Hello Canada,

This past winter we held a window display contest across the country and below you will see some photo’s of the winning agency. This photo is a great example of branding and true partnership. Congrats to Carlson Wagonlit Harvey’s Travel in Saint John, New Brunswick!!!

How do you brand your business with Sandals? Has the Sandals brand increased your revenue? What sort of marketing initiative have you done or will be doing? How else can we help you grow your business?

Looking forward to all of your comments!

Have a great week!

Gina

Hi Gina;
They did a great job with their window! I refresh my window once a month and I try to put Sandals and Beaches up most of the time. I also include Sandals sales in my newsletters and I find that makes the phone ring. I think more product knowledge would help, fams are the best way to learn about a product because we can then sell it with confidence.

Hi Kim,
We actually do have many fams scheduled. Please contact your local BDM for all the details.

Wow!!! That is a great window! I am a home based agent so I do mailings to past clients and I do see the return in this.

They put a lot of effort in this display. Great team work!
Sandals has helped me increase my revenue by giving me so much support.

Sandals pays us great commission and we also earn our own vacations. I try to promote your brand as much as possible and I am now looking at getting a Sandalsw Vehicle to bring in more business.

Hi Trish,
The Sandals vehicle will drive in a lot of business to your agency. I have a Sandals vehicle and I get stopped by so many people asking for information. This is a great way to brand yourself with us and the more bookings you make with us the more marketing dollars you will earn and that can pay for the vehicle.

Wow what a great display! We are in the process of setting up the co-branding with Sandals on our website. I think this is a great feature and it really works. Just having the name Sandals on your website makes a difference. I have made sure that my business cards and my e-mail signature has that I am a Sandals Silver Specialist. I find that when they see the words Sandals and Specialist together it validates my credentials.

Very creative!!! This just gave me an idea. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Gina,
What a fantastic effort by the Carlson Wagonlit team. When client's see that level of excitement from their travel
agency they will ask more questions, become more informed, choose a Sandals brand and get every penny's worth of their
travel investment. They should be proud of their efforts!
Take care and enjoy your day.

Hi Gina:
Just wanted to let you know that my wife, Debbie, and I took advantage of a whirlwind 2 day FAM to Beaches Turks and Caicos and, as a result of our visit, we were able to sell a wedding couple and their group of 60+ guests to their wedding at Beaches Turks and Caicos.
My ability to send my own pictures of the resort from my 2 days there convinced the bride that Beaches was the place they wanted to celebrate their vows together.

We are very happy that having the opportunity to actually visit the resort on a sponsored FAM has allowed us to enthusuastically endorse this resort to our clients.

Thank you, Sandals, for your efforts to be "travel agent friendly."
