Who is Gobble?
Gobble is Mark Young - An experienced product manager turned UK rep
With fifteen years of experience in the travel industry, seven of which were spent selecting the best DMCs & hotels to work with, I bring a unique perspective to the table of representation as I understand what Product Managers — the people who ultimately decide whether to work with you — want & expect from DMCs & hotels.
- What information is actually relevant to them
- How this information should be presentes
- The language to us when speaking with them
This insight allows me tailor my approach, communication & marketing to meet their needs which inturns allows your business to grown on these shores.
My experience involves working with companies from Africa, Asia, Latin America, parts of Europe & Antarctica, as well as co-founding 'The Perfections Group UK' before going solo.
What representation means to us?
Every DMC or hotel will have a different idea of what they want from a rep, while each rep will have their own style, approach & goals. Our style is relaxed, informal & approachable, and our aims are simple:
- To give your company exposure to UK travel agents & operators
- To grow your reputation in the UK
- To generate sale opportunities from UK travel agents & operators
How we achieve our aims?
While our aims are simple, achieving them is not. Therefore we work with a model I created called 'The three C's Message' - Using these values allows us to penetrate the UK market for our clients. The three C's are :
- Constant
- Continuous
- Consistent
Some of the things we do for our clients include, but not limited to, are:
- Promotion to UK agents
- Meeting regularly with agents
- Relationship building between you & the agent
- Representing you at trade shows
- Carrying out agent training sessions on your product
- Arranging FAM trips
- Planning & organising UK road trips
- Progress reports & reports on the condition of the UK market
- Arranging collaborations with PR agencies, the press & tourist boards
