Why Choose YTB

Published by Your Travel Biz

The Clifton Marketing Group uses a simple approach for the selection and promotion of its products and services it represents. Our decisions are based upon what best fits our needs, requirements and marketing capabilities. Therefore, it would be presumptuous for us to suggest that YTB Travel is for everyone. Instead, please consider why the Clifton Web Group selected YTB Travel, and determine if our reasons fit your specific needs, interests and capabilities.

Market opportunity:  $1.3 Trillion dollars was spent on travel in the US last year. This industry will continue to grow due to several factors including increase in population, global economy and the baby boomer generation, which is the largest segment of our population. Travel is the world’s largest and fastest growing industry. Currently at $7 Trillion dollars each year, the travel industry is growing 23% faster than the global economy. In summary, $1.4 Billion dollars is spent on travel per day.

YTB structure:  YTB Travel is built around the Internet, which is the fastest growing technology in the world. Booking travel online is the most successful niche of all the world’s Internet e-commerce efforts. Over 80 million Americans booked travel online last year, and that number is estimated to double over the next 3 years.

The right company:  YTB is publicly traded on the OTC stock exchange. They have an exclusive agreement with Travelocity for travel order fulfillment. The founder of YTB travel was a principal with Primerica Financial Services, a multi-billion dollar life insurance company.

Product:  YTB offers online travel booking services at wholesale pricing for air, hotels, car rentals, cruises, upgrades, vacation packages, and group travel. In addition, YTB provides booking facilities for golf, scuba and most theme related vacation packages. Entertainment and sporting events can be booked as well.

Opportunity: YTB Travel has three marketing divisions:

  • Affiliate program: This referral marketing program provides the ability to recruit sales reps and build a downline structure that provides referral bonuses, direct sales commissions, commission over rides, and matching bonuses all paid on a monthly basis.
  • YTB Association program: This program is targeted to non-profit organizations for online fundraising. YTB provides the non-profit a travel booking web site for their members and supporters to book travel, and 40% of all travel commissions are paid directly to the non-profit on a monthly basis. The YTB rep earns 10% of the gross commission that are generated through this program.
  • YTB Corporate program:  This program is targeted for small and mid-sized companies and provides the same benefits as the Association program.
  • The YTB commission plan pays out from 10 different sources, which insures a lucrative income plan. Residual income is also provided on a guaranteed basis, which is unique to the industry.

Competition:  None at this time

Retail Availability:  None. This is an important factor because many home business products are available from competitive retail sources.
