Travel Impressions reports a record-breaking response to its just ended travel agent promotion, 31 Days of Giveaways. The promotion, which ran during the 31 days of August, generated a record-breaking number of entries and awarded 35 multi-day trips plus one grand prize to Travel Impressions destinations in the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico and Europe.
"We are beyond pleased with the spectacular response by travel agents for the 31 Days of Giveaways promotion," said Susan Black, executive vice president, chief marketing officer of Travel Impressions.
"The promotion generated amazing excitement and engagement during what is typically a slower period industry-wide, while rewarding agents for their dedication to Travel Impressions products," Black said.
Irene Gakin, Best Travel For All, Inc. and a winner said: "I feel that it's extremely important to experience the locations first-hand in order to be able to represent them to the clients in the best possible fashion. Through contests and other promotional venues, agents become more familiar with the destinations, are able to diversify sales, and everyone benefits in the long run."
