# Marketing Trips

> Showcase your expertise with publicly visible trips that attract new clients

# 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.

## Creating a Marketing Trip

1. Go to **Marketing Trips** in the agent sidebar.
2. Click **"New Trip"**.
3. Build the itinerary using the full trip editor — AI generation, map, transport, accommodations, everything.
4. Add tags so it surfaces in the right searches.
5. Publish it.

Published marketing trips appear on:

* Your public business profile.
* Your Linktree.
* Rooutie's explore pages and topic pages (filtered by your tags).

## Selling Marketing Trips

Set a price on a marketing trip to turn it into a paid guide. Clients who buy it get the full itinerary in their Rooutie account — they can use it as-is or customise it for their own plans.

> Selling trips requires a connected Stripe account. See [Payments](/business-manual/payments).

## Turning a Marketing Trip into a Client Proposal

Found a prospective client interested in a destination you've already published a marketing trip for? Start from that trip:

1. Duplicate the marketing trip.
2. Open the duplicate in Client Trips.
3. Assign it to the client.
4. Personalise it for their dates, group size, and preferences.
5. Send as a proposal.

Don't start from scratch when you already have great content ready to go.
