Sheenco Travel
a luxury investMent with a price tag you’ll love!
Recently Featured in our December cover story, Sheenco Travel is a new Travel Franchise, offering a low cost and hasslefree opportunity to start your own travel business. As restrictions continue to ease in the uK and Ireland, demand for luxury travel to these popular locations has never been higher.
Travel has always been a low-cost industry to get started in. However, running a travel business typically comes with a number of downsides. Return on investment can be slow, as finding leads can be tricky, when just starting out. With 10 years’ experience in the travel industry, Sheenco Travel have developed a unique franchise to suit your pocket, while at the same time removing many of the “pain points” experienced by those familiar with running a travel business.
guaranteed leads
Few Franchise opportunities, much less low-cost ones, offer guaranteed lead generation. This is a unique selling point for a Sheenco Travel Franchise. As the original company operated as an inbound tour operator located in Ireland, all lead generation was carried out online. After 10 years of experience in this space, there is robust lead generation already in place. Franchisees will be provided with a page on www.sheencotravel.com and will be listed on all webforms across the company website. Any leads that come in from these sources will be provided free of charge. However, there will also be an opportunity to purchase additional leads at cost, meaning the “fear factor” of finding new business is removed – an incredibly unique aspect of this luxury travel business.
no territory!
This can be a real sticking point for Franchisees in many sectors however with Sheenco Travel, the world is literally your oyster. Not only are you not limited to a US territory, you are not even limited to the USA. Sheenco Travel have been selling internationally for many years, and can even offer multi-currency pricing and processing, if you have overseas guests who wish to avail of luxury trips to Ireland and the UK.
hassle Free
One of the most off-putting elements of owning a travel business is looking after guests while they are traveling. Time differences mean you need to be available 24/7 to assist them if any issues arise at their destination. With a Sheenco Travel Franchise this is yet another element that is taken care of for you. The Irish Destination Management Company, complete with concierge department and 24-hour on tour support, will take care of all the booking and delivery of the trip you and your guest have planned. This means that you can relax, safe in the knowledge that they will be looked after every step of the way. All payment processing is also handled by the company with your earnings paid out direct to you - 50% at the point of sale with the balance paid once the guest has travelled.
luxury travel customized by you!
One of the most popular elements of a Sheenco Travel Franchise is the customization of the luxury trips to Ireland and the UK. Franchisees work with their guests to put together unique trips that fit each individual’s idea of a dream vacation. The creation of these trips allows franchisees to share their own ideas and recommendations and expand their own knowledge through the research and development of each bespoke vacation. The creativity continues in the building and presenting of beautiful itineraries utilising Sheenco’s uniquely customized software.
home Based
As a home-based opportunity, overheads are always going to be low. Beyond the initial franchise fee, costs are limited to good quality hardware (computer/laptop/ cell phone) and insurance. A comfortable home office with ergonomic desk and chair and a pleasant space to meet with guests is also a must. The software and supports package provided by the Franchisor takes care of almost all other elements required to get up and running. The silver entry level package offers the following;
• Exclusive Bespoke Software
• Personalized Web Page
• Business Cards
• Training supports
• Franchisee Networking Event
The gold mid-range package offers all of the above with the addition of;
• Travel Expenses to attend the
