Spirit of Tasmania has introduced a
new referral promotional initiative that benefits travel agents by
presenting them with the winner's cheque of $5,000 for the winning
clients next holiday.
This new promotion is advantageous
for both travel agents and consumers as it provides agents with a
new client and guaranteed business. Consumers receive a bonus
$5,000 to spend towards their next holiday.
The rewards promotion is marketed to past passengers encouraging
them to refer a friend and travel on the ship within a one month
period. They then automatically go in the running to win $5,000
towards their next holiday to be booked at the agency of their or
our choice.
Harvey World Travel, Travel Consultant, Ms Melanie Bryant said
she was thrilled when recent referral promotion winners Ken and
Lorraine Waddleton chose to book their next holiday through her
Watergardens agency.
"It's great to see a lovely couple like the Waddleton's win a
prize holiday and knowing they have $5,000 to spend really takes
the pressure off when making their booking," she said.
"With the financial aspect under control we were able to
concentrate on the dates and destinations which made organising the
booking easier and really exciting for everyone!
"Because the Waddleton's booked their holiday through our agency
we were guaranteed to get the initial business and hopefully repeat
bookings in the future - so it really is a win-win situation for
all."
At first Ken & Lorraine Waddleton did not believe they had
won the referral promotion but since the realisation they are now
looking forward to a relaxing two week holiday after a stressful
year.
"We thought we were subject to a prank phone call when told we
had won the referral promotion prize. It was on receiving
confirmation via mail that we realised our tremendous luck," said
Ken.
"We have had such a busy time this past year preparing our house
for sale and with the illness of relatives so we have really needed
a decent break.
"Thankfully we have won the prize and we are looking forward to
visiting family in Sydney and will then head up to Townsville to
spend some time with our friends - it's been over 15 years since
we've been there," said Lorraine.
"Ken and I would like to thank Spirit of Tasmania for their
generosity and since I was born and grew up in Sorell I feel a
kindred connection with the Spirit of Tasmania ships and always
enjoy the sailing journey."
Travel agents are encouraged to keep on marketing Spirit of
Tasmania to their passengers and you never know - your agency might
be selected to make the next winners' booking!
