I recorded a PODCAST! My affiliate marketing friend Jamie Birch (JEB Commerce) was interested in how a travel business was faring during a pandemic. We talked about how Irv's Luggage started, how we have evolved and how we've pivoted to stay alive during the current crisis that has hobbled the travel industry. From the airlines and hotels to tour guides and travel advisors to luggage and travel goods stores, the effects are far reaching and quite devastating.
Our strategy is to Hold On, Stay Connected to our Community and Stay Relevant to our Customers. Simply put, we strive to be everything Amazon ISN'T.
PRO TIP: Fast forward to 14:00 (skip to the interesting part where we reopen!)
Get comfy (it's long 😊) and have a listen: https://1l.ink/ZZ87WHC
Ok, we all have LOTS of masks by now, but I found this one last week and I'm obsessed. It's a 2 ply silky material mask with adjustable ear loops & adjustable nose bridge. It's SO comfortable, my daughter took one home (she's VERY hard to please when it comes to masks).
If your masks need a refresh, this is THE ONE. Comes in black and denim too, and passes Bill Nye the Science Guy's candle test. 🕯️ This one is a winner! 😷🏅

The prediction is that in 2021, you're likely to meet two types of travelers.
One is on a replacement vacation. Many travelers ended up with vouchers after they canceled. Those often expire within a year, so there's likely to be a rush to redeem them.
The second type of traveler is the one who waited an entire year to get out and travel. Stuck indoors for most of 2020, these travelers will want to do more and will be willing to spend more. 🙋🏻♀️🤑
The takeaway? Don't wait too long to make your travel plans for 2021 — or even this year. We highly recommend using a travel advisor to help you navigate the ins & outs of post-COVID travel.
People want to travel, and there will be a pent-up demand when restrictions are lifted.
We can only hope! 🤞

Great article on the innovative ways airports and airlines are handling the pandemic. We are counting on them to help keep us safe, and their efforts are reassuring. Even if you're not quite ready to fly, this is great news and bodes well for the future of air travel.
Here's a tidbit: United Airlines recently began applying an antimicrobial coating to seats, tray tables, armrests, overhead bins, lavatories and crew stations. ✅

5 Tips for Flying During Covid:
1. Wear the BEST MASK you have. You're sitting close to others, so wear a quality mask like this: https://1l.ink/8BTXCG8
2. Wash/Sanitize your hands often. Sanitizing hand lotion will keep your hands clean AND soft: https://1l.ink/NR83B52
3. Sanitize your seat and tray table. These covers will help: https://1l.ink/5DG42LM
4. Eat BEFORE you fly so you can leave your mask on.
5. Board last so you don't have as many people walking past you.
Safe travels! We're ready when you are ✈️✅
