Telephone conference calls providing useful information  known as teleclasses or teleseminars  can break through the marketing clutter and attract the attention of leisure travelers who are nervous about making vacation plans in a volatile economy.  An upcoming four-week course with veteran teleclass presenter Marcia Yudkin (www.yudkin.com/teleteach.htm) enables teleseminar novices to get a fruitful telephone marketing program up and running by late spring or early summer. 

"Using a real persons voice over an ordinary telephone, hospitality managers can provide vacation ideas, answer questions, build a bond of trust with prospects and encourage bookings," says Yudkin, the author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity and 10 other books.  "Then after recording a program once, the session can be converted into podcasts that can be listened to at the web site or downloaded."
 
Just a few of the countless ways that hotels, resorts, inns, destination spas and B&Bs could implement teleconferences:

* Profile of nearby tourist attractions, with some suggested itineraries

* In-depth information about the propertys golf course, ski facilities or the like

* Question-and-answer session about traveling and vacationing with children

* For international travelers, a listen-on-demand introduction to the areas appeal in their language (easier than translating the whole web site)

* Discussion of managements innovative green initiatives and the head chefs healthy menus 

* Informative interview with the head of the propertys spa facilities  

Yudkins upcoming "Teleteach for Profit" course meets the first four Wednesdays in April from 4 to 5 p.m. Eastern time and includes information on costs, teleclass structure, marketing, publicity, logistics, technologies needed and not needed for success with teleseminars; samples of pertinent emails, postcards, transcripts and other peoples teleseminars; one-on-one consulting or moderation of their teleclass; free distribution of one teleseminar-related news release; and two months of access to a private member forum for feedback and answers to questions.  Including every ingredient necessary for success in marketing through teleclasses, the program costs $795.
