Paris Around

Posts Tagged ‘Business’

A woman traveling on business faces unique problematic situations. One of them is traveling with a team. When traveling on business with co-workers, you should reserve a hotel room alone, if possible. You will want and need privacy to relax, enjoy private time, or to catch up on work or sleep.

Dealing with someone else’s schedule and idiosyncracies can put a strain on both of you. What’s more, if you snore or walk about the room in cold cream and rollers, you risk shattering the business image you have so carefully created.

Traveling Alone

When seated at a bar or eating alone, a woman should carry a portfolio case to signal that she is traveling on business. Carry a book to read instead of a newspaper, unless you know how to fold a newspaper properly into a small parcel so it isn’t cumbersome to hold.
Don’t bring clients to your hotel room. Arrange to meet them in the lobby, hire a conference room, or upgrade to a suite.
Respect the rights of other hotel guests, and don’t use your room to host a party. Instead, celebrate an occasion with your co-workers in the hotel’s cocktail lounge.

Private Homes

Avoid staying at the home of a client or a business associate. Your host might find it stressful to entertain during a business occasion. It might also be stressful for you to be always “on” throughout the visit. If you must stay in a home, arrange your own transportation. Let your host know when you expect to arrive and exactly how long you will be staying. Bring along a non-personal gift that complements the lifestyle of the host.

Be on time for meals and for any activities your host has pre-arranged. Provide your own appropriate clothing for activities. Entertain yourself if nothing is planned.
Ask about household rules and routines. Keep your room and the bathroom clean and tidy, even if there is household help. Unless otherwise instructed, make your bed each morning.
On the last day of your visit, ask if you should change the bed sheets and where to put your used towels.
Tip the household help unless your host instructions you other wise. About per nigh is customary. Place the cash tip in an envelop that has the recipient’s name on it, and include a thank-you note. Present the tip personally, or leave it in the room you occupied, where it can be seen.
Send a thank-you note to hour host within 24 hours after leaving the home, mentioning one or two special events the host has provided. Including a gift is a thoughtful gesture.  Read more...

The founders of Elytour Paris, Incoming Luxury Agency are explaining their philosophy for travel:

A : On my very first trip to Paris I fell in love with the irresistible charm of this magical city. Of course I had already seen numerous images of the city in books, but in reality the “city of lights” proved to be much more majestic, warm and mysterious than I ever could have imagined.

From that moment on, I was driven by a passion to discover the magical and undiscovered treasures that are so abundant in the capital of France, which lead me to create a catalogue of fabulous places and rare gems. Now I can share this collection with all those who, like me, believe that a voyage is first and foremost an encounter between our senses and emotions.

A : Our passion for France and its richness guided us in the discovery of this magnificent land. We walked through the City of Lights, met with designers, artisans and restaurateurs to discover and personally evaluate thousands of Parisian establishments for you. Thus was born our selection of urban excursions, unique or classic, of charm and gourmandise. We are pleased to present you with this catalogue of Parisian experiences that we discovered and selected just for you.

As a small travel agency, it is hard to compete with the conglomerates in the tourism industry. The situation has just got worse with the state of economy that we have today because more and more people are cutting down on their travelling expenses. In this case, you need to come up with effective marketing strategy to get business from potential clients. Brochures are among the most effective marketing tools that you can use for promotion. These are also inexpensive to print so you don’t have to worry even if you’ve only got a small budget.

The catch, though, is that you have to make sure that your brochures are effective and can really attract the attention of your target audience. To help you with that, here are few tips to make your brochure and its designs more appealing and attention-grabbing:

Tips to Create Attention-Grabbing Brochures to Boost Travel Bookings

* Design your brochure prints with colors and themes in line with your business’ motif. You can either base your designs on your business logo and name or the façade and interior designs of your travel agency office. The relevancy will make it easier for people to identify your brochures against other agency’s print ads. It is also best to minimize your use of color because too much can affect the overall focus of your print.

* Create an irresistible package deal and highlight it in your brochures. People are now looking for various ways to save up some money and a packaged vacation offer is just one thing that your target market will love. For example, you can offer a trip to the Caribbean with discounted airfares, hotel accommodations and free transportation.

* Use fresh and high resolution images to advertise your offered destination on our brochure prints. As much as possible, have photos taken by professional photographers and photos that were taken specifically for your prints.

The key to successful marketing using your travel brochures is good planning. When you have thought things over and over before actually executing them, you can be assured that you will have effective marketing materials at hand. The tips above are just a few things that you can follow but there are tons of tips that you can still find online – not only for brochures but other print materials as well.
