The 5 free tools to save time in your travel agency

1. Trello: Simplify your planning
‍
Trello is great for travel agencies. Organize your projects visually. Create boards for different group trips or marketing campaigns. With its system of cards and boards you can see progress and assign tasks to your team - easy!
‍
For example, you can have a board for a trip to Bali, with "Flight bookings", "Accommodations" and "Tasks completed". This way, each team member knows exactly what to do and what stage each part of the trip is at.

2.Mailchimp: Power your email marketing
‍
Mailchimp is perfect for travel agencies that want to keep their customers up to date with their promotions, posts, ideas. With its free plan, you can send emails to a limited number of subscribers, it is ideal for small campaigns.
‍
It is best to design attractive newsletters to promote new destinations, special offers and travel updates.

For example, you could create an email campaign to promote an exclusive tour of Tuscany.

3.Google Forms: Get feedback from your customers
‍
Google Forms is a free, easy-to-use tool for creating surveys and forms.
‍
Survey your customers after or during their trips. Ask about their experience, what they liked and what you could improve.

For example, after a trip to Thailand, ask about accommodations and activities. This will help you improve and better understand your customers.

4.Google Analytics:
‍
Use it to find out how your potential customers reach your website. You will also be able to know what they do on the site, if they click on travel booking buttons and when they leave your website. If you launch a one-week promotion in Paris and allow people to buy from your website, then Google Analytics will let you know if there is an increase in traffic and from which channels visitors arrive more (e.g. organic search, social networks, promotional emails). Simple and useful.


5.Unsplash
‍
Unsplash is a repository of royalty-free destination images. How many times have we wanted to add a visual image to our budget and have wasted endless hours of work searching on google? If it's pixelated, if it has a watermark, if it's from another agency, etc. For this reason, we recommend this image bank, since its content is nourished by photographers from the destinations and they are very powerful.

MOGU: A comprehensive solution
‍
Keep in mind that many of the previously mentioned solutions can be used from it so as not to work with a multitude of disconnected platforms.
‍
Let us tell you what MOGU is. MOGU is an all-in-one tool that simplifies the management of your travel agency. If you sell tailor-made trips you can create and present unique itineraries and charge online.
It helps you, without technical knowledge, to collect data from your customers (allergies, documents, preferences, etc.) and organize your sales team.
‍
For example, if you want to present a Japan-Maldives to a couple (this is fashionable, eh!), MOGU allows you to show the itinerary and the price in a very visual and fast way. Just drag and drop the blocks you are interested in adding to the budget: hotels, flights, services, and you will be able to launch more quotes, more beautiful and faster than your competitors.
‍
For a corporate or organization meeting, MOGU facilitates the registration of participants, the collection of documentation and the management of payments. And if you are organizing an educational trip, MOGU serves you to collect all the documentation of the students, present the trip and show the changes in an online and updated way for the parents. Last but not least, it takes the pain out of collecting the different payment deadlines from each family.
