Airlines, cruise ship companies, river barge cruise directors, passenger railway travel companies, etc. are constantly competing for travelers. One very simple, necessary, yet often overlooked way to streamline travel and improve the customer experience is this: elastic string for travel luggage tags. Every travel company needs a way to help themselves and their customers track luggage properly; why not also use these tags as a way to cement that company-traveler relationship by making the tag itself a value-added item?

1. Travel Tags with Elastic String—Create sturdy tags that attach easily with elastic loops to your customers’ bags. While the check-in employees may need to use those sturdy tape tags for system purposes, always offer your travelers the option of attaching a personal tag at check in in case they’ve forgotten theirs. Remind them to use a mobile number, but to skimp on other personal information for emergency contact purposes.
2. QR Codes with Special Offers—Expand the travel tag’s usefulness by printing a QR code customers can use to access discounts and special offers that will improve their travel experiences.
3. Mobile Destination Tips—Business in the front, party in the back: Let travelers use the front for emergency contact information (and you for branding), but use the back to provide helpful tips or insider information on their travel destination. Sharing travel secrets with your customers on how to improve their experience or visit places they hadn’t considered will take their trip from ordinary to extraordinary. Using elastic loops to attach the tag makes it easy for your travelers to tuck the tag in a pocket, purse or book for future reference.

It may look like just a travel tag, but it could mean so much more to your travelers with a little extra thought and design. Contact Elastic Connections today at 847-426-6830 to place your bulk order for elastic loops for luggage tags and give your travelers another reason to revisit you.
