Increase
your group size
There are many ways you can increase your group size.
Bear in mind that it's a good idea to recruit more group
members than you anticipate traveling to account for possible
cancellations.
- Enlist the help of those travelers already booked
to spread the word to friends and associates. Word of
mouth is usually the best recruitment tool.
- Contact
people who expressed initial interest but did not attend
the informational meeting. It might be appropriate to
schedule a second meeting for those who missed the first
or are newly interested.
- Contact people who attended
the meeting but have not yet submitted a registration
form. They may have questions about the tour that you
can easily answer.
- If your group is interested
in meeting regularly, hold follow-up meetings to prepare
them for the trip and to maintain their interest. Such
gatherings fuel enthusiasm, making cancellations less
likely, and often draw in new reservations.
- Issue
a brief monthly update by mail or email to keep group
members posted on new information, deadlines and suggestions.
