Bill Bailey
Phoenix LP Country Club
Carlinville, IL

Problem
We needed to increase lead generation for our vacation club program.

Solution
Over the last 2 years we have used a couple of thousand certificates and we have used every single one of the Travel Incentive products.

We chose this particular product because of the integrity of the product. PTS Travel is a large company and has credibility. The products perform well and we have no headaches. With other companies there are problems with fulfillment…making people jump through too many hoops to use the incentive package. Not so with PTS Travel. They offered a good product that is easy to use. In particular we like:

The entire certificate line is printed with state of the art graphics and the highest standards of print quality;
The locations utilized on the certificates are all highly desirable to consumers, thereby creating an effective lead generation tool;
The deposit and registration requirements of the PTS Travel line are less onerous than other certificate companies, thereby lessening consumer frustration; and
Reservationists are friendly and low pressure, thereby eliminating consumer blow back to the site and the distributor.
Result
Our sales have increased by at least 20% when using the certificates, over the last two years. We are extremely pleased. I would say that the mark of a good certificate is that you never hear a complaint back about it. I would definitely recommend the Travel Incentive program to any industry that needed to increase lead generation.


Mark Wallace
Massachusetts Mutual
Atlanta, Georgia

Problem
We needed to generate more appointments with small businesses, families and individuals for our insurance, mutual funds, and other related financial products.

Solution
We chose  Travel Incentives because they offered people more options rather than just a calendar or a road map and it was memorable. We used 100 of the certificates over a 6-month period in a direct mail campaign.

Result
We had a 15% increase in sales over the 6-month period when we used the certificates.


Ted Cutler
Press-A-Print International
Idaho Falls, Idaho

Problem
I was hired about 2 years ago to market to aged accounts - The company sells a business opportunity to set people up in specialty advertising industry, promotional material - pens and ball caps, that sort of thing.

The database had about 24,000 names on it and I was challenged to come up with a way to turn the aged customers into sales. These were accounts where customers had said "No I do not want to buy this product".

Solution
I used Travel Certificates to get customers back in front of a presentation, about 1,000 of the Blue certificates - 3 day 2 night - with no booking limitations. I've also used about 500 of Blue light as well.

One of our main marketing areas is setting up in home shows. We motivate people to sign up for workshop after the home show by offering them a travel certificate.

Result
The results were great. The first 6 months of last year, sales were up $400,000. The first 6-months of this year sales are $1.2 million.
Travel certificates get peoples attention and get them talking to me. They have a high-perceived value.

I am 110% satisfied. I have to be careful that other people in my company don't use the products for their own purposes. I would recommend travel certificates in a heart-beat. For the money and what I get you can't get anything better.

I would recommend the product to anyone that's trying to get their customers attention. It's the law of reciprocity - I put a pen in your hand and you feel compelled to give me a moment of your time. I give you a vacation certificate you're going to give me 2-3 hours.


Fran Hardy
Auntie Fran Goodie Bags
Affordable Granite
Columbus, Ohio

Problem
I have two types of businesses I market. One selling granite counters, the second goodie bags we provide to real estate agents. Granite counters are a large ticket item and I wanted a way to get more people in the door. For the goodie bag business I wanted to get customers to generate more referrals.

Solution
I used the travel incentive package.

Result
I doubled the number of real estate agents I work with that I work with and tripled my income, in the first 12 months. Adding the travel certificates to my goodie bags was the key. In addition the travel certificates are helping bring in more customers for my granite counter business.

I am 100% satisfied with travel incentives. The certificates are easy to use and get great results. You can count on travel incentives to give you value unlike some of the scams out there. I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to grow their business, they're very affordable.


Joe Sinegal
Get Up & Go
San Pedro, California

Problem
We wanted to increase the size of our client base, at the time 2,500, and generate more work and needed a way to get more leads.

Solution
We had a team of people who went out to neighborhoods offering free vacations for new clients if they had their taxes prepared by us. We used about 1000 of the Green lite certificates during a 4-month period.

Result
Our sales increased 25% during that four-month period. I was definitely very pleased with product.

I think that most industries would benefit from offering a variety of travel incentive products including real estate, taxes, automobiles, pretty much any business looking to improve their bottom-line …even department stores.

We are mortgage brokers and needed a way to promote our new business, get prospects in the door and close more loans.
