Tripology, a lead-generating
service that connected agents with consumers, shut down abruptly earlier this
week.
In a “Tripology Shutdown FAQ”
section, the site said that it had not grown at the pace it expected.
Agent users have until
June 25 to access and download their lead history. The information will not be
accessible after that date.
Lee Pettyjohn, owner and manager
of Unlimited Destinations in Winterville N.C., who said she built her 7-year-old business using Tripology, said she found out about the shutdown
when she tried to log on to the site on Tuesday.
“They did not notify us,” she said.
Tripology was owned by the USA Today Travel Media Group. USA Today had purchased Tripology
from Rand McNally in 2013.
