Online Marketing

eMail Marketing

CruiseOne designs, builds and sends 1.5 million emails a month on behalf of our Franchise Owners.  On a weekly basis, personalized emails are sent to your clients automatically.  These emails include your contact information and all links within the email lead back to your website.  We also provide an opt-in email marketing program with all the necessary tools for you to create and send emails on your own. 

  • Our shopping cart abandonment program automatically follows up via email with customers who shopped on your website but did not complete a purchase.  These emails will captivate the customer and encourage them to return to your website or contact you to learn more about the vacation they were interested in. 

 

 

 

 

Customer Lead Generation

  • CruiseOne purchases online advertising through all major search engines, and third-party travel related websites.  All these avenues allow us to increase our brand awareness, generate leads and ensure web traffic is continuously increasing for our Franchise Owner websites.
  • Online search engine display advertising attracts vacation seekers who are searching your website, but did not place a booking, and then returns them to your website.
  • When customers in your local area are researching vacations online or looking for a vacation specialist, it’s important your website appears on the first page of their search results.  Our online search engine advertising program provides the tools necessary to increase your online reach and customer awareness of your business within your local market. 

 

Social Media & Video

Social media and video have become a great resource for generating leads and engaging with your customers.  We train you to use social media, provide you with content for your postings and share best practices.  Videos are professionally produced and ready-to-use on your personal website, in social media and television commercials.
