About Co-branded Websites:
Co-branded sites are supplier websites that are customized to a specific travel advisor or agency. For example, Susie Sunshine Travel can have a co-branded site with XYZ Travel Supplier. This allows the brand of the advisor (Susie Sunshine) to market links to their personally co-branded website.
The benefit is that customers can easily view and book the specific product that was promoted, as well as other dates, itineraries, and products. In short, it gives you the opportunity to offer online bookings without having to be responsible for the technology.
BranchUp acts as a marketing partner, publishing posts that connect to your personal landing page where a "Book" button will directly connect to your individual co-branded site.
To make this work seamlessly there are a few simple steps you need to complete to activate your co-branded marketing.
