WHAT SOME OF OUR CLIENT’S HAVE TO SAY

We’re in our 14th year working with The World’s Greatest Vacations & consistently exceed acquisition goals. Richard Shane is a smart partner with a wealth of market knowledge. His team of experts know what to deliver and make it happen every time.

Hi Richard, I just have to share…the response to our inclusion in Treasure Chest this fall has really been fan tastic. We definitely surpassed our ROI expectations by closing a good bit of business and are actually still getting inquiries off of it. Additionally, we are now marketing to those that expressed interest and are seeing a good return there as well. Now I see w hy/how you “guaranteed results”! We would really like to partner with some of your cruise lines and be the Call To Action on their inser ts. Look forward to the next mailing. Thanks a million!

From being WGV’s first client ever to present, The World’s Greatest Vacations continue to be a key component of our marketing m ix, continuing to deliver high quality leads and excellent conversion rates. Happy to have been a part of this from the beginning and the value add continues to be outstanding.

Before the campaign you thought it might drive 3k to 4k bookings. It was more than that . I hate to give exact numbers until I know for I am very happy with the campaign.

Atlantis was guaranteed to have their bookings goal achieved… it was exceeded tenfold.

The result of this last mailing was brilliant. The momentum we’ve built surpassed our highest expectations & was more than double what we’ve ever achieved in the past. We’ve worked together for 13+ years now & your passion for your brand with the support of ours has never wavered.

As you know, eight consecutive mailings…have filled our ships and database with thousands of bookings! Thrilled to see the cir culation continuing to grow.
