Marketing Trips
Not every trip you create is for a specific client. Marketing trips are the itineraries you publish publicly to showcase your expertise, demonstrate what you can build, and attract new enquiries. Think of them as your portfolio — the evidence that you’re great at what you do.How Marketing Trips Differ from Client Trips
| Client Trips | Marketing Trips | |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | A specific client (private) | The public (discoverable) |
| Purpose | Deliver a booked itinerary | Attract new clients |
| Visibility | Private link only | Public profile, explore pages |
| Proposal features | Yes — acceptance tracking, status | No — these aren’t proposals |
What to Use Marketing Trips For
- Destination showcases — a 10-day Japan itinerary that shows your deep knowledge of the country.
- Style demonstrations — a luxury Maldives week, an adventure Peru circuit, a family-friendly Costa Rica trip.
- Seasonal content — Christmas markets in Europe, summer in Santorini, ski season in the Alps.
- Sellable guides — marketing trips can be priced and sold as standalone downloadable itineraries.
