Ideas on what to package with it are: other travel directories or travel tip guides on different themes (start a series), fun travel gifts that fit into your budget and are even branded with your business information like pens, stationary, postcards, water bottles, key chains, scratch pads, medicine carrying containers, candies, mints, gum, checkbook covers, travel vouchers, high lighters, fanny packs, small first aid kits, snack packs, and other fun travel accessories. For help finding fun goodies, look up “promotional products” on the web or in your local yellow pages under marketing subject headings to find dealers who have catalogues full of stuff for your promotions. 3. Team up with others in your promotions. Package something from travel-related companies with your special and try to work out a deal with fellow business owner / operators. For example, maybe you could package your goodies in a carrying case, supplied by another vendor who wants to cross-promote and help pay for ads.

And kick up some excitement, new leads and sales!
