Travel Universal
Travel Universal has built its reputation by providing quality service and value to their clients. Four years ago, 80% of their revenue came from airline ticket sales. Today, more than 85% of Travel Universal's revenue comes from the Internet. Web marketing using OnlineAgency has enabled them to break free from the dependency on the airlines and move into selling the specialties they have always wanted to focus on.
CruiseGal
Terri Maldonado wanted a home-based travel business that would appear as big and sophisticated as any national conglomerate. She launched her website in 1998, and as the only agent, booked slightly more than $200K of gross sales in cruises. Today, she has a network of 16 independent travel ambassadors working with her. To date in 2002, they have collectively booked more than 20 groups and 500 individual vacations. From its inception, Cruisegal was intended to be a virtual entity. Terri and her network place a huge emphasis on personal interaction facilitated through the technology provided by OnlineAgency.
Dugan's Travels
At 28, Jennifer Dugan has been a Travel Agent for 9 years. The owner of Dugans Travels, she started her home-based agency in 1997 when she had her first child. Her need to be at home with him and still have an income made her take a leap into owning her own business. Her desire to help others become work-at-home agents coupled with her desire to make her agency a strong force in the industry has paid off. She now has over 85 agents working with her agency from their homes.
