Introducing Reposite’s Trips Marketplace
Travel Professionals: Save time while receiving inbound supplier proposals for your active trips
Suppliers: Get notified of planned trips happening in your area, and proactively submit proposals to win that business
For Travel Professionals
A day in the life of a travel professional: you open up your email and receive a new RFP from a client — you have 24–48 hours to turn around the proposal. In the proposal you need descriptions of supplier offerings, images, and pricing. You also need to ensure you are presenting the most attractive & unique offer to your client so you win the lead. How do you achieve this in a way that doesn’t have you pulling your hair out and losing sleep?
The answer: Reposite’s new Trips marketplace
Travel & event planners responsible for crafting custom & tailored itineraries can leverage the Reposite Trips Marketplace to create listings for each part of the itinerary that they need new suppliers. For example — if you’re pulling together a 9 day custom itinerary for a group of 20 people in New York, but need ideas for dinner venues on the 6th night and group activities on the final day, you could create listings for each of these needs, and get matched with quality suppliers within just a few hours.
Once a listing is published, (whether for a hotel, transportation company, venue, activity, tour guide etc.) all of the matching suppliers within the Reposite network are notified of the need and are able to login and proactively submit their proposal and pricing for the given trip. This enables travel professionals to pick from multiple options, receive competitive pricing quickly, and keep proposals fresh.
The alternative requires days of searching through outdated spreadsheets, Dropbox folders, and Googling around — hoping that your old contact information is still relevant. From here, you’re forced to make multiple phone calls and emails trying to hunt down the right supplier and get the pricing you need — all within a tight 48 hour deadline. If you are somehow (miraculously) able to turn around the information in time, it’s scattered across emails and notes, with no way to see all of it in one place to be organized into a client-facing proposal. Reposite’s Trips Marketplace allows you to streamline this entire process.
For Suppliers
Suppliers within the Reposite network now have transparency in real time to trips and events being planned in their area. Within the marketplace, suppliers can browse through listings of active trips, and even filter down by group size and category. When something looks like a great fit suppliers can proactively submit a proposal to win the lead. Traditionally, activities, hotels, transportation companies were forced to sit back and wait for leads from travel partners to come inbound, and relied on promotional emails to those partners for staying “top of mind”. For the first time ever through the Reposite Trips Marketplace, suppliers receive instant notifications of qualified leads, and can be proactive in winning that business.
