Why Do We Need A Store Front? We have had a few bookings working out of our homes with our day jobs and its time to take it to the next level to accomplish our community goals, giving 20-40% of our profits back to community programs across the US. But to do that, we need more bookings. Having a store front in a high traffic area such as our local mall or Walmart will allow us to be seen, be out there more and bring the world of travel to more people. We are very passionate about what we do and what we can achieve. Travel Agents aren't gone with the wind. We work directly with suppliers and certify through suppliers to get exclusive access to travel deals that online competition can't. We will also do bookings to anyone in the country, not just local. Isn't technology great? What We Need & What You Get Why only $6,000? That is our minimum amount that will allow us to get a store front and some advertising for the new location. • Around $3,000 of it will be used to rent the location which will allow us to do more things apart from visibility such as a vacation law-a-way plan! How awesome is that? The rest will be used for advertising and marketing. • Bumper stickers, gift cards and what? Cruises? All for helping us reach our goals. • Even if we don't meet our goal, the funds will still be used to help us achieve this goal. Impact to the Community We want to be a small business that does more for the community than other business'. We want to donate a good amount of our profits to programs that benefit the youth, food banks and charity such as United Ways. • Not only will we benefit the local communities across the country, yes, not just local communities will be helped but we want to help people travel that are lower income by having a lay-a-way program that will allow monthly payments up until their travel date. The whole world should be able to travel and make memories that last a life time. • We will start a blog to show all of our supporters the progress we are making and the benefits we are making to the lives of people through travel and our donations. Risks & Challenges Just like every other person, we have risk and challenges. We have the challenge of educating people why using travel agents are more beneficial than online booking sites. We have the risk of losing everything if this doesn't succeed but we have the drive and will power to make this succeed. • Over the past year, we have had personal issues to overcome that makes us want to succeed even more. Medical issues caused us to almost lose our home in foreclosure, contracts with a workplace ending put financial strain on us but we overcame. Imagine having this drive in a business that wants to do great things. Other Ways You Can Help We know not everyone can pitch in to help meet our goals, but there are other ways to help us.
