Become a Home Based Travel Agent

New Viral Marketing Tool For Travel Agents
By Tom Ogg

Marketing on the Internet was never this easy! Cruise countdown clocks are enjoyed by tens of thousands of people. They use them in bulletin boards, discussion groups, on websites and even on their desktops. The cruise countdown clocks at www.Cruiselocks.com are especially popular because of their colorful and itinerary focused nature. A cruiser can pick their itinerary, pick their cruise line, enter their sailing date, enter a special message and create a clock that they can use for free.

The ship sails along the itinerary until the sailing date of the cruise. It also counts down to the sailing date letting the user know how many months, weeks, and days it will be before they step onto their ship. Each day that goes by, the ship sails along the itinerary and passes the highpoints of the itinerary. They are really cool! Cruisers love them.

Use these counters as advertisements for your agency in discussion groups (or where ever) Have your clients put them on their websites and folks that see them will also see your agency with direct links to whatever page you want them to visit. The banners offer two separate places to stick text and links.

Your Agency Name and Link Here or Whatever You Want

Use them for reunion cruises, family reunions, incentives and other special groups. You can drive business to your agency (above the banner) and to a dedicated web page on your site that deals with whatever group, reunion or movement that you are promoting.

The tool generates 4 different types of Code; HTML (for websites and anywhere you can use HTML) BB (for bulletin boards) EZ (for EZ boards) and a widget that creates a widget to put the clocks on client's desktops. A good example of a clock for a desktop is below. You can link your agency name to your home page (or wherever) and then link to your clients specific file or any other content you would like to link to
