Profitable Opportunities with Bus Trips: Masterclass Replay
Profitable Opportunities with Bus Trips: Masterclass Replay
Couldn't load pickup availability
Bus trips are hot right now. People don't want to fly. You know it, your audience knows it, and your timeline is full of proof.
But here's what most travel agents are getting wrong: they're planning trips instead of running a business. They're pricing based on feelings. They're skipping terms and conditions. They're using whatever motor coach company Google spit out. And then they wonder why their bus is half-empty two weeks before departure.
This masterclass replay is the fix.
Who's Teaching
Shanteria Early built Travel Divas, an 8-figure travel agency, starting with bus trips out of Atlanta in 2007. She was in the Kroger parking lot on Saturday mornings putting flyers on cars. By the time she was done with bus trips, she was running 11 motor coaches at once from Atlanta to New Orleans. Mardi Gras turnaround trips. Essence Festival trips. Falcons trips to Charlotte, Tampa, and New Orleans.
This isn't a "here's what I read about bus trips" masterclass. This is the person who literally built her entire business on them teaching you exactly how she did it.
What's Inside (2 Hours of Recorded Training)
Part 1: Planning and Pricing
-
Why your first bus trip should be a day trip (not a weekend, not a 15-day Route 66)
-
The 15+ trip ideas she walks you through: casino days, wine tours, beach days, HBCU homecomings, Broadway trips, sports trips, food tours, and more
-
Fixed costs vs. variable costs, explained so you stop guessing
-
The exact pricing formula: how to price at 70% capacity with a minimum 20% profit markup (this is the number most agents get wrong and why their trips don't make money)
-
Why she only uses 56-passenger motor coaches and when to break that rule
Part 2: Protection and Contracts
-
Terms and conditions: what has to be on your website before you sell another seat
-
Liability waivers: the difference between being a "motor coach company" and a "tour organizer" (this distinction could save your business)
-
How to vet a motor coach company: USDOT number requirements, $5M insurance minimums, the safety checklist most agents skip
-
Hotel group contracts and how to negotiate them without getting hustled
Part 3: Marketing and Selling Out
-
Why "people don't want to fly" is your entire marketing message right now
-
How to find your tribe and fill a bus without running paid ads
-
The Facebook event strategy she used to sell out trips
-
Early bird, regular, and last-minute pricing tiers that create urgency
-
How to stop "selling trips" and start selling experiences (this is the mindset shift)
Part 4: Live Q&A Real agents asking real questions. Pricing problems, marketing struggles, audience issues, "my trip isn't selling" panic. Shanteria answers every one.
