How Can I Get a Free Trip for a Promotion?
I’m sure you have seen it plenty of times- a travel agency offering a free trip to the Caribbean, somewhere in the United States or some other location in exchange for a simple entry form. That entry form translates into a lead list that said travel agency can then use for marketing and promotions of other deals. Even my company, Elite Travel frequently offers free trip giveaways via Honeymoongiveaway.com and tripgiveaway.com to generate leads and help promote the vendors. You may be wondering how you too can get a free trip for promotion.
First, you will need to decide what kind of promotion you want to offer and who you are offering it to. Decide on all the specifics like what kind of information you will request from the people entering the contest, how long you will run the contest and where you will promote the contest.
Second, prepare a proposal with all of your details for the contest. This presentation will be the basis for your free trip request, but more on that in a moment.
Third, consider how the winners will be notified and how they can obtain their free trip. Will air fare/transportation be provided? Will they have to show up somewhere in person for the drawing?
Fourth, draft your request for the free trip. You may need to ask several companies for a free trip. For example, if you are seeking a three night vacation in Jamaica you may need to be prepared to ask several resorts for that free stay. Include the proposal of how you plan to run the giveaway in your request. The resorts will want to know where the contest will be promoted, if their logo will be on entry forms and social media posts, how you will announce the winner, etc… Make sure the resorts know that promotion of this trip will mean lots of free publicity for them. Follow up with the companies until you get a yes from someone.
Finally, once you have secured the free trip it’s time to announce the giveaway and begin promoting it. You’ll need to give people time to enter, disclose the details of the trip including blackout dates and “fine print”, disclose how a winner will be chosen, spread the word via social media and announce the winner publicly. Be sure to make the rules understandable and place them somewhere people can easily find them.
