Agents Prosper During Sandals’ Million Dollar Giveaway

As Sandals Resorts wraps up its successful nationwide series of agent seminars entitled The Dawn of a New Era, participating travel agents continue to win exclusive trips and prizes including three-day Luxury Included vacations, wrapped cars and exclusive Martha Stewart China.

Beginning in June and concluding in August, Sandals Resorts hosted nearly 50 of the themed seminars across the country. Several travel agencies have already taken home prizes during the Sandals Million Dollar Giveaway, each receiving $1,000 in marketing bank dollars, as well as individual agents who have won a three-night Luxury Included getaway of their own to any Sandals Resort or Beaches Resort in the Caribbean.

Agents will continue to be entered into the Million Dollar Giveaway for all new bookings made now through December 15 for travel through April 30. And for agents who register new bookings at any Sandals Resort or Beaches Resort this fall, Sandals Resorts announced the “Double Your Chance To Be A Millionaire” promotion. For each new booking registered from now through October 31, Sandals Resorts will offer agents two entries into the Sandals Resorts Million Dollar Giveaway.

Winners for the June 2010 sweepstakes include Sandy Lavis of North Town Travel and Andrea Liss of Town & Country Travel, who each received a three-night stay at a Sandals Resorts or Beaches Resort, while Kate Bernier of Montrose Travel took home a Sandals-wrapped Honda Element.

The July 2010 sweepstakes winners were announced on Friday with 36 travel agencies across North American winning $1,000 in marketing bank dollars.  Petra D’Alessandro of DFMWR Ticket & Tours and Jill Ring of All About Travel & Honeymoons each received a three-night stay at a Sandals Resorts or Beaches Resort of their choice and Shelly Booze of Express Travel and Xiomara Rivas of Red Parrot Travel both received a set of exclusive Martha Stewart China. The August 2010 drawing will be announced on September 10.

Agents can continue to enter into the Millionaire Sweepstakes throughout the year and can continue learning about the latest endeavors of the Luxury Included resort company at the Travel Agent Seminars. Agents can also sign up to earn their Certified Sandals Specialist (CSS) certification during additional half-day workshops, which arms participants with helpful tools to grow their business. The CSS program is the most powerful agent-supplier partnership in the industry, and provides agents with an opportunity to brand with the world’s only Luxury Included Resorts.
