Carnival ‘Onboard With You’
Carnival Cruise Line is celebrating the first anniversary of its “Onboard with You” trade support platform with a new trade campaign, travel agent contest and 100-city tour hosted by the line’s sales team.
The new “Together We’re Better” ad campaign celebrates the importance of the strong partnership between Carnival and the travel agent community. Ads will run in various trade publications.
The “Onboard with You Anniversary Contest” gives agents the opportunity to share the most helpful sales tip they have learned over the past year by submitting it on the line’s trade Facebook page through Sept. 18. A panel from Carnival’s sales team will select a grand prize winner who will receive a complimentary Carnival cruise for two in the Caribbean with balcony accommodations. A runner-up will win a $100 gift card and 100 additional winners will receive one of the line’s “Travel Agents Rock” T-shirts.
Carnival is also celebrating the anniversary with a new “Together We’re Better” travel partner tour hosted by the line’s business development managers in more than 100 cities across North America. The tour will feature small-scale events designed to give agents more opportunities to engage one-on-one with Carnival’s sales team while learning sales success strategies and new product information. The tour will conclude in March 2017.
“We are incredibly grateful for the tremendous level of support we have received from the agent community during the first year of ‘Onboard with You’ and we’re looking forward to introducing even more initiatives as part of this platform moving forward,” said Carnival’s vice-president of sales and trade marketing Adolfo Perez. “The anniversary contest and new ‘Together We’re Better’ tour are designed to celebrate the positive impact this platform has made in our relationship with agents and they reflect our continued commitment to working with agents to strengthen our partnership even further.”
