Well, that’s our hardest week over! The first of 26 and business is ok but a bit quiet still during the week. Of course with us not increasing our prices for 3 years the massive increase in fuel costs is proving a huge strain when we are carrying small numbers of passengers, but as usual we will keep at it and hopefully as the season wears on our investment of time and money into an online presence will start to pay off with more online bookings.
Talking of online bookings regular visitors to my blog will know that we have decided to make our tours from Dublin exclusively available online and because of that we reduced the price of our best selling D1 Moher Magic tour by six euros this season. We heard this week of one day tour operator that is offering hotels and agents a 25% commission on bookings – do you think this is right? I would love to know your opinions – why not CONTACT ME and tell me! One thing you can be sure of is that we will continue to offer you the best value we possibly can whilst still keeping a sustainable profit margin.
If any of you in the industry are shocked by me revealing details like this I will make no apologies as we have been dealt some severe blows over the last couple of years because we have kept Barratt Tours honest, and I can safely say that I have no regrets over the way we have grown over the years as it is on our terms and with clean hands!
