Channel Islands promotion from Premier Holidays & Condor Ferries PREMIER HOLIDAYS has joined forces with Condor Ferries to promote the benefits of travelling by car to the Channel Islands. The new campaign, which runs until the end of August, highlights the convenience of travelling by car to Jersey and Guernsey. Several tactical offers (including accommodation and travel) are available, offering travellers a £30 discount on travel with Condor Ferries from Poole, based on two people sharing and taking their own vehicle. Agents can download posters and jpeg images from Premier's website to feature in their shop window and on social media. They can also earn £10 in shopping vouchers for all Channel Islands by sea bookings. Tactical offers include three nights at the Talana in Jersey from £365 per person, valid for travel until September 5; four nights at Jersey’s Norfolk Lodge from £479 travelling until August 25; four nights at La Villette in Guernsey from £429, valid until September 5; and a luxury four-night stay at the Duke of Richmond from £525, travelling until September 30.

New 'Trust Us' campaign for members from The Travel Network Group THE TRAVEL Network Group (TTNG) recently distributed its new marketing campaign materials to members, under the theme of ‘ Trust Us’. Si Morris-Green, the consortium's group marketing director, said: “We are really excited with this campaign, which perfectly summarises how many customers feel about their local independent travel agent. A holiday is one of the biggest purchases that consumers make in a year, and they put a lot of trust into their travel agent to make sure it’s
the best time of the year for them and their families.” The campaign features bright and colourful images that will make members’ retail windows inviting and eye-catching. Point-of-sale materials include leading-offer cards, personalised window POS and an Escape flyer with holiday deals at less than £1,000 per person. All materials are also available in digital format on the group’s marketing portal – The Hub – which is accessible to members. ‘Trust Us’ campaign videos,
especially personalised for members to use in their local market places, have also been produced. Meanwhile, in addition to the core campaign materials, the group’s homeworking division – Independent Travel Experts – has an exclusive ‘Win £500 holiday spending money’ offer to promote with its customers. Morris-Green said: “Within one hour of launch, homeworkers had already submitted more than 20 entries, and we are expecting more than 500 entries before the winner is announced on Friday September 29.”
