Profile Form Guidelines
Your company profile is your key marketing tool at Travel Exchange!
Buyers
Use your company online profile to let sellers know about your company, as well as the products that interest you. (And an updated online profile is required for you to receive your rebate.)
In your online profile, you can:
- list your customer types, product types and destinations.
- specify the destinations that do not interest you. (Sellers located in these destinations will not be able to request an appointment with your company during the appointment request phase. However, you will be able to request an appointment with them.)
Update your online profile today. You'll need your NTA login and password.
Need help? NTA will do it for you, just call our member services team at +1.859.264.6540 or toll free 800.682.8886 (US and Canada) for assistance.
Sellers
Market your company/destination with TWO PROFILES—one online and one on site.
Online profile: Use your NTA online company profile to let buyers know about your company/destination. Buyers will do research before Convention to find the members they want to meet. Your Convention appointments are likely to be better quality if you've taken the time to update your profile to accurately reflect your business. Don't forget to upload photos!

On site profile: In addition to your business card (by the way, we recommend bringing 500), your on site profile form is the one marketing tool you can leave behind with buyers during appointments.
Profile Form Basics:
When preparing your profile, make sure your form is:
1. typed.
2. no longer than one page, front and back.
3. three-hole punched.
4. have your state/provincial abbreviation(s) in the upper right-hand corner.
Also include:
1. the year and location of Convention (2013 Travel Exchange - Orlando).
2. your company name, address, phone, fax, e-mail and Web site.
3. your contact name(s), specifically Convention attendees.
4. NTA member category (tour supplier, DMO, dual member, associate).
5. description of your company/property/destination/product).
6. location information/maps.

How to distribute your profile form:
Bring at least 500 copies of your profile form to Orlando.
Give a profile form to the buyers at each business appointment.
Distribute forms during Thursday's open appointment session.
The distribution of any materials other than your profile form and business card is not allowed during business appointments.
