Examples of our work

A Clear Approach...

We know that you will want us to concentrate our efforts on helping you fill empty hotel rooms in those difficult low season months.

It was with this in mind that over the last few years years we have organised a series of consumer events for each of our clients. Using a blend of advertorial and advertising and working very closely with chosen tour operator partners we been delighted with the success we have seen.

Talking directly to consumers is essential not only to promote our resorts but to find out what our consumers are looking for. Targeted consumer shows are the perfect way to reach a high number of clients in a short space of time. Our vast experience ensures that we choose shows that we know will perfectly match our clients target audience.

We have exhibited at various consumer shows including a number of Wedding shows such as the Designer Wedding Show, Tatton Park and the National Wedding Show. Lifestyle shows including the Luxury Travel Show, Destinations, The Spa Show, Dive Shows, Polo events and much more. We know too that exhibiting itself is not enough - using our usual creative approach we ensure that no one leaves a show with out experiencing what we have to offer - whether that is a Caribbean Steel Pan band, a trained massage therapist of even a chef conjuring up local delicacies to tempt passers by - we know how to make a splash and to achieve maximum impact for you.

A Clear Way Forward...

We are a strong believer that, to sell a product to its full potential, sales staff should experience the product for themselves to not only gain full knowledge of the hotels and destination but also to ensure they offer the right holiday to their clients.

We have organised and hosted several fam trips to our client's portfolio of hotels, as well as help organise tour operator and tourist board fam trips.
