clickpress.com

Has anyone of you tried print advertising successfully? The internet is not the only place to find qualified leads. It’s all about getting the word out about your Coastal Vacations business until the right people find you. The more information about you and your business you have out there, the bigger your chance of success.

We heard of a Coastal Vacations director that made all of her sales just by having a pin attached to her shirt everywhere she went that read: “Ask Me About FREE Travel”. How creative is that?? We put a huge sign on the back of our vehicle with our website on it. If you let your imagination flow, really, the advertising opportunities are limitless.

We bought business cards and tickets from www.JumpstartCoastal.com and we had a lot of hits to our website and many phone calls from people in our area interested in what we had to offer. They have great quality print advertising such as biz-opp cards, brochures, flyers, tickets, and post cards at very affordable prices.

If you are not on the Coastal training calls of your group, then you are missing out. There is not another way right now to get live, updated information on what’s going on in the Sales Center -or any group you are affiliated with- and learn how YOU can improve your marketing tactics with new trends and “cool stuff” that are working for the major money-makers in Coastal Vacations.

Do you want to make money? Do you want to get your Coastal business to the next level? Then you will need to be on those calls. We hear some Coastal members say that they are just not making as much money as they want to make with Coastal, and the first question Matt asks is: “Well, have you been on the training calls lately?”. Guess what the answer is. NO.

This is a great way to get people’s attention. Web 2.0 is the next new trend on internet marketing, and best of all, it’s FREE! If you have a webcam or just any camcorder, record a small video and tell the world how excited you are about Coastal Vacations and upload on YouTube. Tell your life story on your MySpace.com page and get a Squidoo.com page about your business. Telling your life story will get people to connect with you on a personal level.

This video we created a couple of months ago. We thought it was a neat idea to have a news release about us as directors and the Coastal Vacations business. I don’t suggest everyone gets a TedSaidIt video, but get ideas and be creative, there is so much you can do out there for free to market your Coastal business.

One of the most successful ways to advertise for us has been Google Adwords (pay-per-click). Nothing else has worked better for us to bring qualified prospects to our site. With Google Adwords you make up your own budget, so you can spend as much or as little as you wish every month.

To set up a campaign you need to sign up for a Google account and once logged in you will need to type in an ad and select the keywords that people will need to search on Google in order for your ad to appear. Here we suggest you stick to just a few very specific keywords, such as “coastal vacations, coastal vacations home based business, coastal vacations call center, etc.)

There is a great e-book called “Get Google Ads Free!” that gives a lot of insight on how Google Adwords work and how anyone with a website can get Google advertising for free with the techniques that he teaches.

Many of our Coastal Vacations team members have asked us about where to go to get good leads for their Coastal business. There are many different services that offer leads and there are many types of leads. Of course, the more qualified the lead, the more money you are going to pay for it, but also the better chance you have to get a sale out of it and make it worth your time and money.

Traditionally Coastal Vacations directors have bought leads from Cutting Edge Media. These are Coastal qualified leads and they range anywhere from about $4 up to $10. This is a great lead source. However, lately we have been working with leads from MLM Lead Genie with great success. These leads have filled out a long form, they know about Coastal and the initial investment to start up, and they have been phone interviewed as well.

I recently posted an article about what the Coastal Vacations directors could do to generate more sales in a short amount of time. A lot of Coastal Vacations director struggle trying to make some sales while it seems like sales just rain on others. Why?

I believe the key to be successful in Coastal Vacations and any other business is to “treat your business like a business”.

Here’s a brief summary of the article:

It is a fact that Coastal Vacations is in the top 5 home-based businesses virtually since its launch 13 years ago. It a business that people can do online and offline and make thousands of dollars on each sale. However, many people join Coastal Vacations and then get frustrated when they don’t see the expected results in a short amount of time. Here are five steps that could guarantee you a boost in your Coastal Vacations sales if you implement them immediately.
