Are you interested in the access to learning tools that will improve your knowledge of Collette products and inspire you to feel more confident in selling guided travel? You’re in luck. Collette offers the marketing tools that you need in order to promote your own business and earn extra travel credits by learning more.

Collette University was launched in early 2015 to assist travel professionals with details surrounding the Collette organization and its product offerings. The program consists of courses that can be completed through Collette’s Gateway system from the comfort of your own home or office.

Travel professionals will be able to learn the benefits of choosing Collette for their clients and will have exclusive access to co-branded marketing materials along with the opportunity to earn more through travel credits. The modules will enlighten agents on Collette’s many product lines, special brochure offerings, and the many advantages Collette offers. Upon completion of the program, travel professionals will be deemed Collette Specialists and will begin to earn travel credits and discounts on personal travel.

It can often be difficult to find the time to properly market to the clients in your database. Collette listened to travel professionals who struggled with this for some time and developed a campaign in order to mitigate that issue.

The Collette Partnership Plus marketing program allows travel professionals to customize specific marketing pieces through the gateway site using their own logos and call to actions. The fully automated system features a two-step approach in which a travel professional uploads their own list to a third party provider. A brochure is mailed to the potential client and followed up by a postcard. Travel professionals not only save on the cost of design, but they also enjoy the benefit of bulk mail rates. And, Collette pays half the cost.

Collette has been a major worldwide tour operator since 1918 and offers more than 160 tours to destinations on all seven continents. It is a third generation, family-owned company headquartered in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, with additional divisions in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. With a wide collection of land tours, river cruises, rail journeys, small group tours, family tours, religious programs and garden holidays, Collette provides its guests with cultural experiences that go far beyond an ordinary experience.
