Global Institute For Travel Entrepreneurs to Host "Nail Your Niche" Think Tank in L.A.

LOS ANGELES - May 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Travel Entrepreneur and GIFTE founder Meredith Hill invites members of the travel industry to the GIFTE “Nail Your Niche” Think Tank Retreat June 11th and 12th in Los Angeles. The retreat will feature two days of in-depth content that outlines how to effectively develop and market a niche so that travel professionals can work smarter instead of harder. The event will also provide networking opportunities and an intimate trade show.

"The year I nailed my niche in my travel business, most other travel businesses saw their sales plummet, while I quadrupled my sales without working any harder," said Hill, who lead her agency, Hills of Africa Travel, to new levels of success before founding GIFTE in early 2011.

She aims to share her strategies for success through her high-impact, interactive content, “3 Steps to Nailing Your Niche.” The retreat will also feature speakers from both within and outside the travel industry – all leaders within their respective fields – who will touch on topics ranging from how to increase sales opportunities through social media to the importance of developing a mindset of success.

Of special note is featured speaker Lori Hardegree, owner of Magical Memories Travel, who will present her secrets to increasing sales and engagement through Facebook by drawing on her personal success. Hardegree recently generated more than $287,000 in sales from a $40 Facebook ad, and she has also used the social media platform to generate over 1,400 registrations for a webinar.  

“The GIFTE Think Tank is an outstanding experience that offers travel professionals in-depth training that I have not found anywhere else in the industry,” said Joanie Esparza, owner of Much Needed Vacations and past think tank attendee. “The two-day experience gives each travel professional clarity on their own travel business. The GIFTE Think Tank is a profound opportunity and, in my opinion, if you want to take your business to the next level and beyond it is a must-attend.”

The cost of the “Nail Your Niche” Think Tank Retreat is only $147.00. For more information, or to reserve a spot at the retreat, visit: http://www.travelbusinessu.com/ThinkTankLA/Register.html.
