Tips for laying out your travel brochure on the Overview

TripMapper 'Travel Brochures' are the perfect tool to give your clients the 'wow factor' when sharing a proposal. With many different layouts to choose from, you can customise the travel brochure to best suit your needs and the stage of the process, whether proposal or approved upcoming trip.

Follow the detailed step-by-step guide here to learn how to create a visually enticing and informative travel brochure.

Otherwise, for general travel brochure layout tips, please read on!

The ‘Overview’ screen within an itinerary is where you will create your travel brochure. You can personalise this exactly as you wish, but below are a few layout ideas.

Remember, you can decide which information and images show just at the 'proposal' stage, just at the 'upcoming trip' stage, or both.
