The basis of any business is to improve the client base. 

1.Highlight your Specialities

To outshine all the other travel agencies, you must have a unique feature which no other travel agency is offering. Instead of trying to compete with others, you should focus on pointing out the unique feature of your company. You should show the customers how the services provided by your company will benefit them.

2.Add a Personal Effect

All the travel companies have cut-throat competition. To make your company stand out, you should always add a special personal touch which the competitors are not offering. The personal effect makes the customer feel more special and attracts several clients. Adding a personal touch does not always mean to do something more unique but instead do the same thing in a friendly manner, for instance, be still available for the customers or have personal feedback and interactions often.

3.Advertisements

The most important medium to increase your client base is through ads. Advertising plays an essential role in the branding of your Company. The more you advertise, the number of people get attracted to your company. The best platform to advertise is through social media. Social media has a significant influence on the lives of people. Advertising through platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, etc., can boost your sales rate in a short period.

4.Marketing and Strategic Alliances

Marketing is vital to boost your company in society. As for strategic planning, first, look at what you are not offering and what are the needs of your customer.  After analyzing their needs, you should consider and target what the audience wants.

5.Public Relations and Connectivity

One of the most important things to grow your business is to maintain ties with other people and customers. Making connections with other people who might help you with other services and which can, in turn, benefit your business is also an essential part of expanding your company.
