Luggage Forward Introduces Commissions Program for Travel Agents and Planners

Luggage delivery service standardizes commissionable rates program.

Boston, Massachusetts (PRWEB) June 29, 2006 - Luggage Forward, the premier provider of door-to-door luggage and sports equipment delivery worldwide, today announced its new commissions program for travel agents and planners. The formalization of this relationship with the travel agent community is part of Luggage Forward’s continuous effort to provide this convenience to discerning travelers. The program allows agents to better service their clients’ needs and provide a richer suite of services while developing an additional revenue generating channel.

“We recognize that travel agents seeking to enhance the travel experience of their clients have played a crucial role in the success of Luggage Forward,” said Zeke Adkins, Vice President of Marketing at Luggage Forward. “As a result, we’re happy to share in the upside of our relationships with these forward thinking travel agents and planners.”

While the notion of FedEx-ing ones golf clubs while traveling has been around for quite some time, the increasing demand for more convenient travel, combined with the recent woes of the airlines to keep track of luggage, has spawned a new industry which provides full service door-to-door luggage and sports equipment delivery. Luggage Forward has refined the business of sending luggage and sports equipment ahead to destinations with additional layers of service and guarantees. Unlike other services, Luggage Forward has been careful not to simply resell FedEx, UPS or DHL’s service. The ease of booking and reliability of service has made Luggage Forward a valuable resource for travel agents; this new program rewards travel agents for booking with Luggage Forward.

The commissions program offers the same level of acclaimed service along with online tools, found at www.luggageforward.com/commissions, that are tailored to the needs of travel agents. Luggage Forward has created an account management interface for agents to book and track their shipments and commissions in real-time. The tiered commission structure is designed to reward those agents that have the greatest numbers of monthly bookings. This offers agents a way to build their revenue while building their suite of services.

The applicable client profiles are endless: multi-leg travel with different climates, seniors, cruises, skiers, golfers and more. The service can be appreciated by any person or group who values the peace of mind of knowing that when they arrive at their destination, their luggage will be waiting. Luggage Forward clients also enjoy the added convenience of not having to deal with transporting items to and from the airport and saving valuable time spent checking bags and waiting at the baggage carousel.
