Advantage door drop brochure leads to record booking
Solent World Travel made an £80,000 booking last week as a direct result of a recent Advantage door drop mailing, sent out from head office.
Senior travel consultant Lynn Martin made the booking for two clients who wanted to tick destinations off their bucket list.
The customers booked a once-in-a-lifetime six-month trip visiting Singapore, Bangkok, Sydney, Hawaii and Miami among others. During their stay they will also be travelling on the Orient Express and driving around in a VW Campervan for 79 nights.
The customers live in the local vicinity of where a targeted door drop mailing was distributed in January 2016.
This is the biggest booking ever made by Solent World Travel in Lee on the Solent and one of the largest booking The Advantage Travel Partnership has seen in the leisure side of the business.
Lynn Martin has been working on the booking over the past six months and other travel companies had turned the booking down because of its complexity.
She said: "I am delighted to have in place the full itinerary for this booking, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime booking. It was really enjoyable putting the booking together and building a relationship with these clients and I’m looking forward to hearing about their adventure!"
Advantage Travel Partnership managing director Julia Lo Bue-Said added: "We are extremely proud of Lynn and the team of Solent World Travel. Their diligence and patience provided their customers with outstanding customer service, resulting in a whirlwind booking for the team."
