HOW IT WORKS
These are real vacations and not time shares. You or your customer
will fill out the certificate and mail it back in to us. Then a travel
agency will call asking what dates you/they want to travel. It's that
simple. We are merely filling the excess inventory that the cruise lines
or hotels want to get rid of. If you think about it, it does make sense.
Cruise ships are being built larger and larger each year. It takes the
same amount of gas to take out 1,000 or 1,100 passengers. The buffet
tables still have to be stocked because they don't really know how many
people will eat at them. But a recent survey says that each person on a
cruise spends an extra $500 to $1,000. So it makes sense that the cruise
lines would want all the extra cabins filled to at least make some money.
Hotels want the empty rooms filled because the guests will most likely
spend money on tipping, room service etc. (Click on the link for the FAQ
page for more explanations).
There are many reasons to purchase our package:
1) Cost - Much less expensive than most other forms of advertising.
MOST business owners will use the packages themselves. Just using
the airline certificate once will pay for the cost of our program.
We had one business owner who did just that. He had a family reunion
in a few months. He was just about to purchase two roundtrip airline
tickets from North Carolina to California. The cost was $1,400.
With our "Free Companion Airfare" certificate he saved $700. He
mailed an airline certificate to each family member around the country and
saved his family thousands of dollars. That more than paid for the
cost of the program.
2) Will increase your bottom line - Many businesses will offer
discounts or specials to get customers or make extra sales. No
matter what you call it, whether it be a discount or sale, it's still
money out of your pocket. Instead of giving the customer a break on
your price give them a choice of vacations. To the customer that
vacation has a much higher value than your discount, and is not money out
of your pocket. We had an auto stereo store who advertised a sale
the coming weekend of "no taxes". Someone has to pay the taxes to
the government. So that was money out of the owner's pocket.
Now they advertise with every stereo or TV system the customer get's a
free vacation of their choice. The perceived value to the customer
is much more than the tax savings and it kept the money in the owner's
pocket.
3) Improved ad response - Use our system in conjunction with your
current advertising. One car lot advertised a free vacation for
every test drive. The response was amazing. One real estate
lady advertised in the newspaper a free vacation to Vegas for everyone
that came to her open house that weekend. Even if the people weren't
interested in that particular house, she still got them as new customers.
4) Customer repeat business - Create a club and reward members with
vacation packages. One auto shop created a club and immediately
mailed a letter to all the people in their database. The customer
got a free vacation or airline ticket for every so many oil changes.
We make it extremely affordable for any business, large or small, to
cost-effectively utilize our certificates. Instead of having to purchase
certificates individually as other companies require, with our company you
only pay a small yearly licensing fee allowing you to print an unlimited
number of certificates. Whether you need 100 or 1,000, you’ll quickly
come to see that it's considerably less than paying for each one
individually. All our certificates have high-perceived value. The
certificate holder will pay a small processing and handling fee to redeem
the certificate to receive what the certificate offers.
Businesses who use the certificates in their marketing & promotions see at
least a 30% increase in sales. Use the certificates in all your promotions
that include online, telemarketing, single copy inserts, in paper,
retention department and direct mail offers for both new and previous
customers. Simply incorporate our promotional certificates into your
regularly scheduled advertising program and easily make your campaign
unique. The perceived value of the certificates influences an amazing
response from recipients. Also use the certificates to generate referrals
from your network of business colleagues. Think about how much more your
company could make if you could generate 30 percent more business.
