A very easy way to get more rides is by having businesses reach out to you for transportation services.
That's why it's important to form strong partnerships with hotels, event organizers, travel agencies, and other businesses in your area to refer customers to you.
Check out these 4 steps to create partnerships
1. Research partners that you can service 🎊🚐
Determine which businesses in your local area complement your transportation services.
Consider hotels, event venues, travel agencies, wedding planners, corporate event organizers, tourist attractions, and local businesses that you can service.
2. Reach out and offer value 📧📞
Once you've identified suitable partners, initiate contact by reaching out to them directly. Send a personalized email or make a phone call to introduce yourself, express your interest in collaborating, and explain how a partnership can benefit both parties.
Clearly articulate the benefits of partnering with your transportation business. Highlight how your services can enhance their offerings and provide convenience or added value to their customers.
Emphasize the advantages of referring customers to each other and how it can strengthen both businesses.
3. To get started quick - offer a test period 🤝
In this test period, show your new partner how great it is to have you as their exclusive transportation partner.
Remember, building successful partnerships requires a mutually beneficial approach, effective communication, and a focus on providing value to each other's customers.
4. Create Promotional Materials
Now that you are working together with your new partner - develop co-branded marketing materials, such as brochures, flyers, or digital assets, that highlight the partnership.
Feature both businesses' logos, contact information, and a clear call-to-action for customers to take advantage of the collaboration.
Remember you can easily create promotional materials with the free tool Canva, that I mentioned a few weeks ago. Example below from Accurate Shuttle from their website.
If you need more rides for your limo company it's crucial to build relationships and partnerships with local venues and businesses in your city. A lot of new opportunities will arrive that are our of your control. It also compounds over time.
Many chauffeured transportation companies that have been around for decades don't even do any marketing because they have so many great connections, that business just comes to them.
