Travelstart 2nd Affiliates Forum


..And yet we nailed it again, as we host our second affiliate forum on November 2nd, 2017 at the luxurious Ibis Hotel Ikeja for our formidable Affiliate members. As we expected, the turn up was awesome, energy was positive and the response was quite incredible! Unlike the first forum held on June 21st, 2017 that hosted more of the travel agents, this time around we choose to limit our guest to bloggers, website owners and very few travel agents.





What is Travelstart Affiliate Programme
Travelstart’s Affiliate programme offers lifestyle bloggers, established travel agencies and aspiring (travel) website owners the opportunity to sell flight tickets in partnership with Travelstart. The programme allows our partners to be creative and focus on getting customers to purchase flight tickets directly from their own website while the affiliate builds their business and strengthens their brand through the affiliation with Travelstart. Becoming an affiliate with Travelstart provides website owners with an opportunity to be their own boss and make more money for their businesses!

This initiated the Affiliate forum which was introduced as part of our marketing initiatives to build a strong relationship with our affiliates while enlightening them on how to make the best out of their affiliation with travelstart through relevant topics shared that could help them make more sales on flight booking.


The course of the Day...
At first, our heart keeps pumping as we look forward to the event of the day with so much anticipation. Though we hosted this event a few months ago, yet we keep looking for more ways to create an unforgettable experience for our affiliates. We want every forum to be unique and better, better (better? - best) than before.

Exactly at 10 am, our guest started arriving and the few selected Travelstart staff at the venue received them wholeheartedly while ushering them to the registration stand before assigning them to their respective seat. Thereafter, an opening remark and introduction to Affiliate Marketing was done by AlimiAzeez, Affiliate Manager, followed by a thoughtful speech on Travelstart by Philip Ã…kesson, Country Manager Travelstart Nigeria.


Philip Akesson described the forum as an opportunity to have a one-on-one relationship with the Affiliate and sharing ways to help them earn more commision. He further emphasised that Travelstart has a brand will continue to grow as the number travel agencies in Nigeria with the help of the Affiliates.

"As aforementioned in the last forum, need the expertise and partnership of our Affiliates to penetrate and win in the Nigerian market,” he said.

Also speaking at the event, the Commercial Manager, BukkyOlowude discoursed more about the new features and updates on our website when that would benefit the Affiliates.  

Following this, a session on Content marketing was held with Innocent Uchenna. D, Digital Lead where he explained more on how to make use of keywords, tags and creating relevant articles that will create generate more traffic to their website.

In course of the forum, the major areas focused on were;

  • How our affiliates (bloggers and website owners) can attract more customers
  • How to earn a better commission.

Finally, we wrapped up the event with a feedback and interactive session with the affiliates. We were able to note down their suggestions and feedback. At the long run, we are sure it’s going to contribute to Travelstart long-term positioning as a market leader.
