&#42 discounted holidays list given thumbs up

A monthly list of discounted holidays for agents was applauded by the retailers. JMC’s Scorchers offers seven-night holidays with discounts of up to 70% for agents and their families. JMC director of sales Ian Derbyshire said: “Agents must go on a free excursion and write a report on their return, or the agency will get billed for the holiday cost.”

&#42 operator asked to consider sales tactics

JMC were asked not to sell all the seasons at the same time. Peter Hawke, of Travel Experience, Biggin Hill, Kent said: “We don’t have any storage space, so anything that doesn’t go on the shelves, goes straight in the bin.”

&#42 Club 18-30 products need distinction

JMC was asked to consider distinguishing Club 18-30 from other operators. Peter Hawke, of Travel Experience, Biggin Hill, Kent said: “When a £99 Ibiza holiday comes up, you know it’s San Antonio and Club 18-30 but you have to explain it every time.”
